So I now have another Forwarder listed on my Deployment page and I would like to remove it without uninstalling and reinstalling the Receiver. It doesn't appear to be harming anything, just more of an eyesore to look at my deployment and have one server always listed as missing.</P> Fri, 08 Jan 2016 19:37:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/I-set-my-receiver-to-also-forward-data-to-itself-by-mistake-How/m-p/221664#M43514 superiorlabels 2016-01-08T19:37:12Z Re: I set my receiver to also forward data to itself by mistake.

Do this for all receivers.</P> Fri, 08 Jan 2016 22:25:07 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/I-set-my-receiver-to-also-forward-data-to-itself-by-mistake-How/m-p/221665#M43515 somesoni2 2016-01-08T22:25:07Z Re: I set my receiver to also forward data to itself by mistake.
