Even if it could, you don't have access to the web interface, which is quite helpful for managing the systems.</P> <P>However, if you'd like to setup the universal forwarder as a deployment client, you need to configure deploymentclient.conf, pointing the forwarder at an existing and reachable deployment server.</P> <P>On the deployment server side, you set the client up in a serverclass, and then associate an app with that serverclass. This app can contain any sort of configuration, including inputs.conf.</P> <P>Please let me know if this helps!</P> Tue, 01 Mar 2016 13:45:48 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-enable-deployment-server-functionality-on-a-universal/m-p/229156#M44566 muebel 2016-03-01T13:45:48Z
