I am able to install the Splunk Universal forwarder specifying the same server as the receiver, but when I attempt to configure the forwarder in Splunk Enterprise, I only receive the option to click on the link to configure the receiver, which I've already done from Splunk Web and from the Universal Forwarder installation. </P> <P>I'm not using a deployment server and I'm only running one instance. This has been challenging to set up and am very eager to get this running correctly. Thanks! </P> Fri, 27 May 2016 14:27:06 GMT gmaynard0203 2016-05-27T14:27:06Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Forwarder-and-Splunk-Enterprise-6-4-1-on-the-same-Winodws/m-p/274642#M52674 <P>I have installed Splunk Enterprise 6.4.1 on a VMware Windows Server 2012 R2 instance.

Splunk Enterprise will do the data collection and index it locally. </P> Fri, 27 May 2016 14:48:29 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Forwarder-and-Splunk-Enterprise-6-4-1-on-the-same-Winodws/m-p/274643#M52675 ryanoconnor 2016-05-27T14:48:29Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Forwarder-and-Splunk-Enterprise-6-4-1-on-the-same-Winodws/m-p/274644#M52676 <P>The Splunk Server can receive data on its own. No forwarder required. (and actually, you shouldn't use it).</P> Fri, 27 May 2016 15:12:52 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Forwarder-and-Splunk-Enterprise-6-4-1-on-the-same-Winodws/m-p/274644#M52676 petercow 2016-05-27T15:12:52Z
