Your PC will have a different IP address all the time so you should not use the IP Address for any configurations. You should use your computer name.

It sounds like you want to install Splunk enterprise trial instead.</P> Tue, 05 Sep 2017 01:38:20 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-find-universal-forwarder-IP-address/m-p/317141#M59265 jkat54 2017-09-05T01:38:20Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-find-universal-forwarder-IP-address/m-p/317142#M59266 <P>Pro Tip: never add a specific version into URL links of docs <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></P> Tue, 05 Sep 2017 20:28:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-find-universal-forwarder-IP-address/m-p/317142#M59266 MuS 2017-09-05T20:28:36Z
