Hi,

I didn't find detailed info, how to connect Universal Forwarders to Monitoring Console.

In our organization there is no deployment server, but we do want to monitor Splunk UF/HF with monitoring console, so the info can be seen on MC > Forwarders > Forwarders: Deployment

What are the steps on the UF side to configure this.

Thanks

Hi @michael_vi

for monotoring forwarders, no configuration is required from forwarders side.

in the moniroting console MC > settings> Forwarder moniroting setup ---> forwarder monitoring--->enable and save

after sometime in MC > Forwarders > Forwarders: Deployment shows the forwarders list and their health.

P.S: deployment sevrer can not monitor forwarder health
