Hi,
I want some hardware informations remotely on the list of Windows servers. I have downloaded the Windows Add-on, created the inputs.conf in Splunk_TA_Windows, still unable to get the output, neither an error, seems no instance of this Add-On is found on the executing of Forwarder on the testing client?

Hi chanduira,
Where do you installed Splunk_TA_Windows on Indexer or Forwarder?
This TA can be used only on Forwarder.

Did you tested the connection between forwarder and indexer?
Did Indexer receive _internal logs (index=_internal host=your_host)

Bye.
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,

I have installed Splunk_TA_Windows on the forwarder.
Connection is open at port 9997 between Forwarder and Indexer.
Indexer is receiving my other app logs from the same forwarder except Splunk_TA_Windows.

Thanks Giuseppe for your response.
