Accessing the Cluster Master situated on a private network using a windows machine

[moizmmz]

Hello,

I am currently using Splunk sitting on a machine connected to public network.

What I want to do, is, open the overview (indexing information and disk usage information) on Splunk in the cluster master (which sits on a remote server in a private network).

I am supposed to connect to the cluster master through a bastion host.

I have been given the key (.pem file), as well as the ip addresses of the bastion host and the remote server that hosts the cluster master. I have also been told by my manager that port forwarding can be used.

Thing is, this is my first time doing this. And I don't know the putty commands or procedure.

Pls help!!

Thanks

This isn't really a Splunk question, more a particular network situation.

Refer to https://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_putty.html for details on how to configure PuTTY to establish a tunnel between your current machine and the bastion, and the bastion to the cluster master. This tunnel will exist as a local port on your machine which forwards connections (via the bastion) to the cluster master's port 8000.

SO you should end up with something like
L8000 clustermasterip:8000
