Hi,

I have installed a new Linux forwader but I am not able to see logs from this forwader.

I have set the deploymentclient.conf and restarted the forwader couple of times .
I don't see any logs from this forwader in internal index.
I am getting the below error:

ERROR TcpOutputProc - LightWeightForwarder/UniversalForwarder not configured. Please configure outputs.conf.

my outputs.conf

[tcpout]
defaultGroup = HF_group

[tcpout:HF_group]
autoLBFrequency=60
server = myserver:9997

I have seen couple of links of enabling the listener port but coudnot fix my issue from that.

P.S my forwader send the logs to Heavy forwader.

Any solution to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance:)
