Hi,
I have installed a Splunk instance that serves as a search head and now I need to install another instance to serves as a heavy forwarder. However when I download the Splunk file and extract it on a different directory than my first instance it tells me that port 8000 is being used and then it asks me to give it different ports since other daemon ports are being used as well. Is this normal? Is this the standard procedure to do this? I just need both instances to be running on port 8000 on the same VM. Also I need to ssh into my search head instance however when I run ssh [hostname]@[private-ip:8000] I get an error saying "could not resolve hostname". I would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks.
