I just installed a forwarder on a host and trying to connect it to the Enterprise server, but got an error when launching the Forwarder add new screen.
There are currently no forwarders configured as deployment clients to this instance

Please help. Using Splunk 6.3

You need to configure delpoymentclient.conf on the Forwarder and restart the splunk instance there.
