I know that a Universal Forwarder doesn't have a graphic user interface. But, does a HEAVY forwarder have a GUI?

Yes, Splunk Heavy Forwarder will have a web interface by default, unless it is disabled in /splunk/etc/system/web.conf

Hi @marsalistaylor,

Since Heavy Forwarder is actually Splunk Enterprise, it has GUI unless it is not disabled from web.conf.
