Hi @amir_ma,

let me understand:

  • you have an Indexers (amir-X55LDB) with a free license,
  • you have an Heavy Forwarder that gives two messages you shared,
  • you have an Universal Forwarder that gives the first message you shared;

is it correct?

The first message says the the Forwarders don't reach the Indexer, you can test the connection using telnet from the Forwarders:

telnet <ip_indexer> 9997

maybe it's closed the firewall on  network or on Indexer, or maybe indexer is in a different network than Forwarders and it its'n reachable; anyway check connections.

I didn't see the second message, but probably is related to the free license, anyway, if you  solve the first problem I think that also the second will be solved.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
