Getting Data In

Getting data into Splunk ES

I already have a Splunk Indexer, and the data is being sent there.  I have a separate ES server.  How do I view my data from here?

Add your indexer as a search peer on the ES server.  Go to Settings->Distributed Search->Search Peers and click the green "New Search Peer" button.

It looks like this feature is not compatible with a DEV license?

If you can only run a standalone instance then you'll have to re-install ES on that instance. Performance may be bad, but at least you'll have data.
