If you want a list of all UF's you ever installed anywhere regardless of whether they are alive or not, that's impossible of course without a third-party inventory software.

You can get a list of deployment clients using deployment server. But these will only be clients that use said DS to get their apps.

You can use Forwarder Monitoring section in Monitoring Console but this will only populate after some time of your forwarders' activity. (And you have to enable this functionality in MC).

Hi @Paramy 

If you are using deployment server to manage your forwarders, then you can access the forwarder management interface through Splunk Web on the deployment server and view your forwarders which are connected as clients.

You can also check it from the CLI with below command 
splunk list deploy-clients
