Hello,

upgraded to 9.0.4.1 from V8.2.2, in Forwarder management we renamed Server class but when going to Data inputs / Files & directories then the Server Class is not updated.

serverclass.conf is updated, problem is just in GUI even after restart / reload ...

Thanks for your help.

Hi

At least in my environment Forwarder management is still Forwarder management on On Premise version 9.0.4.1.

Or have I some misunderstanding what you are asking?

Hello @isoutamo this is regarding renaming serverclass and looking at "Data inputs" / "forwarded management", change not reflecting.

Thanks.

Ok. When I look those on 8.2.7.1 I have only N/A on Server Class field for forwarders Files & Directories list. On 9.0.4.1 there is a correct Server Class name. So probably this was a bug on some splunk versions.

8.2.7.1

Yes, N/A is not correct if this is correctly setup in Forwarder management IMO.
