Splunk UF is not connecting with Deployment Server

[ankit13]

Hii everyone,

I have installed Splunk uf 10.0.5 on windows server 2016. The UF needs to connected to DS whose version is 10.2.0. But the UF is not connecting with DS. I have tried checking whether there is a network issue or port is blocked. But Test-Net connection shows that it successfully connects my DS on 8089 port.  Netstat -ano shows that ports are open. When checked the splunkd.log of uf it shows that error not connected to DS, handshake failed or socket error. I am attaching the splunkd.log image for the reference.

when I checked the splunkd.log of DS its shows socket error while idling. below is the image attached from DS for the reference.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Ankit Singh

This kind of errors usually happens with mismatched TLS settings. My guess would be that you have TLS enabled on management port on DS (which is default setting), but your UF tries to connect to DS over unencrypted HTTP.
