HI hamza101, In addition to setting up an inputs config on the splunk server, you also need to configure outputs on the Universal receiver(forwarder) in order to tell the forwarder to send events to the splunk server. See the doc here for more info : http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/admin/Outputsconf

Please let me know if this answers your question! 😄
