Universal forwarder is not sending logs.

[zachantinelling]

I am unable to get forwarders to show up in the console after installing server/forwarder. Getting "no clients or apps are currently available on this deployment server".

I installed Splunk version 8.0.3 on RHEL 7.7 Server, and configured the indexer to listen on 9997 and app server on 8088. Opened these ports on Linux server:

8000 - Web
8088 - App Server (The others show open but this port still shows closed when tested with a port scan, I noticed it is listening on 127.0.0.1:8088 where the others are 0:0:0:0:port)
8089 - Management Port
8191 - KV Store
9997 - Indexer

Installed Universal Forwarder on Windows 10 - 1909 x64 client using this command:

msiexec "-i \\pathtomsi.msi -qn -l C:\logpath.log AGREETOLICENSE=YES SPLUNKUSERNAME=USER SPLUNKPASSWORD=PASS RECEIVING_INDEXER=server.domain.net:9997 WINEVENTLOG_APP_ENABLE=1 WINEVENTLOG_SEC_ENABLE=1 WINEVENTLOG_SYS_ENABLE=1 WINEVENTLOG_SET_ENABLE=0 WINEVENTLOG_FWD_ENABLE=0"

Any idea what is going wrong here or what I can do to troubleshoot the issue?

Figured it out. I mistakenly left off the deployment server in the installation
