Getting Data In

Why is the Splunk universal forwarder not pushing data to indexer?

I recently upgraded a workstation to Win10 Enterprise. I installed the Splunk universal forwarder, however I am not collecting any data from the workstation at the indexer. I believe it has something to do with certificates, but I am not very well versed in the product. I'm afraid the documentation isn't helping much either.

So the forwarder worked on a previous version of Windows but is not working after upgrading to Win10?

Can you check your outputs.conf under SPLUNK_HOME\etc\system\local and verify its pointing to the correct indexer(s)?

If it is, you should then go to SPLUNK_HOME\etc\var\log\splunk and open up splunkd.log and see if its complaining about anything
