Hi All,

Have installed Universal forwarder in my VM linux machine & Splunk Enterprise in my Windows laptop.

Configured universal forwarder indexer IP : Windows Laptop IP :9997 in the outputs.conf.

Please let me know the further configuration i need to do so that i can get the VM linux machines logs into my windows laptop splunk enterprise GUI.

Thanks,

Ramu.R

hello there,

did you enable inputs on 9997 on your laptop? (inputs.conf)
do you have a connection between VM and laptop?
do you have a defined index for linux data that matches your inputs.conf on VM?
look at this link and follow the guidlines.
