hi.

I have a splunk server that is on windows and a vmware that windows on it too for forwarding data from vmware to host system. I read documents and do it step by step to  install and configure the universal forwarder on vm . the ports for receiver on two machines are open with firewall rules. but when i add data to splunk server the message show "There are currently no forwarders configured as deployment clients to this instance" and i search more but not fixed.

HI

couple of questions as I didn't get those from your question.

• Are configured that UF as Deployment client for splunk server or just add it with local configurations?
• Have you configure splunk server's monitoring console part and add forwarders monitoring there?
• Have you gotten any internal logs from UF to server?
• Can you share your UF's outputs.conf, inputs.conf, deploymentclient.conf and serverclass.conf from you server and UF?
