Any ideas why I am getting these errors? It seems like the forwarder connects ok and is working as ssl... but i see these errors at startup

Checking prerequisites...
Checking mgmt port [8089]: open
Checking conf files for problems...

I think i figured it out... Those stanzas don't go in the Input of the forwarder, they go in the input of the indexer.
