Hello Splunkers,

This is after I upgraded to Splunk Enterprise version 9.4, the client names under Forwarding Management on deployment server showing up as GUID but not the actual hostnames, prior to version 9.4 I remember it was showing actual hostnames, not sure if an additional configuration is required here. have anyone experience the same and knows what needs to be done.

Please advise,

 

regards,

Keeping this post since it may help others, It appears to me lately that the filed hostname has to be selected under the fields.

Thanks for your post.  Click on the gear on the right and select Host name.

This change appeared after an upgrade and I assumed something was broken with my forwarders.  So dumb to remove the most important field from the table.
