Does TLS have to be configured for splunk 9.0 to forward?

[eholz1]

I have installed splunk universal forwarder on a linux box.

I want to forward a log file. This version (9) will not forward to my Splunk indexer.

Version 8.24 does forward to my indexer.

Does TLS have to be configured for version 9 to work?

How can I disable the TLS requirement, or what do I have to do to get this to work?

Thanks,

Hi @eholz1 .. the Splunk Universal Forwarder 9 should be able to send logs to Splunk indexer 9x, 8.2.x, 8.1.x

pls check the doc:
