Splunk Enterprise

Forwarder Management "Host Name" column in GUI (Deployment Server)

J-R
Loves-to-Learn

I am trying to figure out where Splunk is getting it's data to populate the "Host Name" column in the Splunk GUI for the Forwarder Management section, when selecting the Clients tab.

I would like the host name to be FQDN  (server1.x.xx)instead of it's current version (server1).

It doesn't seem to pull from any Splunk .conf files that I can see located on any Windows UF.

For reference, this only applies to Windows servers running Splunk UF agent.

I have already modified the inputs.conf (host = $decideOnStartup) and server.conf (hostnameOption = fullyqualifiedname) to no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
