Being new to Splunk, do my inputs.conf and outputs.conf look correct on my local PC?

deploymentclient.conf: if splunk.domain.com is running the deployment server, then splunk.domain.com:8089 is probably correct. 8089 is the default management port.

However, port 8089 is probably wrong for outputs.conf. You need to find out the receiving port that is configured on splunk.domain.com. Often, 9997 is used, but there is no default. You need to replace the 8089 with the proper port number everywhere in this file.

I have no idea if the inputs.conf or the searches are correct.
