I'm a student running the free Community Edition in my homelab. My host currently receives a dynamic IP. Is a static IP required or recommended? Thank you.
For sending data from Forwarder to Indexer, you need to mention the IP or DNS name of the indexer, if the ip is changing then it will be a issue as data sending will be stopped. So recommended is to have a static ip.
Is this still the case? I have an EC2 instance that has dynamic ips and I would like to set up a splunk forwarder. Am I still able to get the logs over to the correct data lake?
Well... there is a possibility of defining an output using a short-ttl DNS name (dyn-DNS), it's not something I'd recommend. Static addresses definitely make your life easier.
