An other ideas? Thanks, Jason ... View more

Hi Vasanthmss, What do you think this option needs to be set to? I don't have any environment variables that match "mlp-da02" so I'm not sure which one I'd use. Do you know where it pulls each name from? Thanks, Jason ... View more

Hi vasanthmss, Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. I see that both the inputs.conf and server.conf were updated to mlp-da02 by following your CLI commands -- I restarted both the forwarder as well as our central server, to no avail -- it is still reporting as xmlspap2x. server.conf: [sslConfig] sslKeysfilePassword = X [general] pass4SymmKey = X serverName = mlp-da02 [lmpool:auto_generated_pool_forwarder] description = auto_generated_pool_forwarder quota = MAX slaves = * stack_id = forwarder [lmpool:auto_generated_pool_free] description = auto_generated_pool_free quota = MAX slaves = * stack_id = free inputs.conf: [default] host = mlp-da02 splunkd.log: 01-14-2016 10:43:59.734 -0800 INFO ServerConfig - My server name is "mlp-da02". 01-14-2016 10:43:59.734 -0800 INFO ServerConfig - Found no site defined in server.conf 01-14-2016 10:43:59.734 -0800 INFO ServerConfig - Found no hostname options in server.conf.
