This is likely not an option for most people, as it would probably require firewall rules that no sane fw admin would create.
The existing answers are a much better solution.

@niketnilay is off by 10x, but otherwise correct.
If the base search is a non-transforming search, the Splunk platform retains only the first 500,000 events that it returns.

With some tweaks, I believe this will do exactly what I want. Nicely done!
Namely, I want to have checkpointing done per log, not file, so I'll use the timestamp rather than filename. I will also need to tweak it to accept filenames and clean up checkpoints for non-existent filenames.
This is a great start, and I'm happy to give you credit in this project. Thanks!

I have a log source with a terrible timestamping scheme. The first line contains the startup date/time, and each event in the log is marked with a seconds.millis offset from that time (left space-padded).
I know how I would go about this if I wanted to ingest the whole file in one go after it's closed (use python to make a copy with calculated times replacing the offset), but I'm interested in ingesting as the log's written. I have no idea where to start for that.
Does anyone have a ready solution for something like this? If not, I'd appreciate some guidance toward a useful direction to research.

Maybe I don't understand your questions....
Indexers receive on 9997 by default.
All Splunk management is over 8089 by default. That can be changed, but you have to pay attention when doing so, as you can easily misconfigure and break things.

I don't have experience with this TA, but it sounds like you're getting incomplete data. i'd first check the source to confirm those drops are being logged where Splunk can see them, then verify your inputs are set to collect that source properly.
That said, I notice the app is only known to work (according to splunkbase) up to Splunk 6.6, so I'd be concerned about its ability to function on 7+. If this app is something you have a need for, I'd recommend contacting the author to see if they have plans to update it.

I'll assume here that you're referring to the universal forwarder (UF) installed on your endpoint systems, rather than heavy forwarders (HF), which really shouldn't be running anything but Splunk.
You've answered half of your question already: 9997 is the default port for forwarding traffic. This is the destination port on your indexers (or an intermediate forwarder), so it doesn't need to be open on your UFs.
8089 is the management port. Your Splunk servers use this internally to communicate. Your forwarders (UF and possibly HF) will reach out to your deployment server on this port to report status and ask for apps. Again, this is a destination port on your deployment server, and does not need to be open on your UFs.
While these ports are configurable (use caution; there be dragons), it sounds to me like you don't need to change anything. Splunk on the hosts running UFs aren't listening for anything from the rest of your Splunk environment, and so don't need any incoming ports configured.
When in doubt regarding ports, I refer to @rob_jordan's excellent diagram in response to https://answers.splunk.com/answers/118859/diagram-of-splunk-common-network-ports.html

I was able to work with one of my Tableau users today, and found something interesting. Tables aren't showing up for him, either, but he's able to use the browse function (top-right of the page) to find them. See anything using that route?
Sidenote: We have a convention of prepending these report names with "Exportable Data - " to differentiate reports intended for Tableau use from those that may not work in Tableau.

And you're not getting any connection errors? It's been a while, but I recall the ODBC driver choking on Splunk messages (not errors, not relevant, but apparently show-stopping). Do you see your Tableau activity in _internal?

Two things to start:
Make sure your user has access to the saved searches
Tableau only understands table-formatted search results, not visualizations.

Your load balancer should only send each event to one host, so duplication shouldn't be an issue.
One thing to be mindful of is how your LB treats UDP traffic. I found that my F5s were fixating on one server unless I set the stream timeout to 0.

If the problem is that you're seeing the graph go to zero between readings on a line chart, under Format, you'll find a setting for Null Values. Set that to "Connect" and you should see those gaps go away.
If I've misunderstood your issue, please expand your explanation. Screenshots for this sort of thing are helpful, too.

You could try where with timestamp boundaries. For example, this excludes 10/31/2019 09:00 - 10:00:

Per the app devs, the Splunk ODBC driver is not compatible with Splunk 7.x.
I'm also trying to figure out how to get the two talking to each other again.
