Well again, I answered my own question. It appears the issue was the "add-on" had correctly installed and the "App" had not. Reinstalling the App after deleting it solved the issue. I do believe the fact the App and the Add-On are both called "*nix" is very confusing.

Well obviously everyone is stumped like I am for adding a host to the drop down in the App for Unix and Linux. It is very confusing and not well documented. I will keep digging and if I find (big IF) a solution I will post it here.

Hmm, sorry in the age of applets on phones-I was using app and add-on interchangeably
I will rephrase I have the add-on on the remote box (universal forwarder) and I have the application on the "Enterprise Server" and I am trying to get the application on the Enterprise Server to see the remote box (universal forwarder) on the drop down, at the moment it only sees itself which works

I see on the GUI of the Splunk App for Unix and Linux -- Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux: Setup that has radio buttons for enable and disable of File and Directory Inputs: and "Scripted Inputs" and a "Save button" at the bottom. I do not see a GUI that looks like the one in the documentation. which mentions "categories" as shown here:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UnixApp/5.0.1/User/First-timeconfiguration#Settings:_Categories
Where do I add hosts to the drop-down in the setup of this application? I have the localhost working just fine and I have data from the remote host, I just don't see the remote host listed on the application drop-down.
Thank You

My own answer, I fixed it
Needed to modify server.conf on the Universal forwarder to include
[general]
allowRemoteLogin =requireSetPassword
and need to change the password from the default
./splunk edit user admin -password "new admin password" -role admin -auth admin:change me
Definitely a documentation issue for sure. Lack thereof.

On the remote end I see this after installing/configuring Universal Forwarder:
./splunk list forward-server
Splunk username: admin
Password:
Active forwards:
10.40.10.69:9997
Configured but inactive forwards:
None
If I run setup.sh on the Splunk Server I see an option 5 per below:
Please choose from one of the following options:
1 - show *nix input status
2 - manage *nix inputs
3 - install/upgrade app
4 - change credentials
5 - connect to remote instance
0 - logout and exit program
I select option 5 and try http://nvp02:8089 and I try 10.30.11.25:8089 and neither will let me login
If I try https://nvp02:8089 and I try https://10.30.11.25:8089 I still cannot login
NO LOGINS WORK
If I run setup.sh on the remote server when it asks for the initial login before the menu, I can login with the default spunk uname/pwd
Yes, I can ssh and sftp from the server to the remote linux host.
Why does this not work for me?
Help please
Thank You
