Hi, I work with a distributed Splunk Enterprise architecture and I am trying to update how some Universal Forwarder show themselves while sending data and while they communicate with the Deployment Server. In order to do this I: created an inputs.conf in /etc/system/local with a stanza contianing the config: [default] host=NEWSERVERNAME updated in the server.conf in /etc/system/local: [general] serverName = NEWSERVERNAME I also delete the instance.cfg in order to make Splunk create a new GUID during the restart of service. What happened: The UF started sending data and the host field shows NEWSERVERNAME as expected The UF is not able to communicate with the Deployment Server. I looked into the internal logs of the UF and I found that when it performs the Phonehome: Running phone uri=[...]_OLDSERVERNAME_NEWGUID So it sees the new GUID but it tries to present itself to the Deployment Server with its old servername. Where does the UF still find the old servername? Thanks!
