Re: Getting configuration for forwarder

So the customer would like to eliminate Linux now and just use Windows. They already have Windows boxes running splunk for other things. I have been able to copy all the files from the splunk home folder on the CentOS vm. How would I get one of the existing windows servers to recognize that config and perform the functions that were on the CentOS box? Is this possible? Thanks!! ... View more

A huge thank you to both lguinn and Jason (jconger) on this!! I appreciate it very much. So I am assuming since the new CentOS vm will be running in VMware instead, I don't need to worry about the XenServer configuration files? Just double checking before I hopefully wrap up getting this going. ... View more

Hmmm .. definitely open to try that. Is there any type of "install" we have to run ahead of time on the new CentOS VM built from scratch specific to Splunk? Or do I just need to move over that $SPLUNK_HOME ? ... View more

Thanks!! As far as OS goes, the challenge was converting the machine "as is" from a Xenserver vm to vmware vm. This was what we planned to do. Since it didn't work and all efforts to get around the problem of converting the CentOS were exhausted, we headed down this path. The customer has very limited knowledge on the CentOS itself and the implementation, so it's about supportability more than anything. ... View more

“I am working with a customer who is a licensed and valid support contract holder with Splunk. They are currently running a forwarder within their XenServer environment on Linux (CentOS). We were trying to migrate the machine to VMware ESXi but have experienced issues with the conversion process. We plan to build a new Windows based server instead for the forwarders; however, are unsure how to get configuration data out of their current forwarder to the new one.” ... View more
