Configure a license slave
This topic discusses configuring a Splunk Enterprise instance as a license slave. Before you proceed, review these topics:
- Read Allocate license volume for general information about allocating license volume across Splunk Enterprise instances.
- Read Configure a license master in this manual for instructions on setting up a license master.
Configure the instance as a license slave
1. On the instance that you want to configure as a license slave, log into Splunk Web and navigate to Settings > Licensing.
2. Click Change to Slave.
3. Switch the radio button from Designate this Splunk instance as the master license server to Designate a different Splunk instance as the master license server.
4. Specify the license master to which this license slave should report. You must provide either an IP address or a hostname, as well as the Splunk management port, which is 8089 by default.
5. Click Save.
6. Restart Splunk Enterprise.
Revert a license slave to a standalone license
To switch to a standalone license, where the license is installed locally and is valid only for this instance, navigate to Settings > Licensing and click Switch to local master. If this instance does not already have an Enterprise license installed, you must restart Splunk for this change to take effect.
