Pointing servers to the license master

For all Splunk nodes except the license master (and cluster master, in this example, since they reside on the same server), you'll need to configure the node to get its licensing from the license master. This can be easily done from Splunk Web, as follows:

1. Click Settings | Licensing | Change to slave | Designate a different Splunk instance as the license master
2. Enter the license master URI: (scheme:IPAddress:mgmt_port) https://172.31.18.102:8089
3. Save and restart

This creates the following stanza and setting in the /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/
server.conf file:

[license]
master_uri = https://172.31.18.102:8089
