Configure agents
You can set up agents to receive content from agent management. In most cases, you just need to specify the agent management server that you want the agent to connect to.
Even though this step is performed on the agents, not agent management itself, it is an essential part of the overall configuration of the agent management system.
Note:
The agent management server cannot be an agent of itself. If it is, the following error will appear in splunkd.log: "This DC shares a Splunk instance with its DS: unsupported configuration". This has the potential to lead to situations where the agents lose their ability to contact agent management.
