Check the forwarder's splunkd.log ($SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log) for possible reasons. Check your firewalls.</P> Wed, 30 Sep 2020 03:29:55 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-can-I-check-whether-the-data-is-being-forwarded-to-indexer/m-p/471908#M24356 richgalloway 2020-09-30T03:29:55Z
