On the indexer, I see the following:</P> <P>plunk 7481 1 9 Nov26 ? 1-10:34:49 splunkd -p 8089 start<BR /> splunk 7482 7481 0 Nov26 ? 00:13:37 [splunkd pid=7481] splunkd -p 8089 start [process-runner]<BR /> splunk 7639 1 0 Nov26 ? 00:59:43 python -O /apps/splunk/splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/root.py start</P> <P>Which of these are required to be running? I'm assuming pid 7481 - are the others required? Or do they spawn as needed? </P> Tue, 11 Dec 2012 14:52:50 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/splunk-processes/m-p/59884#M11843 a212830 2012-12-11T14:52:50Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/splunk-processes/m-p/59885#M11844 <P>The first splunk process looks like the main one.</P> <P>You can take a look at the sos app (ta-sos) they have a script to monitor the splunk processes (ps-sos.sh for linux or ps-sos.ps1 for win)<BR /> Then check the sos ressource dashboard, you will see the method used in the searches to distinguish the processes : </P> <UL> <LI>splunkd battleship</LI> <LI>splunkweb</LI> <LI>splunk searches</LI> </UL> Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:31:45 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/splunk-processes/m-p/59885#M11844 yannK 2012-12-11T16:31:45Z
