Were you on the local system or accessing it from the network?<BR /> You said that splunkd was running, but was it working? Were the forwarders able to send data, or were the forwarder logs showing connection errors?</P> Tue, 17 Sep 2013 19:38:39 GMT lukejadamec 2013-09-17T19:38:39Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Monitoring/m-p/65532#M13166 <P>I want to have a check for Splunk by monitoring it with our monitoring platform. <BR /> We recently ran into a windows bug where we run out of server connections. Server is pingable, splunkd/splunk web are both running fine. </P> <P>can someone provide a more creative way to monitor? </P> <P>during our bug i noticed that splunk web was unable to populate the login page with proper footer info: </P><P class="footer">© 2005-2013 Splunk Inc. Splunk 5.0.0 build 0000000.</P><P></P> <P>it came up as version unknown. this was one additional way i was considering monitoring it.</P> Tue, 17 Sep 2013 14:47:58 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Monitoring/m-p/65532#M13166 gdavid 2013-09-17T14:47:58Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Monitoring/m-p/65533#M13167 <P>When you say you ran out of server connections what do you mean?<BR /> You say splunk web was running fine, but the page did not fully populate... were you able to log in?
