      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unless someone can spot some obvious error, I think this will need some structured troubleshooting.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Can you share your Splunk architecture (is this just a single local Windows Splunk instance, or is this inputs.conf on a forwarder that sends it to a distributed setup?)?&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Any errors in this instance's splunkd.log?&lt;BR /&gt;
If it is not a single instance: is the forwarding connection working properly in general?&lt;BR /&gt;
Does the account splunk runs under have permissions to read that particular WMI source?&lt;BR /&gt;
Does that index exist (on your indexer)?&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Have you tried the WMI test procedure? &lt;A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/MonitorWMIdata#Test_access_to_WMI_providers"&gt;http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/MonitorWMIdata#Test_access_to_WMI_providers&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
