Out of nowhere it could not send data via it's outputs.conf to the indexers. I am getting name resolution errors in the logs. Running Splunk as ROOT how ever gets rid of the problem. Any ideas why this might be happening? </P> Wed, 04 Sep 2019 00:21:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-can-Splunk-running-as-local-user-impact-DNS/m-p/470997#M80958 daniel333 2019-09-04T00:21:53Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-can-Splunk-running-as-local-user-impact-DNS/m-p/470998#M80959 <P>I am not clear on the exact issue but it looks like a problem with the user account on the server.
