Forwarder Port 9996 has intermittent connectivity issues since upgrading indexers to Splunk 4.3.2

balbano — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:38:06 GMT

For some reason, ever since upgrading from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2, my 2 indexers have been experiencing intermittent connectivity issues with the default Forwarder Port TCP 9996.

They are taking turns doing this and I am afraid this can affect my client forwarder traffic down the line.

Anyone else having this problem.

I submitted a case to Splunk about this but wondering is anyone else is having this problem.

I know for sure this has never happened before and this started happening when I upgraded to 4.3.2

Let me know if theres anything I should do or look at to determine the issue.

Thanks.

Brian

My issue was due to the indexers being overloaded due to failed time parsing.

I have corrected this and the performance has much improved.

I still think there is something different in the way that Splunk handled time parsing prior to 4.3.2 since I have never experienced these connection issues but Splunk Support helped me isolate the issue.

Thanks.
