    <description>&lt;P&gt;It seems like every other day I attempt to use Splunk and I get the following:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;"503 Service Unavailable&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Return to Splunk home page&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;The splunkd daemon cannot be reached by splunkweb. Check that there are no blocked network ports or that splunkd is still running."&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I then restart splunkd and I can get back in. I'm pretty new to splunk, so I'm unsure how to troubleshoot this. Is there a log that will help me diagnose this issue? I noticed in the license_audit.log it says the following:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;"10-11-2012 00:00:01.015 INFO LicenseManager-Audit - Audit:[quotaExceededCount=0, lastExceedDate=1331794800, peak=213689346, rolloverCount=3, totalCumulativeBytesAtRollover=213689346, todaysBytesIndexed=213689346, licenseSize=524288000][C2e5bdtQOCkMHQNZsE3EhmfY7l5E/F7K7liuBjCy8xR708UOgo1jK3zZxhQsgKDzLV/+eyDh1sfGuWRIhjUqrKouiRVK6YtLX1PosMy4W9L6vankNm60b4pV4YB3hcZ8wD2WPmpm17hxCWqfCKB+rKTSq1XjuFBa7XNpdUHeE1eeEikdIMOeh8obqf1Im//Jajxi6zZ+4OF44Vj29h6PwrMULwVMbE2X3Hgh+w/+nPjxbp1mAPlOsrNIvKG7iCJV30zyiPA4VT2HarE8MdDG546WWkrVGx36hgsPy3WapBp8elLdwiqGFVMxGFTngQOgUBWB7VYHWtxphN/nUE2Lzg==]"&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Could this be a simple case of just processing too many logs for my given license?&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Running on Ubuntu 10.04 with Splunk 4.3 build 115073, using the free license.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Any help would be greatly appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;AG&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi aarongolub&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;this message is not the cause for your crash and you are not processing too many logs, yet &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:"&gt;😉&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Have you installed the &lt;A href="http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/29008/sos-splunk-on-splunk"&gt;S.o.S.&lt;/A&gt; app on your Splunk? This app will help you pretty easy to figure out what is causing the crashes or you search &lt;CODE&gt;index=_internal&lt;/CODE&gt; on your own.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;cheers,&lt;BR /&gt;
