Hello All,

I am having an issue where log ingestion have delay for hours after I updated Splunk License.

License got expired and after 24 hours we got a renewed license but after updating it the log are coming very late by few hours.

Before reaching out to Splunk, I wanted to check if its because of the new License or may

Also, if you utilize scheduled searches those would be impacted, and depending on the scheduling of those you might see delayed results. Use a real time search to validate or manually kick off any saved searches.

Indexing should not be affected by an expired license, only searching.
