Hi @tcsec2user,

check if your searches are working with other _* indexes (as e.g. _internal.

Then check if you're in violation, in this case only searches on _* indexes are running, the others are blocked, but indexing continues to normally work.

Ciao.

Hi @tcsec2user,

are you sure that those indexes are existent and active?

see at [Settings -- Indexes]

Anyway, the index name is strange because _* is a notatiopn for Splunk internal indexes, but I don't know this index that seems to be a custom index.

Ciao.

hi @tcsec2user,

If there's no Violation, indexes cannot be blocked, only enabled or disabled and you can enable or disable an index in [Settings -- indexes] or in the indexes.conf file.

If you're speaking of blocked indexes for the License Violation, the only way is to ask to Splunk Support an unblock code.

Ciao.
