AWS Add-on Description Input only collecting data once per day

[seancruikshanki]

Hi,

We have the AWS Add-on configured to collect description data with the polling_interval set to 8640 seconds (2.4 hours) but it seems we are only getting description data collected once per day at 2am.

Does anyone know why this might be ? i.e. a limitation on the AWS side or a misconfiguration/bug on the Splunk side ?

Thanks

Hello,

Did you eventually find out how to change this? We are seeing that the description input configuration is not responding to changes. We are getting per host description data once a minute even though we have configured the add-on to poll every 3600 seconds.

We have tried different configurations and we have tried restarting Splunk.

Our setup:
Splunk Enterprise 7.3.1
Splunk Add-on for AWS 4.6.0
OS: Amazon Linux 2

Regards,
Jukka
