Hi Team,

I am using NMON app for collect the CPU,Memory, Disk logs from forwarders and to identify the resource utilisation and more.

After configuring the app i was able to get the all required data for a week, but all of a sudden indexer stopped collecting the data which being sent by forwarders. Below are some error messages getting in indexer server. Could you please help me with this issue?

Hi !

From the splunkd messages, it seems you run indexers in cluster, is that correct ?

If so, can you check that the PA-nmon package has been correctly deployed ? splunkd messages seem to say that some content of the PA-nmon package is missing.

If you are running indexer in cluster, the PA-nmon package should be deployed by the master node when you apply the cluster bundle. (basically extracting the PA-nmon tgz archive in /opt/splunk/etc/master-apps/ and applying the bundle)

For reference, the deployment doc: http://nmon-for-splunk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation_distributed.html

Regards,

Guilhem
