Why does scripted input not get executed?

hello all,

i have an app developed on my linux splunk sandbox and it is working fine.
after copying it to the deployment server and deploy it to a UF running on linux, it's not running at all.
the inputs.conf is:

 

[script://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/PBNL_getTVlogs/bin/getTVlogs.sh]
disabled = false
interval = 0 14 * * *
index = tvlogs
sourcetype = TVlogs

[monitor://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/PBNL_getTVlogs/logs/TVlogs.csv]
disabled = false
index = tvlogs
sourcetype = TVlogs

 

so what's wrong here?

any help is welcome 🙂

so nobody else any idea why?

to bring in some more details:
the splunk landscape is build out of 4 servers.
1st is Cluster Master, KV Store, License Master, Search Head
2nd and 3rd are Indexer
4th is Deployment Server

the index tvlogs is defined on the cluster master with a whole bunch of other indexes

etc/master-apps/_cluster/local/indexes.conf
[tvlogs]
repFactor = auto
maxHotSpanSecs = 86400
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB/tvlogs/db
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 15552000
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/tvlogs/thaweddb
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB/tvlogs/colddb

and it's deployed to the indexer cluster

no. the only thing i see in the UF's log is, that the app is installed.
all files and folders are created. the monitor is created too:

splunk@srv141:~$ splunk list monitor
Monitored Directories:
        $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk
        some other directories
Monitored Files:
        $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/PBNL_getTVlogs/logs/TVlogs.csv
        some other files
