Windows host has stopped sending stream

s_absinthe
Explorer

We have a windows host that sends us stream data but suddenly stopped the stream. Upon checking the _internal logs we found that sniffer.running=false at the exact time when it stopped sending the logs. Previous to this it was true. I am trying to find out where I can set this flag to true and restart the streamfwd.exe. If this would fix the issue.

Doubt is that we didn't really touched any conf file that would have changed it. Attaching the internal logs for this host for more clarity if the solution that I am thinking is not the one and something else needs to be done.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

There can be multiple reason behind streamfwd.exe not running, you should file support case to get this fixed.
