Nothing is happening. The log file stops logging at the precise location listed above on multiple restarts.

I am still not getting what happens after logs stop updating, once logs stopped updating Splunk process crashed on Indexer or Cluster Master ? Have you checked permission of $SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/windows directory and sub-directories on Indexers ?

Any ERROR or WARN log messages on Cluster Master ?
