What is the reason for getting the WARN " AuthenticationManagerSplunk - Login failed. Incorrect login for user: admin" continuously in splunkd logs on universal forwarder. Does this affect the logs being forwarded to indexer?

The only admin password provided was during the first start of uf after the install. I did update admin password from CLI as well but still getting the same Warning.
