Can you help me understand this alert I'm getting on our forwarder?: "Problem with process: splunkd"

[ramprakash]

Hi everyone.. Please help me in understanding the below alert that came from our forwarder. It is critical.

Summary:

enter code here Problem with process: splunkd -p 8089 start. Error encountered: less processes than expected.. Process count: 0

Apparently the splunk process didn't come up.

But everything is working fine. It is indexing data. I don't know what to do
