Getting Data In

Connection error from Windows Heavy Forwarder

I am trying to forward *.log files from a windows server to a linux index server. I get the WMI data to index; I get the correct files listed from "splunk list monitor", but I don't get the log files indexing from the output of "splunk list monitor" in question.

I have confirmed the windows server can connect to the index server:

# netstat -an | grep 9000 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
. . tcp 0 0 xx.xx.17.53:9000 xx.xx.16.83:36092 ESTABLISHED

And here is the output from the splunkd.log file:

10-01-2010 07:08:30.975 INFO TcpInputProc - Connection in cooked mode from xxx-xxx.com 10-01-2010 07:08:30.984 INFO TcpInputProc - Connection accepted from xxx-xxx.com 10-01-2010 07:08:45.257 WARN DateParserVerbose - Failed to parse timestamp for event.

Any idea why I get WMI and not *.log even though "splunk list monitor" shows I should?

check if you have windows app enable on your linux indexer first.
