Hi,

I can see the below error in the internal logs for a host  that is not bringing any logs in 

Splunk error SSLOptions [17960 TcListener] - inputs. conf/[SSL]: could not read properties;

we don’t have ssl options in inputs.conf just wondered if there was any other locations to check on the universal forwarder as it works fine for other servers.

Hi @joe06031990 

you can find out locations where SSL config present following command helpfull to get locations other tha default
from command promt

navigate to splunk--->bin

run following command

splunk btool inputs list ssl --debug | grep -i local

use findstr instead of grep in case of windows
