Hi, I am running a script to import data to splunk (via REST API of curl), after running for a while, it gave the following error in the log:

07-24-2012 00:05:46.651 -0700 WARN Thread - OneShotFileWriter: about to throw a ThreadException: _beginthreadex: The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.; 1473 threads active
07-24-2012 00:05:46.776 -0700 WARN ProcessRunner - external process 3172 outlived process group 000000014F557710

What does this mean? how to fix it ?

what's OS is splunk running on? it's sound like the following:

-If linux you need to increase ulimit to unlimited.

-If windows your hard drive does not have enough free space for windows to create the correct size swap file it needs.

Or many other reasons...just google "The paging file is too small for this operation to complete"

it is running on Windows. OK, looks like it ran out of disk space.

Thank you.
