Getting Data In

Forwarder only sends Error

Hi,

I'm new to Splunk, only started evaluating it for a few days.

I'm using the SplunkForwarder to monitor a log file on a windows machine: splunk.exe add monitor c:\path_to_the_log_file

My log file contains, INFO, WARN and ERROR messages.
It looks something like:


2012-11-29 03:00:11,515 [1] ERROR test_logs.Program [(null)] - Message 3

2012-11-29 03:00:12,515 [1] WARN test_logs.Program [(null)] - Message 4

2012-11-29 03:03:11,515 [1] INFO test_logs.Program [(null)] - Message 1


It's working as far as I can see (and search) the ERROR entries on the Splunk server. My problem is that I'm not seeing any of the INFO or WARN entries showing in the logs on the server.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
Didier,

Please Ignore this, the problem was not Splunk related.
