I create a toplogy with one Splunk Indexer using a Master Enterprise License, and 2 HeavyForwarders using Slave License. On those HF I´m apllying SEDCMD and TRANSFORMATION before send data to Indexer.
My Both Forwarders are showing a strange behavior when I look at top command:
They use one core 100% and leave all others core 0% usage. (I took screen but I don't have karma to send the links)
My Indexer looks like fine using all cores avaliables.
What I'm missing? Why my HF only use one core?
Splunk support helped me to understand that is expected behavior:
"This is expected, there is a single splunkd process managing the parsing/indexing therefore it runs on a single cpu."
The point here is, if I want to use all CPUs, I must install one Splunk Instance for each CPU core, configure it using separeted web, managment and input TCP ports.
I tried and it's works fine. I used a wiki article Run_multiple_Splunks_on_one_machine as guideline.
