Hi Community,

on Universal Forwarder I see these logs:

 

09-29-2022 12:12:17.410 +0200 INFO  Metrics - group=queue, name=aeq, blocked=true, max_size_kb=500, current_size_kb=499, current_size=61, largest_size=61, smallest_size=18

 

 

I know is related to gz files, in fact splunk is monitoring files gz.

In order to increase queue size, I usually push server.conf with new values, like this.

 

[queue=aeq]
maxSize = 2MB

 

 

It seems not working because I keep seeing in logs 

 

Metrics - group=queue, name=aeq, blocked=true, max_size_kb=500

 

 

Do you know how can be edited this queue size?

 

Thanks,

Marta

Any update on this topic? I also have set mine higher and the max_size_kb remains at 500.

Hi SinghK,

inputs.conf on indexers

 

[splunktcp-ssl:9997]
queueSize=4MB
disabled = 0

[SSL]
serverCert = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/slave-apps/certs/myserver.pem
requireClientCert = true

 

 

outputs.conf on forwarder

 

[indexAndForward]
index                   = false

[tcpout]
defaultGroup            = my_indexers
forceTimebasedAutoLB    = true
indexAndForward         = false
clientCert              = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/certs/myserver.pem
useClientSSLCompression = true

[tcpout:my_indexers]
disabled                = false
useACK                  = true
server                  = idx1:9997,id2:9997,id3:9997,id4:9997,id5:9997,id6:9997
