Getting Data In

How to decode which file being tracked in fishbucket is associated with which crc key?

Hello,

I have an universal forwarder configured to watch a file using the inputs.conf(crcSalt=<SOURCE>).  This works perfect, but I need to test sending the same file over and over again by prodding the local fishbucket instance to "forget" the file being monitored.

Unfortunately when I run the btprobe command, I get file not found.

btprobe -d /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/fishbucket/splunk_private_db --file /path/to/somefile --reset

I did a btool list input status, and the correct file shows up.

I then did a compute crc with the salt set to "/path/to/somefile" and used that in the btprobe command earlier and still doesn't work.

btprobe --compute-crc /path/to/somefile --salt "/path/to/somefile"

I used the results of the above command and did this and still found nothing.

splunk cmd btprobe -d $SPLUNK_DB/fishbucket/splunk_private_db -k ALL | egrep 0x34a86c35e2c71990

Can somebody point me in the right direction to get around this issue?
