Hi rsingh!

The tcpInputProc error about unknown protocol is usually due to the forwarder using a version of ssl that the indexer restricts..

Check the server.conf as per this doc:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.1/Security/SetyourSSLversion

Or ensure the certs being used are ok.

You can ensure your UF uses the right ssl version with sslVersions in outputs.conf

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.1/Admin/Outputsconf

Your second error is simply search activity that contains the string error in it. You can filter that put by only searching source=*splunkd.log
