Invalid key in stanza

I am looking at confs I didn't originally create.

btool check found:

Invalid key in stanza [tcpout:A] in /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/outputs.conf, line 20: autoLB (value: true).

Here is the stanza from outputs.conf

[tcpout:A]
disabled = false
server = x.x.x.x:9997, y.y.y.y:9997
autoLB = true

Any one know what the problem is?

Hi Log_wrangler,

the message tells what's wrong :
Invalid key in stanza [tcpout:A] in /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/outputs.conf, line 20: autoLB (value: true).

The option autoLB = true is no longer needed since load balancing is enabled default.

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
