Hi, 

my logs do not appear in the index and in splunkd.log i get the following error

 

09-21-2023 16:36:40.693 +0200 INFO  AutoLoadBalancedConnectionStrategy [7698 TcpOutEloop] - Connected to idx=xx.xx.xx.xx:16313, pset=0, reuse=0. using ACK.
09-21-2023 16:36:48.003 +0200 INFO  TailReader [7705 tailreader0] - Batch input finished reading file='/opt/splunkforwarder/var/spool/splunk/tracker.log'
09-21-2023 16:37:10.613 +0200 INFO  AutoLoadBalancedConnectionStrategy [7698 TcpOutEloop] - Connected to idx=xx.xx.xx.xx:16313, pset=0, reuse=0. using ACK.

my inputs.conf has only the following:

 

[default]
host = myhostname
index = vcenter-index-name
[monitor:///var/log/remotelogs/vcenter-rep/analytics.log]
sourcetype =  "vcenter"
queueSize = 50MB
crcSalt = <SOURCE>
disabled = false

 

I would mention that I have the same configuration on a different server and logs end out in splunk without a problem and this error does not appear on the other servers:

 

09-21-2023 16:37:18.002 +0200 INFO  TailReader [7705 tailreader0] - Batch input finished reading file='/opt/splunkforwarder/var/spool/splunk/tracker.log'

Hi @muqeeiz,

sorry, but I don't see any error in the messages you shared!

anyway, check the permissions on the files to read.

Ciao.
