The forwarding from this directory was working previous to the clean. My understanding was this was supposed to clean out all indexes including the fishbucket, causing splunk to forget was had already been indexed and reindex it all. There have even been new events generated since clean, which I would certainly expect to be forwarded and indexed, but I am not seeing anything.
Other stanzas, from the same inputs.conf, are working, like performance data.
What am I doing wrong here?
For completeness sake, this is the stanza I am expecting to see data from.
[monitor://C:\Websites\logs\...\*]
disabled = false
sourcetype = app_logs
index = app_logs

Turns out, this was a role permissions issue.
The user account that was performing the searches did not have "All internal indexes" selected under "Indexes searched by default" I was trying to validate the search by searching by host, not by index. If I search for this index specifically the data comes up.
After adding "All internal indexes" the data comes up in a by host search.

I don't know whether "splunk clean all"command delete fishbuckets or not.
But if you delete fishbucket manually and start UF instance, it will retransfer that monitoring data to Indexer.
cd $SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/fishbucket
rm -fR *

Hi neiljpeterson,
On a forwarder you should remove the folder $SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/fishbucket.
On an indexer splunk clean eventdata -index _fishbucket will do the magic.
cheers, MuS
