Getting Data In

Restarting Splunk UF due to TcpOutputProc issues

Hi - having issues with a Windows UF we are having to restart circa weekly to clear the issue below which happens at random times (the parsingQueue error being the first in the chain); the TcpOutProc errors continue until the UF is restarted. The amount of data being sent [hourly, on the hour] is very small. Is this issue with the Forwarder or with the remote Splunk indexer, the forwarder seems to work OK at all other times ? NB : 'Phone Home' msgs removed. I can't see this exact scenario in other related Splunk Qs. MANY THANKS!!

This will probably stall the data flow towards indexing and other network outputs. Review the receiving system's health in the Splunk Monitoring Console. It is probably not accepting data

Hi - we upgraded the Forwarder to Version 7.3.6 (For W2012 svr) from 7.3.0 in the the hope this would cure the problem with the Forwarder restarts per the release notes below, but the issue outlined previously has occurred again.

Can you just confirm this is definitely a problem at the UF end rather than at the Indexer end given the nature of the error ? Many Thanks!
