To preface i'm talking about a Windows Server with Universal Forwarder installed on it.
If i restart the SplunkForwarder Service on an active server that is generating logs, will the forwarder pick up from where it was right before the restart, or will there be a gap in time of missing events indexed?
It should pickup from where it Left , IF
- current_only
is NOT specified
- start_from
is inclusive and before your stoppage time
- and EventLogs were not purged when you stopped/started
In Essence, if you have stopped for prolonged time and started it afterwards, it may lead of loss of data
inputs.conf docs is quite extensive if you need further options
