Getting Data In

Spath queries return no results. How to troubleshoot?

I have a Json formatted log. Splunk shows my fields just fine. If I click one of my fields to filter by that field, Splunk copies my values into the search box. Suddenly today, this search returns zero results.

How do I start debugging this?

Then scroll down to messages and you'll find information on debugging.
