Splunk Forwarder ShutdownHandler

Hi,

I have set up 4 forwarders to communicate with my indexer. I already executed add forward-server and set deploy-poll and created the outputs.conf from deployment-apps. On the forwader management, I can only see 3 instead of 4 forwarders available. I checked the _internal logs and got the following errors related to ShutdownHandler and TcpOutputProc and TcpOutputFd. Below are sample logs that I got:

03-03-2020 13:19:44.312 -0500 INFO ShutdownHandler - shutting down level "ShutdownLevel_ArchiveAndOneshot"
host = xxx source = /opt/splunkforwarder/var/log/splunk/splunkd.logsourcetype = splunkd

My guess is is being force to shutdon by the server or admin. Tho i am not sure. Does anyone experienced this? Any help is appreciated.
