Splunk Missing Indexed Content Files From FTP Server

Greetings,

I have a problem with my Splunk index. My Splunk indexed data from a file log in FTP Server using FTP Pull Add-On.

But the problem is, there is missing file content that my Splunk index did not index.

For example:

file_name.log has some 6 content (6 rows data)

But my Splunk did not index all of 6 content on that file, resulting only 5 content (5 rows data) indexed. So, in my Splunk, there are 5 events produced.

 

My question is:

1. How to track my Splunk index, when indexing the data with all details, like the file content, the time-indexed, and etc? 

2. How to fix my Splunk index miss some of the file content when the index happens?

 

Thanks in advanced
