Getting Data In

Splunk Not indexing data

Hello

It looks like the HF's which are parsing our syslog data are not able to do it.

I see all these errors. Any idea on why it can happen?

Looks to me like you have a communication problem between the forwarder and the indexer.

A number of potential issues:
Interface fault on the indexer
Local firewall on the indexer
Cable fault
Intervening firewall or connectivity broken altogether

Have you tried to diagnose any of the above? If so how, and with what results?
