Getting Data In

Splunk Scripted Inputs ingesting only Headers

Hi All,

Splunk is ingesting only a portion of the scripted input ps.sh from my *nix os TA, and I don't know why.

Before a certain date, it was all ingesting fine. After a particular date, it's begun to only ingest the Headers from the script output, rather than the output values themselves:

 

USER               PID   PSR   pctCPU       CPUTIME  pctMEM     RSZ_KB     VSZ_KB   TTY      S       ELAPSED  COMMAND             ARGS

 

Has anyone else experienced this before?

Run the script directly in the server and check whether we are getting the output properly. If you are getting an output save to a temp file and check how it is appearing. Each line needs to have separate process details.

sh ps.sh > temp.txt

cat -n temp.txt

Thanks, did this and it led me to investigate props.conf on HF's that was having issues.
