Getting Data In

Trouble re-creating sourcetype after delete

I created some incorrect logs with the command

  • sourcetype="DS Logs" | delete

I have can_delete permission, and the process went through without any error. Then I changed input and transforms conf files and restarted Splunk to grab correct logs, but nothing happened. I can't clean the index because I need the data in that index that belong to other sourcetypes.

Please advise.

I cannot add new source or sourcetype and monitoring the DS sourcetype doesn't work anymore

Never mind. It's working now. The server TCP connection had an issue and that's why it's not updating the monitored logs.

This command solves my problem of re-adding the same logs

./splunk add oneshot /full/path/to/file -sourcetype mysourcetype -index myindex -host myhostparam

But I have new sourcetypes, and they are not going into Splunk either. What else do I have to do?
