Checking conf files for typos... Done
All preliminary checks passed.

You should be able to see more specific errors in /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log.
Share some of the log if you're not able to determine what the problem is.

- Could you please share some more information from splunkd.log
- Could be a possibility something is wrong with log.cfg file < PATH: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/log.cfg >
