Maybe someone here could help me as i have issue on starting the SPLUNK forwarder.
Here's the full error upon trying to start the forwarder
Checking prerequisites...
Management port has been set disabled; cli support for this configuration is currently incomplete.
Checking conf files for typos... Done
All preliminary checks passed.
Starting splunk server daemon (splunkd)...
Error loading logging config file
Timed out waiting for splunkd to start.
I resolved the issue by commenting JSON lines from log.cfg
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.
