WARN FilesystemChangeWatcher - error getting attributes of path "C:\pagefile.sys": The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
I stumbled across this while trying to find a solution to some UFs that have gone haywire and decided to try to monitor a bunch of files exactly like pagefile.sys, which of course is silly and doesn't work.
btool says nothing's *told* it to try to monitor those.
I'm going to have them try to restart one of the affected UFs; something's going on and I'll update here when I find out what in case others stumble across this problem.
Notoce that this is not a monitor input. This is from a fschange input. While - if we are to believe the conf spec file - this input type has been deprecated since Splunk 5 (sic!) modern Splunk still comes with at least one fschange input on $SPLUNK_HOME defined by default.
Have you checked your config for any other fschange inputs?
What do you expect to do with pagefile.sys in Splunk? That's the OS swap file, probably locked exclusively and hence not accessible by any other process. Plus, it is a binary file and thus not really suitable for ingestion into Splunk.
