Hi:

I am getting the following error in Splunk on a Windows Universal Forwarder:

HttpPubSubConnection - Received message for an unsubscribed channel: deploymentServer/phoneHome/default/reply/servername/1DC3F94E-3967-4C5D-B212-EB35B8E26E32

What does that mean? How do I troubleshoot this issue.

Please provide your opinions on this matter.
