Getting Data In

Why is my PowerShell scripted input failing intermittently?

meenuvn
Explorer

I have a PowerShell scripted input which is set to run at the start of the service. Since the servers reboot daily, this input runs once daily after the reboot. For the past few days, this input has been failing from a set of servers, but I couldn't find a related error in the splunkd or splunk-powershell logs. Also if we restart the service manually, it works, so it is just an intermittent failure.

I need help to troubleshoot this issue.
