Getting Data In

Windows Universal Forwarder Duplication Events

I work with UniversalForwarders (136 servers) sending data to a Heavy Forwarder Cluster (3 servers) that forward data to a Splunk Indexer (1 server).

On the 3 servers layers it's set useAck=true on configs.

I have just one windows server where I'm facing the following error.

12-30-2013 19:58:30.063 +0000 INFO TcpOutputProc - Connection to x.x.x.x:9997 closed. Read error. An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

12-30-2013 19:58:30.063 +0000 WARN TcpOutputProc - Possible duplication of events with channel=source::WinEventLog:Application|host::i-83f142a3|WinEventLog:Application|0, streamId=704141485450455387, offset=111562 on host=x.x.x.x:9997

12-30-2013 19:58:30.063 +0000 WARN TcpOutputProc - Possible duplication of events with channel=source::C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\var\log\splunk\splunkd.log|host::i-83f142a3|splunkd|30, streamId=0, offset=0 on host=x.x.x.x:9997

The others 135 servers are ok, just one is giving this error.

Any suggestion?

Hello,

It sounds like it might be a network issue. Here is a good document that describes the use of useACK, and describes a number of causes for the error you're getting.

Did you try to restart the forwarder?
