I am getting below error message.

Forwarding to indexer group primary_indexers blocked for 100 seconds.

Can you please explain why this error message is coming and is there any impact on application.

Thanks,
Sahil

Hello,

Looks like it is not able to communicate to the set of indexers you've pointed it to. See if the target Indexer/Splunk instance is up and running.

Do a telnet to target indexer.

telnet ipaddress 9997 and also look at splunkd.log for any TcpInputProc errors. Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Raghav
