Hello
Someone prior to me had set the license master to forward logs to the wrong hosts so when I fixed it I have no historical data for license usage.
Whats the best way to fix this?
Thanks for the assistance!
one of the following is what i use
modify the first line of the files to reindex, by default splunk checks the first 256 chars of a file to differentiate them. If you had a simple comment on the first line it will reindex it
change the crcSalt, create a new input for a new folder, add all the correct sourcetypes, etc... using a static string that will force a one time reindexing. crcSalt= REINDEXMEPLEASE

My only concern was with the data that was already there but it backfilled/reindexed just fine
Thanks again
