Tcpout Processor: The TCP output processor has paused the data flow. Forwarding to output group production has been blocked for 10 seconds

[ankitcharolia09]

I use Splunk Enterprise 6.6.1
I see this warning message in my splunk master node.

"Tcpout Processor: The TCP output processor has paused the data flow. Forwarding to output group production has been blocked for 10 seconds. This will probably stall the data flow towards indexing and other network outputs. Review the receiving system's health in the Splunk Monitoring Console. It is probably not accepting data."

Please help me to fix this problem.

Thank you

Check to make sure that you don't have an outputs.conf in your /etc/system directory as that was the issue when I had this problem.

Hi, I solved the problem, at the time of indicating the name of the forwarder I put the ip of the receiver and with it fixed my problem

Try this

1) check indexers have enough space.
2) check Licesnse should not cross daily limit.

Also can you provide your configuration file details?

I have the same issue: Tcpout Processor: The TCP output processor has paused the data flow. Forwarding to output group cprobe has been blocked for 10 seconds. This will probably stall the data flow towards indexing and other network outputs. Any suggestions?
