@loknath  The TailReader in Splunk is a component responsible for monitoring and collecting data written to the end of a file being monitored. It's part of the File Monitor Input feature, which allows Splunk to tail files and continuously read new data as it is appended to the file.

This is not an error message. It just informs you that this file has read.
Is this totally new splunk environment or just a new uf which haven’t sent logs before to splunk.
