Monitoring Splunk

what is connection between forwarder and DS

Reethika
Path Finder

We noticed that a host "1234"  is not longer connecting with the DS. 

What does this mean? 

What would be the impact?

How do we troubleshoot this?

 Thanks.

If its not communicating, you can no longer deploy apps to the client. 

1) Does the client sending data to splunk indexer?

index=_internal host="client"

2) If yes, try to restart splunk service on the client

3) Is there any firewall between client & Deployment Server?

you can check this from DC doing telnet forwarderip:9997

4) if it checks out, please look for errors in the splunkd logs on the client .
