To correct this, browse to /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/persistentstorage/fschangemanager_state/ and in that directory, there is also a file called "fschangemanager_state". Rename that file or move it to a temporary location and then restart Splunk.

I am seeing this error on a system with a UF, does this process need to be done on the UF or the splunk server. If splunk server, which server in a distributed env?

This would be on the server running the UF since it is doing the monitoring.
