Hi All,

For the Cloudtrail logs, this is the last logs in splunkd logfile.

We are not able to search for the logs on ES. we have one HF.
We have similar log for vpc flow logs. Could someone help in clarifying as to why the data ingestion isn't working and how to fix this so that the logs become searchable
