After upgrading from version 7.0.1 to 8.0.2, the errors below appear.
Splunk is not indexing some internal logs like license_usage.log, and license consumption has increased a lot, but I think it is the splunk's own log.

BatchReader-0
Root Cause(s):
The monitor input cannot produce data because splunkd's processing queues are full. This will be caused by inadequate indexing or forwarding rate, or a sudden burst of incoming data.

The hashing algorithm on the pass4SymmKey has changed quite a bit between the two versions you mentioned.

Enter a new key/password on your nodes in plain text, and cycle Splunk. I t should resolve the issue for you.

The indexer displays this message:
INFO LicenseUsage - type = Message - License usage logging not available for slave licensing instances, please see license_usage.log on license master = https: //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 8089 for usage breakdown

splunk is unable to index the internal license_usage.log logs.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advanced!
