Intermediate Forwarder not sending Windows Metrics

Hi all,

 

We have a Splunk Intermediate Forwarder (Heavy Forwarder) set up to receive logs from Universal Forwarders that sit in different networks. The Forwarding is working fine for logs as we can see the internal logs and Windows Events in our index cluster.

This issue is with the Windows Performance Metrics which aren't in our performance metrics indexes. I can see the Universal Forwarders are collecting the metrics from the Internal logs as these are being forwarded successfully. 

Any suggestions would be helpful

@Jordan1 Hey Jordan, Can you please check your inputs.conf configuration files are properly configured to collect and forward these metrics. If it is possible, can you paste your inputs.conf here. Make sure that the data from the Universal Forwarders is being routed to the correct index for performance metrics.

Refer the below documents.
