We got an issue where earlier someone created input on the HF and done the data onboarding but now data stopped coming to the Splunk. but we are unable to find out which HF was used earlier to create the Input.
is there any way to find out the HF which was in use to send the data to the Splunk SH.
What does the following search tell you when you run it for the log source under question? The host value should give you the name of the HF.
index=<your_index> sourcetype="your_sourcetype"
| dedup host
| table host
If this doesn't give you the desired result, then try the following (Ignore the name of the indexers in the search and focus on the others. You'll find the name of the HF):
index=_internal "sourcetype_name"
| dedup host
| table host
