Hello,

Any idea on this issue?

Thanks

Hi @Roy_9 ,

if it's a script from the Universal Forwarder, you can open a case to Splunk Support.

Some yers ago I had an issue with the UF installed on a server that wasn't able to connect to DNS server and used too much memory to resolve addresses, and Support solved the issue,

call them.

Ciao.

Hi @Roy_9,

I suppose it's a script from an add-on, which one?

If it's a Splunk supported Add-On, you can open a case to Splunk Support.

Are you sure that the issue is in the script, what does it happen if you disable it?

Ciao.
