Hi,
we are using version 1.2.4 on Splunk 7.3.7, and we noticed our interval setting of (interval=600 / 10 mins) is not being obeyed. We can see when it does make a successful connection and pull the logs, we see at the start of the connection "HTTP connection pooling" in the logs. However, what we see subsequently are continuous connections every minute or so. We tried a splunk restart to see if this made a difference but it hasn't changed it's behaviour. So now we see connections from every 30-40 mins or longer.
Below is an example of the logs:

thanks
Hi there, nope we still have the issue. Sometimes it obeys the interval, but it tend to pull in logs at random intervals. We had to write a simple alert to notify us if we don't see any logs after 4 hrs. We still see the continuous connections every minute or so.
What is your query window size and delay throttle set at? We had ours at 30 minutes delay throttle and 30 minutes query window size and were seeing drop off of logs every night around 10 pm - midnight.
Over the weekend I updated our config settings to be delay throttle 30 minutes and query window size 60 minutes and it hasn't dropped off for 2 days. Hoping this is a longer term fix, but not holding my breath just yet.
Our query size window is set to 10, and delay throttle of 5.
However, below are the actual times data was pulled into Splunk:
08/07/2021/05:58:56 |
08/07/2021/04:48:29 |
08/07/2021/04:32:54 |
08/07/2021/02:58:49 |
08/07/2021/01:50:45 |
08/07/2021/00:18:25 |
We are seeing the same thing, did you ever find a solution for this?
