My Indexer is receiving data from a Forwarder but also sending data to non Splunk device.
This external device became unreachable and, consequently, all the queues in my Indexer became blocked.
I mean, not just the tcpout_connections related the the device, but also all the aggqueue, indexqueue, parsingqueue. The tcpin_connections instead it was working fine, but a the end I couldn't see any data from my Search.
Is that the normal behavior ? I would expect Splunk to keep indexing even if it can't send data out, or, in other words, the two queue chains to be separated.
