I have a collection of log files (InDesign Server logs) that I'm indexing with the following inputs.conf settings:
[monitor:///path/to/files/*.log]
disabled = 0
crcSalt =
followTail = 0
host = myhost
index = myindex
Everything seems to be OK, but then after some interval, I start to see these messages in splunkd.log:
03-16-2012 15:42:08.152 -0400 INFO WatchedFile - Checksum for seekptr didn't match, will re-read entire file='/path/to/files/indesignserver.log'
It's causing many duplicate entries in my index as the same files keep getting re-indexed. Does anybody have any thoughts on why the seekptr checksum would fail?
