Hi,
I'm facing issue with data forwarding to splunk. i'm not sure where data being dropped and its happening randomly.
Details:
I have text (key-value pair) file with 6.5 million lines(events) with same timestamp (_time) configured.
but while ingesting file to splunk via Heavy forwarder, it automatically incrementing _time +1 sec for every 100k or 200k events randomly.
Observation:
if the _time +1 sec increment happens for every 100k events, then no issues data completely ingest to splunk.
if some times _time +1 sec increment happens for 200+k events, we are observing data drop, only 4 to 4.5 million events got ingested out of 6.5 million events.
splunk log giving this warning:
WARN DateParserVerbose - The same timestamp has been used for 500K consecutive times. If more than 200K events have the same timestamp, not all events may be retrieveable
Splunk Environment details:
Splunk Version: 7.2.6
OS: AWS Linux Machine
Could you please advice what is root cause of this issue and remedy for same.
Thanks In Advance !!!.
Mani
