@richgalloway The time it stops is unknown at this time, I get alerted when logs stop being collected on a daily basis. Its a syslog server so a lot of files, 20 - 40 files depending on activity. ulimit is set at 0.

Has anyone run into an issue where a Splunk HF, is not monioring files being written to it. This HF is also a syslog server so files are being written to it and the monirotied inputs are on the server. The file ingestion happens after a restart. Any pointers?

@PickleRick Thank you for doing some additional testing and validation. I'll need to kick this up the flag pole to get the fix implemented. Kind of sucks that there are more then one way that Splunk reads time. I would think you would want to go off index time for everything and then change the time zone based off the users location. i know there are other variables like time zone of the log source. Thanks for all of the back and forth.

@PickleRick Correct no delay in indexing. The raw log is in UTC, but because there is not timezone follower, the search head is interpreting it as EST. Indextime is the correct time of the event, so wouldn't that indicatie that the event is being indexed at the right time, and the search head is miss interrupting the based on the props.conf. So there is no why to change the historical events from what you are telling. Would a better fix be change the format in the logs from the original source. How would I accomplish this. The indexers do not have any custom props deployed from the sourcetype, unless I am missing something? Data for this log is ingested from a UF that monitors a file directory. "The proper solution (but applying only to newly ingested events) is to set a proper timezone for this source/sourcetype/host on the ingesting component (first HF or Indexer that's receiving and parsing data)."

@PickleRick So is the change that needs to made on the indexing side or would a change in the log format be the best route. The Event is being indexed at the right time but since the is no time zone specified in the logs ie. 2021-11-22 08:35:55 versus 2021-11-22:08:35:55 -0500, event time is showing as 08 AM EST when it is indexed at 08 AM UTC. _time = 2021-11-22 08:38:18 IndexTime = 11/22/2021 03:38:49 index = index diff = 0 Search used: index=index | rename _indextime as IndexTime | eval diff=IndexTime-_time | convert ctime(IndexTime) as IndexTime | eval diff=if(diff < 0, "0", diff) | table _time IndexTime diff index

I am trying to correlate 2 different logs one is in EST and the is in UTC. The UTC logs, I have tried to specific the time zone as UTC in props and then let my user timezone preference do the conversion. Props was only updated on the search head. [soucretype] TZ = UTC This does not seem to work and i have read different post saying that updating the props file should work but not for historical events. Is there a way to do this indexed events?

@PickleRick Agreed, the UI is correct, I can't post screenshots. I have open a support ticket with Splunk. Thank you for validating that there is a difference. I'll keep this post updated as I here back from Support.

@PickleRick All of the time information is being parsed correctly, it is simply not so simply different on the _time field from the Web UI to the exported csv. Web UI _time is showing: 2021-11-19T11:34:02.000-05:00 CSV Export _time is showing: 2021-11-19T11:34:02.000+0000 I never noticed the difference before today but for users that don't log into Splunk, they are assuming that the CSV _time is in UTC, so they are converting this to EST which puts this event at 630 in the morning, which is not correct.

When I test the regex in both regex101 and using the rex command in the search bar and they parsed out the fields correctly.

@richgalloway We are starting to see data ingested in real from the log. No changes made in either the application nor the conf file. Before posting this question we did restart the forwarder but we were not seeing the logs ingested. Next I need to work on the Regex to help parse the fields but I can open a separate question for that. Thank you for your help.

The file is being monitored by a UF, The problem is after the initial log is ingested, if anything additional is written to the log it does not ingest that. The log source itself does not roll after a certain size, and i am told that file does not get that big, as the service is restart monthly for maintenance. I'm not seeing any errors in the logs, but i also might be looking for the wrong thing. - Any tips/advice here?
