Client's F5 Load Balancer is writing data to our Splunk Syslog Heavy Forwarder, but when searching in Splunk Search Head the data is incomplete/missing. Did a packet capture (tcpdump) on Syslog server from the F5 Load Balancer and copied the syslog-ng for the F5 host. Assumption is the Syslog server is receiving all the syslog messages sent from the F5 host, but syslog-ng is not writing all of them to file. In the packet capture, the Syslog server received 800+ syslog messages, but only wrote 68 syslog messages to file. Any suggestion as to why this is happening? Or any suggestion how to torubleshoot this issue?
