I have inherited a fairly undocumented splunk deployment which looks as follows (splunk 4.3.2):
Forwarders -> 2x Heavy Forwarders -> 3x Indexers -> Search Head
I have added an index to the Search Head via the web interface and installed two forwarders with an inputs.conf as below:
[monitor:////opt/tld/glassfish/domains/tldcs/logs/feedback.log]
sourcetype = tld_gameplay
index = tld_gameplay
[monitor:////home/tldcs/web/apps/cstools/log/production.log]
index = customer_service
[monitor:////opt/tld/glassfish/domains/tldcs/logs/server.log]
index = customer_service
[monitor:////opt/tld/glassfish/domains/tldcs/logs/services.log]
index = customer_service
The issue is that I am not seeing any events in the web interface.
How can I debug this? What information do you need from me, so that I can help you? How can I verify that data is, or is not, even being received by the heavy forwarder, and then the indexers?
I am unclear whether I need to "add" the index somewhere else other than via the web interface.
Thanks,
