We performed renames on several servers and am seeing them all show with a weird issue. It seems that there are still lingering traces of the old server name. I have searched adn ready, however, no luck with my specific situation. Thanks!

Error Example:

Got the following information from this event:

Check the files in $SPLUNK_HOME\etc\system\local on the forwarder -- the old hostname is probably still present in one of the config files. Check server.conf and inputs.conf in particular.
