Data Inputs > Event Log Collections > Permission Error after upgrade from Server 2019 to 2022

We had a Splunk Enterprise installation (9.2.0.1) on Windows Server 2019, and upgraded to Windows Server 2022 today.

Splunk is only set up  for local event log collection; events forwarded from other workstations.

The Windows subscription & forwarded events are working, but Splunk isn't ingesting newer logs since the inplace upgrade to Server 2022.

I can't seem to access Splunk's Event Log Collection settings since the upgrade either, and am met with a "Permission error".

I have restarted the server fully. Am tempted to re-install Splunk as well.

Any ideas?

 

Edit:

Running with free Splunk Enterprise license (<500MB / day ingestion).

Service is run with separate domain user service account.

Only used to ingest local event logs that have been forwarded from other workstations.

Can't see any other configuration which has changed.

index = applocker
