Monitoring Splunk

Need advice about missing Forwarders in Splunk. What planning or DR measures do I take to make sure data is not lost?

We have Network outages at times that make the FWs not available. I know that data can get quede up. But what if the outages is long & what does one do to make sure the SOC & IR have the latest data & events to work with?

Hi @SamHTexas,

As per my knowledge, if the data is from the file, then you no need to worry about the queue, Splunk will read from where it stopped. However, if the data is not from the file and it is generated data, then you need to increase the queue size to make the storage available to catch all the data during the forwarder offline.
