I am trying to configure a universal forwarder and a splunk enterprise as a reciever on 2 different windows7 machines. Following are my .conf settings.
On Forwarder (inputs.conf) -
[default]
host = XXX
[monitor://D:\SplunkDat\xx*.log]
_TCP_ROUTING = xxx.xx.x.224
disabled = false
followtail = 0
sourcetype=iis
On Forwarder (ouputs.conf) -
[tcpout]
defaultGroup = default-autolb-group
[tcpout:default-autolb-group]
server = xxx.xx.x.224:9997
[tcpout-server://xxx.xx.x.224:9997]
On Reciever (inputs.conf) -
[splunktcp://9997]
disabled = 0
But I am getting the following error in reciever's splunkd.log
ERROR TcpInputProc - Received unexpected 369295360 byte message (Invalid payload_size=369295360 received while in parseState=1)! from src=xxx.xx.17.16:49709
I am able to do telnet from forwarder to reciever on port 9997.
Could anyone give me an idea about what could be the problem here ?
sendCookedData=true in outputs.conf
Hi guys,
I've had this problem twice (and forgot the solution as well). I thought I would post the answer for next time I have the same 🙂
It is to do with the deployment server, so when you setup the deploy poll functionality:
splunk set deploy-poll <host>:<port>
Make sure the port is the management port on the server (default is 8089) not the receiver listening port (default 9997). Check this in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/deployment-client.conf.
The forwarder still goes to 9997 (or whatever the port you have set the receiver to):
splunk add forward-server <host>:<port> -auth <username>:<password>
This fixes it for me so I hope it helps.
Thanks,
Gethyn
I have the same issue. Can anyone post answer for it. Thank you in advance. I am running splunk 6.x
