Splunk Search

Splunk search not returning results prior to ./splunk clean eventdata

As the title says, after cleaning the event data and reindexing, the splunk search doesn't return events prior to the clean. How can I change this?

Thanks

Hi wtian,

Splunk will keep track of once indexed files in the _fishbucket index. the command splunk clean eventdata does clean it, but if you forward your data using a universal forwarder Splunk still knows about that the data was already indexed. Therefore you must clean the _fishbucket index using the same command on the universal forwarder as well.

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
