Getting Data In

How to troubleshoot why data is only getting indexed in Splunk for 1 hour every day with no interval specified in inputs.conf?

Hi,

We have an issue with Splunk getting data into indexes. We are getting data only during one hour (12.00 AM to 12.59 AM) every day. We have not specified any interval though in inputs.conf.

Can you please advise why it is restricting indexing to this one hour?

Please note that we have data in log files, verified our Universal forwarders side.

Thanks

Hello Splunk9999, sorry for the confusion, I meant the actual log file you are monitoring.

Can you see the index time?
・・・| eval indextime=strftime(_indextime,"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")|table _time indextime

Or format of this log can be confirmed?

Can you post a few log samples? Have you tried searching for a known missing log over all time? In the future? (earliest=now latest=+1mon)

Could you post your inputs.conf configuration? Do you see on Data Summary the data is being indexed?

Hi Below is in inputs.conf.

[monitor:///inpu/server*/logs/ca/data/]
disabled = 0
sourcetype = app:fp__ca
index = imdc_a

yes, we could see in datasummary the data is available from 12.00 AM to 12.59 AM.

Thanks
Sarath
