Found this error message in my splunkd.log while rebuilding my indexes.
Is it serious ?

Please disregard this message, his severity is actually misleading, and will be fixed in future release.

As you can see it contains both a severity of ERROR and INFO :

  • This is initially an INFO message from the bloomfilter module telling that one bloomfilter file creation will be skipped because the bucket had no recent activity.
  • However the message is catch by the parent process that tags its as an ERROR.
