Hi Splunkers,
Please help in resolving the following issue.
We have a lot of folder monitoring from syslog server. Each folder contains logs from some of device divided by dates.
One of this logs may have long term pauses in indexing - up to 5 hours. After it starts indexing again the data for previous period is never updated so we have gaps.
File size is on average 3-4 Gb daily.
In logs I see INFO messages with information that the file has been read:
metrics.log
