I received the below error. Now, none of the Splunk start or stop commands are responding. Please let us know how we will bring Splunk back to life.
03-01-2019 09:05:15.702 -0500 FATAL ProcessRunner - Unexpected EOF from process runner child!
03-01-2019 09:05:15.702 -0500 ERROR ProcessRunner - helper process seems to have died (child killed by signal 15: Terminated)!
The linux OOM (out-of-memory) killer probably killed the Splunk search process. You should run this command to see if the OOM killer is occuring:
dmesg -T| grep 'illed process'
If this returns results it means you don't have enough system memory for what you are trying to do.
All the best.
