H @vinodrayedi,
have you other TAs as e.g. Splunk TA Windows?
You can debug this problem using btool
in $SPLUNK_HOME/bin run ./splunk cmd btool inputs list --debug > my_inputs.txt and reading the txt file.
for more infos see at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.1/Troubleshooting/Usebtooltotroubleshootconfigurati...

Ciao.
Giuseppe
