Dear supports,
I use the OEM license, which means you can only usr the specific fixed prefix sourcetype "psc_".
I uploaded a csv file with default sourcetype, which I should use the sourcetype with prefix psc_.
After I uploaded this file, I got the Orphaned indexer alerts (1), the Message TEXT:
This slave indexed data/sourcetype(s) without a corresponding license pool
The Category is "orphan_slave".
I have delete all the csv data upload with default sourcetype. and delete sourcetype csv. But the alert still here.
How can I fix this alert?
Thanks!
Bright
I believe you got multiple issues
1. I assume you got a indexer cluster? if yes, then your indexer slaves are NOT connected to your license master via Cluster Master. This setup requires bit of reading if you are new to Splunk (or request PS support)
2. Did you write index-time settings for your new psc_ sourcetype?
Thanks for your reply!
1.I am just install a single Splunk instance. No cluster.
2.I could use the right sourcetype(with prefix psc_) successfully. In this problem, I just select the wrong sourcetype, and it generated an alert.
I think the alert is about the sourcetype, "sourcetype(s) without a corresponding license pool"
