Hi!
Splunk is installed on the server Windows 2008 R2. It indexes the events that collecting the Windows Event Log Collector. Some events Splunk can not display:
Message=Splunk could not get the description for this event. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupt.
FormatMessage error: The locale specific resource for the desired message is not present.
Event Viewer displays all of the events correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Things that show up in the EventViewer correctly should be available to the locally installed Splunk instance.

If you are sure that this specific message is completely visible in EventViewer, but not in Splunk, you should file a support case. There is no currently known bug that manifests itself like this.

Describe the OS version, Splunk version, what the source of the data is, i.e. which application/eventcode that work, and which don't.

Hope this helps,

K
