We see the message INFO WatchedFile - Will begin reading at offset=313 for file xxxx
and the input file is exactly 313 characters and it was not indexed so far. We added crcSalt = <SOURCE>
and it didn't help.
How can we do to get this file to be indexed?
what does ./splunk list inputstatus
say for this input?
Sounds like we knew about the file and have the seekptr in the fishbucket. Maybe try and zap the fishbucket?
./splunk cmd btprobe -d /opt/splunkforwarder/var/lib/splunk/fishbucket/splunk_private_db --file /var/log/messages --reset
Are you sure we haven't indexed it? Have you searched all time?
Perfect. I searched all time...
I ran the command and got back -
Using logging configuration at /opt/splunk/splunkforwarder/etc/log-cmdline.cfg.
