Why is the latest event indexed 4 days ago when server logs show current data?

Hi,

I have an issue currently where the last event was 4 days ago. I have checked the server logs manually and I can see we have a lot that splunk can not see. I think the service accounts were changed to a new one and then back to their accounts which leads me to believe this is the cause of the issue I am facing now.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to look to start troubleshooting? Restarting the services has been done and I can confirm they have been put back to the original starting ones.

Cheers!

Actually I have just figured it out. Turns out the UNIVERSAL FORWARD service had been stopped. Restarted that and it's now working.

I should have also mentioned in my original post I had an UNIVERSAL FORWARD.
