Good morning, Let me tell you about my case. In my company, we have five indexers, one for development and the other four for production. We have an inputs.conf in a forwarder inside a Docker container python:3.11-slim-bullseye that has three stanzas that execute a script with arguments. One stanza sends the data to development and runs every two minutes, and the other two send the data to production, one running every minute and the other every two minutes. We have noticed that during a period of time last night, we did not receive any data from the forwarder. Regarding the development stanza, it's correct as the machine was being patched, and Splunk was stopped just during that period. We have observed that during those hours, the forwarder did not execute any scripts. During that time frame, we found these traces in the watchdog.log file of the forwarder: 02-05-2024 20:02:18.220 +0000 ERROR Watchdog - No response received from IMonitoredThread=0x7fabb87fec60 within 8000 ms. Looks like thread name='ExecProcessor' tid=1937852 is busy !? Starting to trace with 8000 ms interval. Could you please help me understand why the forwarder did not execute any scripts during that time frame? Thank you very much. Best regards.
