Solution
- There are multiple solutions depending on how you have configured the Splunk Enterprise instance AdminManager log channel.First, determine whether or not debug logging is on for the AdminManager log channel. You must log into the Splunk Enterprise instance as an admin user or equivalent to perform these actions. To determine the logging level for this log channel on the instance: 1. In a web browser, visit the Server Logging Settings page in Splunk Web at /en- US/manager/system/server/logger. 2. Review the Logging Level column on the page that loads. If the AdminManager row in this column shows DEBUG as the logging level, then the Splunk Enterprise AdminManager log channel is in debug mode. Otherwise, it is not in debug mode.See Enable debug logging for more information.If the previous steps determine that debug logging is enabled in that log channel, then remedy the problem by performing the following tasks: 1. Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to versions 9.3.1, 9.2.3, 9.1.6, or higher. 2. Delete the following log file on the Splunk Enterprise instance: $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log 3. Delete all the Splunk Enterprise log file events for the AdminManager component from the _internal index by running the following search command: index=_internal component=AdminManager | delete
