Check the Monitoring Console for the input's error details and then examine the splunkd.log for related messages.

Disable the input temporarily and re-enable it after a restart.

Increase the input's polling interval to reduce errors.

Delete the input and recreate it to reset the error state.

A Splunk admin needs to ingest data from a REST API that returns JSON. The API does not write to a file. Which input type should the admin use?

A TCP network input that receives data from the API.
