A Splunk Cloud admin is troubleshooting an issue where a specific data input is not being indexed. The admin has verified that the input is configured correctly and the forwarder is sending data. The admin suspects that the data is being dropped during parsing. Which approach should the admin take to identify the cause of the parsing failure?

Review the _audit index for authentication failures

Restart the forwarder to reset its state

Review the _internal index for parsing errors related to that input

Check the Inputs dashboard in the Monitoring Console for the status of that input
