A Splunk administrator notices that data from a specific forwarder is missing from the index. The forwarder is running and shows no errors in its own logs. What should the administrator check first to diagnose the issue?

Restart the forwarder to force it to re-read the inputs.conf file.

Check the inputs.conf on the forwarder to ensure the input is configured correctly.

Verify that the forwarder can reach the indexer and that the indexer is accepting data on the configured port.

Check the indexer's license usage to see if it has exceeded its quota.
