Data Forwarding Issues

Issue-3: 
The Forwarder is not sending data
Scenario-1:
No logs are sent by forwarder, even internal logs
Root Cause: 
The forwarder is stopped due to a source server restart done by the Application team
Solution: 
Enable boot start for forwarder, this will make sure the Forwarder is also started, after the source server restarted.
In Linux: 
/opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk enable boot-start -user splunk
