I am running Splunk Enterprise on a Windows Server 2012 R2 and have installed both the Splunk Universal Forwarder 6.5.3 and 6.6.1on Windows 10 workstations. I have noticed that after about a week after being installed, the SplunkForwarder Service stops. When I try to start the service, it says that it cannot start because of a logon problem. I found that I have to open the service properties and re-enter the password for the account that it uses. Once I enter the password, I am able to start the service. I have noticed that this happens on a few workstations and sometimes when it is installed on a server. I installed the universal forwarder with using a domain service account. Any ideas? I have chosen to uninstall the UF to see if there was a problem with installation, but I have found that it still occurs.
