Description
Index creation using default.yml is no longer working in splunk images > 9.0.7.
I'm running Splunk in Docker Desktop 4.27.2 on Windows 11.
The attached docker-compose and default files work perfectly in splunk 9.0.7
docker-compose.txt
default.txt
as can be seen from this log file:
splunkd.9.0.7.log
In 9.0.8 onwards the files in the various monitored folders are no longer picked up, i.e. they paths are listed in Settings -> Data Inputs -> Files & Directories, but the Number of Files is blank and the indices are not created at all.
Attached is a log from starting up the latest tag:
splunkd.latest.log

Research direction
Compare the attached docker-compose.txt and default.txt with splunkd.9.0.7.log and splunkd.latest.log, then reproduce the behavior in Splunk 9.0.7 and a later image. Trace why monitored paths show no files and indices are not created; done means index creation works again with the supplied configuration on affected images.
