Can't access splunk web remotely

tprzelom — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 13:21:38 GMT

I've got RHEL 6 with the splunk server installed on VM one.
XP sp2 on VM two.

The devices are able to ping each other.
A splunk status shows all the splunk services running.
I dont see anything suspicious in /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/web_service.log

I've run a netstat -e and confirmed the server is listening on port 8000.
From the windows vm i am unable to telnet on port 8000 which should establish a connection and confirm the service.

I'm using firefox 3.6 on the windows vm.
Im using the default web.conf file on the splunk server.
I've also tried different ports and enabling SSL.

please help,
t

I figured it out.

Needed an iptable entry to allow port 8000 connections
