Report Capture app for Splunk: Exception capturing page: Output file missing post-capture (incorrect http/https setting?)

MuS — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 02:08:43 GMT

Hi there,

I'm trying to get this app https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4132/ version 0.8.6 working.

After starting the app and selecting a report to capture:

I get the following error message:

Oops, something went wrong!


The following error-messages were found: 
Failed to create report-capture:
Exception capturing page:
Output file missing post-capture (incorrect http/https setting?)

here are the current local/repcap.conf settings:

[repcap]
# Logging level (info/warn/error/debug)
# Note: Unless really required, leave at debug
loglevel = debug

# Connection protocol (http or https)
# Note: This should match your Splunk server mode, or expect failures
conn_proto = https
conn_host = <myServerIPHere>
rest_scripted_enabled = true

This is the log file while trying the capture:

I can see that it tell me the resource failed to load:

[debug] [phantom] Navigation requested: url=https://IP:8000/app/repcap/report?s=XXX - Monthly Graphs - License, type=Other, willNavigate=true, isMainFrame=true
[warning] [phantom] Loading resource failed with status=fail: https://IP:8000/app/repcap/report?s=XXX - Monthly Graphs - License

But the server is on https, running on port 8000, the report exists, and is readable for the user smart-pdf.

Any idea what could be the problem here?

Thanks, MuS

Mus,

did you find the solution?

Nope,

I'm working on another app that will achieve the same, so watch this space 😉

cheers, MuS

Hi MuS,

I think the issue for you may be that the connection host setting should be 127.0.0.1, not the externally accessible IP of the server.

However I still get issues with this application missing panels and generally not working very well with pdfs. I am curious if you had made any progress on your take on this concept? I would love to beta test anything you've been developing as this functionality has become a growing need in our organization. I'm curious if you could share anything at this time. Thanks for your consideration!

Could you tell me please what is the name of this other app ?

Thanks 🙂
