Splunk Add-on for Cisco UCS is not collecting data

Jaslin2402 — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 21:00:41 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I have installed the Splunk Add-on for Cisco UCS Manager and configured the managers, template and task as mentioned in the Splunk documentation, however there is no data collecting at Splunk side. I'm using Splunk version:7.0.1 and Cisco UCS Add-on version: 2.0.3. The error message is mentioned below.

Error:
2018-08-21 15:33:55,569 ERROR 139727937750784 - Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_cisco-ucs/bin/ta_util2/thread_pool.py", line 180, in run job() File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_cisco-ucs/bin/cisco_ucs_job_factory.py", line 26, in call_ results = self._func() File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_cisco-ucs/bin/cisco_ucs_data_loader.py", line 90, in collect_data self._connect_to_ucs() File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_cisco-ucs/bin/cisco_ucs_data_loader.py", line 206, in _connect_to_ucs raise Exception(msg) Exception: Failed to get cookie for xxxxdc2sapsfi01.ent.xxxxxx.net, errcode=551, reason=Authentication failed

I have also tried pulling data from UCS manager with exactly the same configuration for different environment with Splunk version 6.6 and Cisco UCS add-on version 2.0.2, and I'm able to load the data to Splunk.

Please help me with this issue.

Thanks

@Jaslin2402,

Can you please check "SSL details" configurations?

SSL details must be configured in configuration files.

To collect data from a Cisco UCS Manager using an HTTP connection, set the manager's disable_ssl_verification to true in your cisco_ucs_servers.conf file. Find it at $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_cisco-ucs/local/cisco_ucs_servers.conf. To collect data from a Cisco UCS Manager using an SSL connection with a self-signed certificate, add the certificate's value in your cacerts.txt file. It is at $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_Cisco_ucs/bin/ta_util2/httplib2/.

Refer the following link for more info: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/CiscoUCS/Configureinputs#Set_SSL_details

We hade a same issues because the collection user had a special character within the password. Seems to be the TA wasn't able to handle that.
