Error while installing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Logging Addon

Hello,

When trying to install this from my Splunk Enterprise (In my Windows10 client) I'm getting:

Unable to initialize modular input "oci_logging" defined in the app "TA-oci-logging-addon": Introspecting scheme=oci_logging: script running failed (exited with code 1)..

Do you get it right after installing the addon or after you configure it? You should check _internal index for details but I suspect it might be one of those badly written addons which comes with inputs enabled by default so it's trying to run the input with no configuration and fails.

Thank you for you response,

I'm getting this error right after the installation is finished. I do see the Addon in the apps list but I can't see it in the Data Inputs section.

By the way, the installation took some time so I had to increase the splunkdConnectionTimeout in web.conf (It is also mentioned under the troubleshooting tab of the Addon)

Can you please add which version of the addon you're running?

Currently, the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Logging Addon needs to be installed on a Linux-based instance, a Windows client will result in the schema error.

Any luck after that with the error

Hi @yigaloz,

What helped me identify errors in the configuration of this addon was enabling debug logging by editing the file $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-oci-logging-addon/bin/oci_logging.py, changing the string ERROR to DEBUG on line 42. Then restart Splunk.

You can check the logs using the query:
index=_internal source=*oci_logging.log

Another possibility would be to install a previous version of the addon, which might work.
