VMware Carbon black cloud '__cbc_version__' is not defined

mich — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 09:21:46 GMT

I am trying to connect my carbon black cloud to Splunk.

I installed the prerequisite Splunk Common Information Model.

But when I am trying to test the Api token, I get an error:

ERROR log_level=ERROR exception='name '__cbc_version__' is not defined' exception_type='<class 'NameError'>' filename='vmware_cbc_api_test_conn.py' exception_line='468' args='name

'__cbc_version__' is not defined'

Hoping to your prompt reply!

Hi @mich

This sounds like a Python issue within the app rather than something we would be able to help resolve unfortunately. Please contact the app developers by email: cb-developer-network@vmware.com and they can hopefully help you.

Please remember to let them know the App version and Splunk version you are using.

Hello!

1. What version of Splunk are you using (Cloud or Enterprise and version number), and what version of the App?

2. Do you have multiple apps installed? TA/App/IA ?

These will help pin point the issue. This is a Python import error, but the files should all be there.

In the latest version, that variable is only found in "bin/vmware_cbc_api_test_conn.py", which tests the connection to VMWare CBC. That variable is in turn imported from "lib/cbc_sdk/__init__.py".
This tells me there is a possible library import issue. Note: Only 1 (ONE) of TA/App/IA should be installed on a server. Do not install TA and IA, the IA contains all the TA information.
