Splunk restart

sr_dhinesh — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:08:06 GMT

Splunk after restart does not respond: It says page cannot be displayed if refreshed,
After checking the services.msc it is stopped. I then start it, it works fine.
I am new to splunk, is this normal or is there any changes we need to do to figure this out?

In services.msc for the Splunk services (there should be two), you can set it to be "Automatic" under "Start-up Type". Additionally, what user are you running Splunk as? -does that user have the correct permissions.

You may want to check the Event Viewer, to see if there is any reason the services are not starting on boot, if the above setting is already applied.

Thank you for your response:
The option by default is in Automatic
I have admin rights on it. Also it is not at the boot time but everytime i install something and want to restart the splunk in web GUI, it is stuck there. I would have to manually start the services and it works fine

Hi @sr_dhinesh,

I have been facing the same issue ever since I changed Splunk to run as Domain account from local account.
Were you able to get around this issue eventually ? if yes, then please share your solution. Thanks
