Deployment Monitor Backfill for Windows

Jodge — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:50:12 GMT

Has anyone noticed how the Deployment Monitor Backfill doesn't work in Windows?

Although in a perfect world Windows may not be so prevalent but it's a presence in all our lives.

Trying to re-write the scripts for Windows now.

Jodge, it works fine for me. Is your Indexer windows? Can you provide additional details?

Yes, it's windows. The backfill scripts are all .sh -- so re-wrote them as a batch files. It took hours and hours to run. In the end it's probably quicker just to splunk on the internal indexes for the amount of uses it gets.

Yes, the backfill function in Deployment Monitor assumes you run Linux or some Unix version for your Indexer or indexers. I am surprised buy, this. You should share your batch files with the community.

Hi Gekoner, Would gladly share batch files, (especially as learnt how to do it from the WebIntelligence backup batch files). This would be a first time with Splunk, so where should one post the scripts? Could just paste them into here?

yes, I'd do just that. Splunk is trying to get the Answers forum to be the default place where Splunk users/admins can find answers. There is a handy 'code sample' button you can use to highlight the code sections. I'm sure Splunk support will be most appreciative, as well as future users.

There are three batch files to match the .sh & python scripts provided to backfill those provided with the Deployment Monitor app. They reside in $SPLUNK_HOME\bin and are run from the command line as:

DM_backfill_summary_indexes_windows.bat ..or..
DM_flush_and_backfill_summary_indexes_windows.bat

The source is as follows: -

"DM_backfill_summary_indexes_windows.bat"

@echo off 
rem call this script with %1 as username and %2 as password

setlocal

set splunkBin="C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin"

if (%1)==() goto Error
