KV Store process terminated abnormally
(exit code 100, status exited with
code 100). See mongod.log and
splunkd.log for details.

removing mongod.lock fix the problem but it is happening again . im wondering if there is another way to solve it

thanks !

hi @sarit_s,

Check the permission of mongo directory: $SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/kvstore/mongo/. You can change user and group to splunk.

chown -R splunk:splunk $SPLUNK_HOME

Change file permissions for splunk.key to 600.

chmod 600 $SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/kvstore/mongo/splunk.key
