Monitoring Console Health Check does not run

harishbabum — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 19:50:16 GMT

I am trying to run the Health check on the DMC.
Health check dashboard loads fine from the checklist.conf as per the default and local directory. Our splunk version is 9.3.0.
After clicking the start button it gets stuck at 0%. can i know what could be this issue?

Does it run anything if you select individual category instead of all categories? If its running with fewer categories it could an issue related to load on the DMC to run all categories at once.

We had a similar kinda bug in the previous 8.2 versions but not on V9 as I see on my side.

Thank you fro the quick reply.
It does not seem to run with individual category as well.

Should we consider update health checks which take me to the Splunk Health Assistant Add-on which is archived?

I don't see an issue on my lab with the same version.

The only reason I could think of is make sure there are no "unconfigured instances" on your monitoring console. Make sure you set this and apply changes as per this doc.

Hope this helps and resolves.

I have the following setting in splunk_monitoring_console_assets.conf at location /etc/apps/splunk_monitoring_console/local/
[settings]
disabled = 0
I have same setting on the DMC, SH and indexers. everything works except DMC.

I have the following roles for the DMC. Should any other roles to be enabled.

I believe there is something wrong on your DMC set up. Please only enable Distributed Mode on the monitoring console instead of search head and indexers.

You can also try creating new health check item with some query and see if that works.

I would encourage you to open a support case or on ondemand request.
