Getting errors messages Health Check: msg="A script exited abnormally with exit status:1" input="../configuration_chekc.py" after upgrading from Splunk Enterprise Security 5.1.1 to 6.1.0

schandrasekar — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 05:09:27 GMT

We have upgraded Splunk Enterprise recently to 8.0.2.1 and all the apps in our environment to the latest version. One of them is the Splunk Enterprise Security app to 6.1.0. We started receiving errors messages as "Health Check: msg="A script exited abnormally with exit status:1" input="opt/splunk/etc/apps/SA-Utils/bin/configuration_check.py stanza="configuration_check://confcheck_escorrelationmigration" .
Similar errors are popping for all the input stanzas in SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite configuration_check://

Hi @schandrasekar, in Splunk 8.0 more items have been added to warning/error alerts, check to make sure you don't leave everything active as it could be overwhelming.
Also could you please have a look in your internal logs and share additional errors related to this issue ?

Hi. Did you find out why you are getting these error messages? We too are getting a lot of errors related to "authentication exception when executing configuration check" and "[HTTP 401] Client is not authenticated" from the configuration_check.py. We can't figure out why.

Hi, I am also facing the same issue post Splunk upgrade, is there any solution..

Health Check: msg="A script exited abnormally with exit status: 1" input="./opt/splunk/etc/apps/duo_splunkapp/bin/duo_input.py" stanza="duo_input://PureConnectCloud Splunk Logs"

Re: Getting errors messages Health Check: msg="A script exited abnormally with exit status:1" input="../c

hettervik — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 10:00:37 GMT

In your case the error message seems to be linked to a specific script, in a specific stanza, in a specific app. I would look into that particular input script, "duo_input.py". Perhaps it's using unsupported Python 2 (as opposed to Python 3)?

kkrises — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 11:23:16 GMT

@sruthimadhu Two questions :

Share your Splunk versions - previous and updated.
What is the version of duo_splunk app in use and the monitoring stanza content for duo_input://PureConnectCloud Splunk Logs".

The error clearly pointing out that there is an issue in executing your monitoring input stanza PureConnectCloud.

Refer this from Splunk.

sruthimadhu — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 12:18:46 GMT

@kkrises Splunk versions - previous 7.2.1 and updated 8.2.6

And Duo connector app previous 1.1.2 and updated 1.1.9

Stanza consists of inputs

[duo_input://PureConnectCloud Splunk Logs]
api_host = api-XXXXXXX
host = duo_XX_XXX
ikey = XXXXXXXXXX
index = duo
interval = 600
skey = XXXXXXXXXXX
sourcetype = json
source = duo

We are using python 3.7 and multiple python versions are installed on the server, but in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local we set python.version = force_python3
