Splunk broken? _admin view error

j666gak — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 15:06:47 GMT

Hello,

For some reason all of a sudden I keep seeing a page displaying the following error. I have not made any changes. I get the error when I click on the Manager or Administrator links at the top of every page in Splunk, and get the same when trying to access it from any app.

I can not find anywhere how to fix this, would really appreciate any help. Thanks

404 Not Found

Return to Splunk home page

Splunk cannot find the "_admin" view.

This page was linked to from http://localhost:81/en-US/app/launcher/home.

What version of Splunk? Running on what platform? What account does Splunk run as (root, not root, admin, etc)?

Could you at some point have used a root account to start/stop/edit files in Splunk?

It was access problem at the backend on the path $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/default/data/ on our Search Head. The splunk user did not have execute permission.
On adding, you will be able to access the UI properly
