I'll open a case with Splunk and hopefully they can troubleshoot.</P> Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:53:34 GMT joshd 2011-11-16T22:53:34Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109212#M183506 <P>Is there a good Unixy way to check "is splunkweb running" and "is splunkd running"? I want to run a cronjob that checks if they are running and, if not, runs splunk restart automatically.</P> Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:37:34 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109212#M183506 jeffoptimizely 2011-11-16T21:37:34Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109213#M183507 <P>Asking the question twice isn't always the best practice...</P> <P>Same answer as I put in your other post:</P> <P>Do you want to check if it's running or responsive? Those are two different things...</P> <P>If it's running just write a quick script to grab the PIDs from $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/splunkd.pid and make sure there's two instances running or if there's no file then that also means its down.</P> <P>May also wish to include in your script a simple wget call to make sure the login page is returned, just to verify it's responding to requests while it's running.</P> Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:58:24 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109213#M183507 joshd 2011-11-16T21:58:24Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109214#M183508 <P>I didn't think it posted the first time, since I wasn't logged in. Feel free to delete one.</P> <P>Thanks, I didn't know about the PID files. I will likely use those.</P> Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:40:24 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109214#M183508 jeffoptimizely 2011-11-16T22:40:24Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109215#M183509 <P>Seriously, there's something wrong with the user interface of Splunk Base. It just happened to me again.</P> <P>When you answer a question but aren't logged in, you do the following:<BR /> 1. Answer question<BR /> 2. Log in<BR /> 3. The website takes you back to where you were before, but doesn't notify you that your question or answer was posted. Therefore, you think you have to do it again.</P> Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:41:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109215#M183509 jeffoptimizely 2011-11-16T22:41:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/How-can-you-check-if-the-splunkweb-and-splunkd-process-are/m-p/109216#M183510 <P>yeah I've noticed that behavior as well..
