I'm trying to install the Compuware GPN add-on and the README says it requires spuds.

Where do I get and how do I install spuds for RHel?

Hello @dwillsey,

I am the author of the Compuware GPN add-on. Not sure what SPUDS is, but I think mean suds. You don't need to worry about suds as it is already included in the bin directory as an egg (suds-0.4-py2.6.egg). If you would like to update the version of SUDS simply create new suds egg and replace the old version. The details page in app.splunk.com is just the readme in the git repo. https://github.com/Nordstrom/compuware_apm_gpn

The egg is injected during runtime into the python run path using the the following code:

try:
    from suds.client import Client
    from suds import WebFault
except Exception:
    egg_dir = SPLUNK_HOME + "/etc/apps/compuware_apm_gpn/bin/"
    for filename in os.listdir(egg_dir):
        if filename.endswith(".egg"):
            sys.path.append(egg_dir + filename)
    from suds.client import Client
    from suds import WebFault

This probably more info that you need but I hope this helps. Cheers.

When I add a comment and click Submit, most of the time nothing happens.

When I try to comment from work and click submit, I don't get any errors. Am I supposed to get pop ups from the moderator?

Hi @dwillsey - You should be seeing a banner up top that says your post is being moderated. But I will report this since we've been dealing with a bug related to this. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂

The Splunk Answers site and its features should be accessible on all major browsers.

But I am unclear by what you mean, since you just posted a comment. Can you clarify?

Or are you referring to the comment ("Do I need to do something to set up the environment...") you tried to post above numerous times? Being a moderator, I was able to see that you tried to post that same comment numerous times within an hour because you may have thought it did not go through. If that was the case, were you not able to see a message/banner saying that your comment is awaiting approval from a moderator?

Or did you see that your comment went through, but upon refresh of the page, your comment disappeared; thus causing you to try to repost your comment numerous times?

Do I need to do something to set up the environment?

Hi @dwillsey - Just so you know, your comments likely got caught in our site's spam filter (likely due to a combination of punctuation and repeated words in your comment). You should have gotten a message about it needing approval from a moderator prior to being posted.

If you did (A) not receive such a message or (B) saw that your comment went through successfully but upon refresh, the comment disappeared; please let me know as we are tracking a bug related to this issue.

Also, I've wrapped your log message in a sample code, just to make it easier to read. Thanks.

you can not run the modular input this way. This need to be ran using splunk's internal python. $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd python $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/compuware_apm_gpn/bin.
