Error while installing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Logging Addon
Hello,
When trying to install this from my Splunk Enterprise (In my Windows10 client) I'm getting:
Unable to initialize modular input "oci_logging" defined in the app "TA-oci-logging-addon": Introspecting scheme=oci_logging: script running failed (exited with code 1)..

Hi @yigaloz,
What helped me identify errors in the configuration of this addon was enabling debug logging by editing the file $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-oci-logging-addon/bin/oci_logging.py, changing the string ERROR to DEBUG on line 42. Then restart Splunk.
You can check the logs using the query:
index=_internal source=*oci_logging.log
Another possibility would be to install a previous version of the addon, which might work.

Currently, the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Logging Addon needs to be installed on a Linux-based instance, a Windows client will result in the schema error.

Can you please add which version of the addon you're running?

Do you get it right after installing the addon or after you configure it? You should check _internal index for details but I suspect it might be one of those badly written addons which comes with inputs enabled by default so it's trying to run the input with no configuration and fails.

Thank you for you response,
I'm getting this error right after the installation is finished. I do see the Addon in the apps list but I can't see it in the Data Inputs section.
By the way, the installation took some time so I had to increase the splunkdConnectionTimeout in web.conf (It is also mentioned under the troubleshooting tab of the Addon)
