Hello,

we are trying to get elastic search data in Splunk.

Apps we are using:
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4175/

we are getting following errors

10-29-2019 12:46:32.869 +0100 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /hp737srv2/apps/splunk/etc/apps/TA-elasticsearch-data-integrator---modular-input/bin/elasticsearch_json.py" AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'

Configuration (inputs.conf):

[elasticsearch_json://test1]
date_field_name = timestamp
elasticsearch_indice = *
elasticsearch_instance_url = http://hp707srv:10000
index = mlc_test
interval = 60
lower_or_equal = now
use_ssl = 0
port = 10000
disabled = 0

We are using same URL in Grafana and its working fine.

Thanks

Hi,

Please share more error logs from the app.

The error message in not related to any URL, it is just python error on null variable value.
By investigating further, I'm able track it back to some CA certificate path related values are null.

opt_ca_certs_path = helper.get_arg('ca_certs_path')
opt_ca_certs_path = opt_ca_certs_path.strip()

If you are aware any configuration related to CA Certificates, that might solve your issue.
Otherwise please share some more error logs.
