Splunk Add-on for Java Management Extensions ExecProcessor errors- How to fix?

[justynap_ldz]

Hello,

We have noticed the following errors comming from our Search Heads from Splunk_TA_jmx:
ERROR ExecProcessor [57556 ExecProcessor] - message from "/opt/splunk/bin/python3.7 /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_jmx/bin/jmx.py" File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_jmx/lib/solnlib/conf_manager.py", line 459, in get_conf

Input is configured on Heavy Forwarder and works finee, but as in https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/JMX/Hardwareandsoftwarerequirements we have installed the addon also on Search Heads and we're not sure sure what to adjust/change.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get rid of these errors?

Greetings,
Justyna

As per the error(splunklib.binding.HTTPError: HTTP 404 Not Found -- jmx_tasks does not exist).

So make sure you successfully configured inputs with JVM / JAVA Beans. Check in the addon's local folder whether configured inputs are created or not. Just search for jmx_tasks.conf file.  You will get the idea.

Installation Guide.
The Addon should installed in Heavy Forwarders and need to configure inputs as per your requirements. 

For Search Heads & Indexers, just install it (for parsing and extraction purposes), no need to configure any inputs

I hope this will help you.

Thanks

Hi @kamlesh_vaghela, thanks for replying!
We have not configured any inputs on SearchHeads and Indexers, but your comment just reminded me about https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/Overview/Distributedinstall
We have deleted default inputs.conf and inputs.conf.spec from Splunk_TA_jmx on SHs and the errors are gone!
Thank you 🙂
