Splunk App for AWS: topology tsidx does not get created

[cmeo]

More of a comment for the developers since I've solved it.

The saved search Config: Topology Data Generator does not seem to get run at any point unless you do it manually, and until you do the Topology view doesn't populate. Does this step perhaps need to be included in the setup documentation, or is it supposed to run automatically somehow? There's no schedule for it so I don't see how, and tt isn't called by the dashboard as far as I can tell.

Hi,

Thank you for your comment !

The savedsearch in AWS App is non-scheduled at first place (which is a practice we need to follow). And you can enable it by any modifications of "AWS Config" on configuration page, then, the topology data will be generated by schedule automatically. It will run every 20 minutes.

For more information about it, please refer to http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AWS/4.0.0/Installation/Config

Thanks!
