Hello,
We are currently evaluating the Splunk App for WebSphere in our development environment. This environment contains 1 search head and 1 indexer.
Upon unpacking the application into /etc/apps and restarting Splunk I see the following errors on the command line:

Your indexes and inputs configurations are not internally consistent. For more information, run 'splunk btool check --debug'
Regex: subpattern name is too long (maximum 32 characters). Bad regex: (?i)0SECTION\s*(?P
Config problem: invalid regex: props.conf / [WebSphere:javacore] / EXTRACT-websphere_DumpRoutineSubComponents
One or more regexes in your configuration are not valid. For details, please see directly above.
I was trying to look through documentation to see if any of these attributes contained in the props.conf or transforms.conf had been deprecated that I may be able to comment out, but for a Splunk Supported app that I just installed, that's just way too many errors to ignore.
Any help / suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you
You have 3 issues:
1) The TRANSFORM messages are a known issue: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/WAS/latest/ReleaseNotes/Knownissues . In short: edit props.conf in the default directory and change all words TRANSFORM to TRANSFORMS. Then restart Splunk.
2) indexes and inputs configurations are not internally consistent: some apps contain indexes.conf, depending if you created an index while you started from some of those apps. If you upgraded to 6.1, move all entries from gettingstarted/local/indexes.conf to another app. Then restart Splunk.
3) Regex issue: also in default/props.conf, change the word websphere_DumpRoutineSubComponents (34 characters) to something smaller. It seems the field is not used in any search of the app and I guess you're not going to index javacore files. The field is probably some preparation for some search/view in the future.

Many thanks have made the changes, I like using the /gc just to confirm each change 1 by 1. Thanks!
The dot at the end of the url was the cause. I fixed the link. It brings you to the right location now.
In vi: %s/TRANSFORM/TRANSFORMS/g
Thank you for the response. I looked for known issues with your link it does not resolve properly.
I also looked through the official app answers page and didn't find any information, so I appreciate your post.
