Splunk Stream TA - Unable to ping server

[thetech]

Hello all,

I have a distributed environment containing the following:

• 3 x Search heads (1 captain)
• 4 x Indexers clustered
• 1 x dedicated linux server for Splunk Stream (UF + TA addon)
• 1 x deployment server
• 1x SHCD
• 1x CM

The problem I am having is that for unknown reasons the dedicated splunk stream server is now unable to ping the server with the splunk stream app.

This all was working but I fear I have made a config slip up somewhere.

The Splunk stream TA is deployed to the dedicated stream server from the deployment server and contains the following files/config

• inputs.conf
• streamfwdlog.conf

inputs.conf -

[streamfwd://streamfwd]
splunk_stream_app_location = https://<SERVER_IP>:8000/en-us/app/splunk_app_stream/
stream_forwarder_id =
disabled = 0

I am able to successfully navigate to the stream app location

• https://<SERVER_IP>:8000/en-us/app/splunk_app_stream/

But the streamfwd logs are showing the following error message

• stream.CaptureServer - Unable to ping server (d6e0ed72-789a-4044-95f7-7de95ddbb221): /en-us/app/splunk_app_stream/ping/ status=303
  

If I navigate to the same URL with "ping" appended then it returns a 404.

If you require any other info please let me know.

Regards

### Update - Resolved ###

Issue has been resolved.

All the inputs.conf files had the following URL configured:

• 8000/en-us/app/splunk_app_stream/

The Splunk Stream TA will try and append "ping" to the URL in the inputs.conf.

The appended ping only exists on the following URL

• 8000/en-us/custom/splunk_app_stream/

So the fix is to change the URL to en-us/custom/splunk_app_stream/  instead of en-us/app/splunk_app_stream/     in your TA inputs.conf

This really helped me fix my problem.

this should definitely go in the Splunk Stream docs. There are numerous additions required to the docs.
