Using the Splunk app for AWS we cannot get the get_instances.py script to run without throwing an error.
We keep getting the error saying "running_all is not defined"... How do we get this script to run successfully?
There are many things depending on this app working correctly, mainly the aws.conf file.
However if everything looks right, but you are still getting this error, then perform the following:
1 - There may be a typo in the script - search the script for "spleep" and change to read "sleep"
2 - Update the "boto" python libraries in the SplunkAppforAWS using the following commands (linux):
sudo yum install python-pip
sudo python-pip install boto --upgrade
3 - Search the get_instances.py script for the line that reads "running_all = ec2_conn.get_all_instances()
"
4 - Right above this line, enter the following. "running_all = []
"
Now your script should read as follows:
running_all = []
running_all = ec2_conn.get_all_instances
After all of this, restart splunk and you should be good.
