Hi,
I've just installed the splunk-on-splunk app on our splunk deployment... A pretty small deployment that's single tier, i was under the impression the app came with premade dashboards for checking the health of ones deployment? Is this true? becuae when i select the app i am greeted by a blank screen and an invitation to start creating panels. Which i'd gladly do but i have zero reference on what kind stuff i'm going to query. In this case can someone point me in the right direction for a reference on how to query the sos db.
thanks
This is not normal. In all likelihood, there is an issue with the post-installation step that is supposed to put views back in place if the dependency on Sideview Utils is found to be fulfilled.
I would recommend to take the following steps:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/sos/default/data/ui/views
and manually rename every view file from *.bak
to *.xml
, then restart SplunkThis is not normal. In all likelihood, there is an issue with the post-installation step that is supposed to put views back in place if the dependency on Sideview Utils is found to be fulfilled.

When i looked in the dir i saw 0 views! so figured something must have gone wonky in the dl/copying. anyway its looking much healthier now...
I've check ownership and permissions on the scripts at the cli and alls good. any other ideas? I choose the lazy option this time and choose to install the app via the splunkweb interface where you can just upload the tarball... If it makes a difference.
Thanks!
It was permissions error... as i thought.. .i just had to change the perm of every file in the app.
