Subject: CIS controls app issues
Good day,
I wanted to contact you to inquire as to whether there is a common issue, which I believe to be experiencing with the CIS Critical Security Controls app. I am getting several errors when the python scripts in /bin try to fire off, as you can see in the screenshot:
I am running Splunk 6.5.2, and using your newest version of the app, freshly installed from Splunkbase.
Thanks!
Hi Travis,
Thank you very much for the outreach on this.
At first glance, it looks like the threat info/intel downloader scripts are all failing.
This most often occurs when the instance of python installed on the search head that the CIS app is installed on is located in a non-standard location.
As a first check:
Separately, I've created an action to update this aspect of the download scripts in the next iteration of the app to make it a little more robust. Unfortunately the next rev probably won't be ready to publish until the end of April/beginning of May 2017.
