Why is Splunk's web search not working but back end service is running?

Hi Splunkers,

We are facing an issue in in SH WEB. Sometimes, the web UI automatically goes down, but at the same time, we have checked the backed server and DMC console.In both locations we have status=up.

After some time it comes up automatically. Do we have any solution or recommendation for this issue ?

Thanks

RJ

Hi,

check your splunkd.log and web_service.log in /var/log/splunk

While facing this issue you can check the status of splunk to see if splunkweb is still running,

run ./splunk status splunkweb in $SPLUNK_HOME/splunk/bin
