How to resolve "ERROR ExecProcessor...No such file or directory" error from a python script through a universal forwarder?

[andreac81]

Hi to all,
I installed on monitored server, by universal forwarding, an app that uses python script to load data about cpu, disk,..
The app contains a file table2event.py that start with:

#!/usr/bin/python

import time
import logging
import urllib2 as u
import os
import subprocess
import sys

global log

In splunkd.log I see several errors like

ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/ta-adapter/bin/table2event.py iostat.sh" /bin/sh: \r: No such file or directory 

How can I solve?
Thanks,
Andrea

Hi @andreac81,
I think the problem is your line ending characters. Your file was created or edited on a Windows system and uses Windows/DOS-style line endings (CR+LF), whereas Linux systems like Ubuntu require Unix-style line endings (LF).

There is a tool that can convert the two different styles for you called dos2unix.

Can you please try this?

Thanks

Hi!

Did you check the file permission? Also, have you tested if the script is working locally on the universal forwarder?

Thanks.
