Getting Data In

Is there a REST API for putting a Cluster Master into Maintenance mode?

I was just curious about this since I couldn't find anything on it in the following page:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.1/RESTREF/RESTcluster

Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

I originally wanted to test stuff with curl and ansible for putting the cluster master in maintenance-mode.

So I found a solution with Ansible from github so all credit goes to the link below:

  - name: "Put Splunk cluster into maintenance mode"
    command: /opt/splunk/bin/splunk enable maintenance-mode --answer-yes -auth "admin:vagrant"
    become: true
    become_user: splunk
    become_method: sudo
    changed_when: False
    ignore_errors: True
    no_log: True
    register: splunk_command_output

  - debug: msg="{{ splunk_command_output.stdout }}"
