Hi Team,

Using Splunk_TA_nix addon Version 8.4. While running below three scripts getting below Errors.  Customer is using Solaris 10 OS. 

Splunk_TA_nix/bin/vmstat_metric.sh" awk: record `HARD_DRIVES ssd2262 ...' too long
Splunk_TA_nix/bin/vmstat.sh" awk: record `HARD_DRIVES ssd1038 ...' too long
Splunk_TA_nix/bin/hardware.sh" awk: record `HARD_DRIVES ssd1038 ...' too long

upgraded Addon to the latest version 8.5, but after that below issue has been started and no data was ingested. 

Splunk_TA_nix/bin/uptime.sh: $(dirname /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_nix/bin/uptime.sh)/common.sh: not found
Splunk_TA_nix/bin/cpu_metric.sh: $(dirname /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_nix/bin/cpu_metric.sh)/common.sh: not found

So to solve, rollback Addon to version 8.4 but again awk: record `HARD_DRIVES ssd1038 error started.
Can anyone help to solve this issue.

Hi @maharshidave . Were you able to resolve this issue? I'm getting the same error as you got after upgrading to 8.5.

Splunk_TA_nix/bin/uptime.sh: $(dirname /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_nix/bin/uptime.sh)/common.sh: not found
Splunk_TA_nix/bin/cpu_metric.sh: $(dirname /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_nix/bin/cpu_metric.sh)/common.sh: not found

Please share your solution if you were able to resolve it.

Thanks!
