Hi splunkers,

I recently found a problem while logging in on one of my splunk instances.
Everything is ok with my Search Head, but logging in on the indexers is results in the error : ssl_error_rx_record_too_long

This logging was OK last week.

Any idea where I can find any logs (where is http server conf and log), or why I Get this error?

Alternatively, anybody can help me to find the file where https is enabled, so I Could disable it to let me log in on my indexer, then reenable it ?

Thank you.

Olivier.

Closed : Thank's for yours anwsers, I change the web.conf file to have http access, then https and everything is OK now.

Bye.

Https config is in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/web.conf and you can find out logs in $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/
