splunk syndication input do not show

[pipipipi]

I want to monitor AWS service status using splunk.
So, I installed syndication input.

I set up RSS, and I can check this input is success.

index=_internal sourcetype= "syndication_modular_input"
return
"INFO Successfully retrieved feed entries, count=0" url ="****"

but, when I search sourcetype=syndication, there is no event.
(my sourcetype is default)

I do not know why I can see event in search.
Could you please help me?

[pipipipi]

Thank you for helping.

I set the source index.
but I can not see event.

I do not understand why my input is not index.....

Hi @pipipi,

Did you check in index=main ? Looking at the inputs of this app no index is defined for the input stanza, by default data will go to the default index.

You should change that to the desired index in yourapp/local/inputs.conf.

Cheers,
David

If you read the line : "INFO Successfully retrieved feed entries, count=0" url =""seems like there is no configured url. Have you tried setting this up ?

[pipipipi]

I did not write url because of question.
I'm sorry.
My splunk shows url.

Could you enable debugging and try this :

You should get more info about what's blocking the data.

My trouble is internet access.
I saw this question.
https://answers.splunk.com/answers/246725/use-a-proxy-server-for-internet-access.html

I wrote proxy in splunk-launch.conf, but I can not connect internet.

Hi @pipipi,

follow this tutorial, it will help :
https://blog.infusiontechsolutions.com/how-to-configure-splunk-to-use-a-web-proxy-server/

It's probably best to set up the proxy in /etc/init.d/splunk

# Proxy settings
http_proxy="http://proxy.domain.com:8080"
export http_proxy

That way its always up when Splunk boots on startup.

[pipipipi]

I did export and I can see event in splunk.
Thank you for helping me.

you are most welcome, please upvote and accept the answer 🙂

And don't forget to save your config in the startup script or the export won't be there after restart.

Cheers.
