Why am I receiving Splunk cloud forwarder credential installation error?

[sivaecr]

Hello All,

Please, someone, help us with the below error.While trying to configure Splunk cloud forwarder credentials getting the error below.

bash #./splunk install app /root/splunkclouduf.spl -auth admin:changeme
Error during app install: failed to extract app from /root/splunkclouduf.spl to /opt/splunkforwarder/var/run/splunk/bundle_tmp/3e8b5bbee59bb4f5: No such file or directory

Thanks in advance!!!

But ideally WGET downloaded files should work, not sure why Splunk throws error! This saves time and effort of downloading and copying.

Can anyone suggest?

It seems very like a permission issue :

have a look at this doc

let me know if this helps!

Hi,

Thanks for your update.. We have checked the permission issue mentioned in the URL but still the same issue persist.. Is there any other solution for this issue?

Appreciate your quick reply ....
Thanks

Hello All,

Finally we found the issue ..We just copied the credential file URL wrongly and tried in the agent server using "wget" ..Now directly we downloaded the file in our local machine and moved to the agent server which makes the installation successful.

Thanks for everyone!!
