(401 Unauthorized Exception)Unable to send query using java SDK

[madhuinfy]

Hi,
I am connecting splunk with java sdk and trying to send a query. Its getting connected but when i am trying to send a query it behaves weirdly .Some time it gives the result but some times it gives com.splunk.HttpException: HTTP 401 -- call not properly authenticated.
The same query executes fine but most of the time it gives the above exception. I am unable to proceed further due to the above issue. Kindly help me out. Please find the below code.
ServiceArgs loginArgs = new ServiceArgs();
loginArgs.setUsername("username");
loginArgs.setPassword("password");
loginArgs.setHost("hostname");
loginArgs.setPort(8089);
Service service = Service.connect(loginArgs);
System.out.println("Connected");
String searchQuery_normal ="search index=app sourcetype=tomcat_access host=\"cglita*\" (source=\"/var/opt/tomcat/logs/saelHDcomNavAndSearchWebService/access.log\" OR source=\"/var/opt/tomcat/logs/saelHDcomProductDataWebService/access.log\" OR source=\"/var/opt/tomcat/logs/saelOnlineStoreFinder/access.log\") uri!=\"Probe\"| timechart count as \"Pageviews\", avg(response_time) as \"Response Time\" by source | tail 5 ";
JobArgs jobargs = new JobArgs();
jobargs.setExecutionMode(JobArgs.ExecutionMode.NORMAL);
jobargs.setEarliestTime("-15m@m");
jobargs.setLatestTime("now");
Job job = service.getJobs().create(searchQuery_normal,jobargs);
JobResultsArgs resultsArgs = new JobResultsArgs();
resultsArgs.setOutputMode(JobResultsArgs.OutputMode.XML);
InputStream results = job.getResults(resultsArgs);
ResultsReaderXml resultsReader=new ResultsReaderXml(results);
//ResultsReaderCsv resultsReader=new ResultsReaderCsv(results);
//ResultsReaderJson resultsReader = new ResultsReaderJson(results);
HashMap event;
System.out.println("\nFormatted results from the search job as CSV\n");
while ((event = resultsReader.getNextEvent()) != null) {
for (String key: event.keySet())
System.out.println(" " + key + ": " + event.get(key));
}
resultsReader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Hi,
Most of the time they only start occurring after a period of time, but some times it will through in the beginning of the execution only

Hi,
There is nothing between splunkd and java client. I am just using my ldap id and password to connect to splunk. No service object is not a singleton in my code.

Is there anything on the network between your java client and splunkd that could be affecting the authentication token in the HTTP header ?Or anything in you code ?

How are you using your Service object in your code ? Singleton ?

splunk server is located in a remote system so i cannot see the details of server.conf. but if i login to splunk app directly and execute the query , it executes as many times as i want with out any issue. I guess there is no problem with the session time out else i would get the same error when i run the query with splunk web.

[Damien_Dallimor]

what is the sessionTimeout value in server.conf

Are the 401 errors interleaved with successful requests , or do they only start occurring after a period of time ?
