Unable to access the Splunk Add-on for Cisco ASA content

[adamblock1]

I recently downloaded the Splunk Add-on for Cisco ASA 3.0.0. When saved, the filename is "splunk-add-on-for-cisco-asa_300.tar". When I look at the file properties, size=48.3KB, size on disk=52.0KB.

When I attempt to open this with Winzip, I receive the message (error) "Error reading header after processing 0 entries".

I am interested in installing this add-on on my deployment server, but due to the error, I am not exactly sure how to do this. Assistance would be appreciated.

hi, winzip should handle it if you change the extension from .tar to .tgz.

Alternatively, you can install it into a Splunk server by using Manage Apps -> Install from file.

If you update Cisco Security Suite as well, then that should work.

I currently have Splunk for Cisco Firewalls 2.0 (TA-Cisco) installed on the indexers and search head. Can this be disabled, and the Add-on for Cisco ASA used in its place?

Thank you.
