Splunk Enterprise

Why is Secure Gateway Status Not Connected?

I had the Splunk Cloud Gateway installed before it was standard (Splunk 7.x) and working, with alerts and dashboards accessible from my phone.  I believe during a license update that stripped my account (new terms allows for only one account, so admin) broke it (stopped getting alerts).  Since its a home lab and not prod I didn't dig into it.

Now that I am digging into it, the gateway dashboard is showing this:

SPL:  index=_internal source=*cloud* ERROR AND NOT SUBSCRIPTION

Shows this:

I can register my device, but it can't see any dashboards, it seems to time out.

There seems to be a vacuum in google as to troubleshooting this except talk of using proxies.  I am not running a proxy.

What could the issue be?

We are having this same issue on Splunk Enterprise 8.2.6 on prem with Splunk Secure Gateway 2.7.4, according to the firewall rules the connection port 443 outbound to the host prod.spacebridge.spl.mobi is allowed.

When we run the following rest command:

| rest "services/ssg/test_websocket" request_type="{\"versionGetRequest\": {}}" request_mode=clientSingleRequest

We get this output:

auth_code_status = 200
completed_client_registration = 0
error = 'token_id'
server_registration_status = 400
splunk_server = server
wss_response = 0


The error traceback in _internal is:

2022-05-09 11:22:58,148 ERROR [rest_base] [__init__] [exception] [4772] Spacebridge error

Did you managed to solve this issue?

I can delete devices, I can somewhat register a device (error at the end of the process telling me to contact the admin).

Thankfully production doesn't use this, but seems shaky for a built in app.

I had to revert my VM from a snapshot back to Splunk 8.0.1 using Splunk Cloud Gateway instead of Secure Gateway.  It now works, I can register my device and check dashboards.

Did you ever get this resolved using SSG? 

I'm having the **exact** same issue with 8.2.x docker in my LAB setup.

Never fixed it, I just restored to an older version of Splunk 7 and forgoing the update to 8.
