When I invoke the C# SDK example search() program to retrieve the same test data I submitted, I get some of my results printed to the command window, but then an exception is thrown:
Unhandled Exception: System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: The connection was closed unexpectedly
I've learned the following about my error:
The spunk log file shows that the search job being run is completing successfully.
(1) is borne out by observing that the following code within Program.cs of search() completes successfully (commenting out the parts in Program.cs that follow where the data is actually accessed and written to the console):
while (!job.IsDone)
{
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
// ...
The timeout error is occurring within the following block of code within Program.cs:
// ...
using (var stream = job.Results(outArgs)) {
using (var rr = new ResultsReaderXml(stream)) {
foreach (var @event in rr) {
System.Console.WriteLine("EVENT:");
foreach (string key in @event.Keys) {
System.Console.WriteLine(" " + key + " -> " + @event[key]);
}
}
}
}
The index being searched here has 43 events in it (all of which were put there via invocations of the submit() example program). The preceding loop is able to write about 26 of those entries to the screen before the "connection closed unexpectedly" exception is thrown. It would seem that the error has something to do with a timeout on the underlying stream supplied to the ResultsReaderXML. I've attempted to change a variety of timeout settings on that stream before passing it to the constructor, but there's no change in the behavior.
I'll just add that I've done nothing here beyond installing Splunk with all default configurations, downloading the C# SDK and building it, and then attempting to run the search() program. It's somewhat surprising that I'm encountering this error, as the index being searched is trivially small. Is the C# SDK still under development? Thanks.
