HI,
I have inherited a clustered Splunk setup and I noticed that 1 of my 2 indexers had crashed a couple of days ago.
Trying to restart it yields a Splunk timed out waiting to start error. Looking at the splunkd log I see the following error:
02-22-2016 14:05:35.800 +0000 ERROR SSLCommon - Can't read key file C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\auth\server.pem errno=101077092 error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt.
The key file is there and looks OK to me, though I am not sure how I can test it. I did use the OpenSSL command, but received the same message. I tried changing the password in the config file and I receive a "bad password" error, so I know the PW is correct and it is reading the correct file.
There have been no updates or config changes that I am aware of, this 1 indexer server just seemed to crash.
Is it just a case of creating a new certificate on this one indexer, or are there other steps that need to be followed so I don't break the cluster / indexes?
I am running
Splunk Version
6.2.3
Splunk Build
264376
On Windows 2012 R2 servers.
Thanks
