Re: Absolute paths

According to indexes.conf you can also specify a directory path. It gives the example of "$SPLUNKHOME\myfrozenarchive" I merely changed the path to "$SPLUNK_HOME\arch" (after creating the directory) That at least should have worked, but I still got the same absolute path error. ... View more

I know this question has probably been asked before but I've tried it a LOT of ways. Splunk 5.0.4 build 172409 on Windows 2008R2 I'm trying to add an absolute path to my indexes.conf file but am constantly getting: "Problem parsing indexes.conf: Cannot create index '_audit': path of coldToFrozenDir must be absolute.." I have tried: "\hostname\arch" "\UNC PATH TO EXTERNAL HOST\share\arch" (my preferred solution) "%HOMEDRIVE%\arch" ($HOMEDRIVE = c:) "$HOMEDRIVE\arch" "C:\arch" I even tried adding a directory to the path in the example file "$SPLUNK_HOME\arch" (using the indexes.conf under local of course) Still no luck. I've googled this thing to death. Any help? (btw, the resultant post removes the double slashes from some of my examples for some reason) Thanks! ... View more
