Just did a fresh install of Splunk Enterprise 10.0.3, set up HTTPS with the web service, then installed Splunk DB Connect 4.21. The host runs RHEL 9.7. Java is openjdk 11.0.25 2024-10-15 LTS. Set up and started Splunkd service. Logged in. The Splunk DB Connect app shows a message: The Task Server is currently unavailable. Please check your settings. I have had issues with the "task server" and I have been able to resolve them with proper Java settings. But not this time. I tried to manually run the task server. The bin/server.sh script simply hangs. While that happens, I can find the java process that runs the server.jar but no port 9998 open. Also, in the splunkd.log, this error shows up every few seconds: failed to run task server, error=com.splunk.dbx.exception.HttpConnectionException: An error occurred while processing the HTTP request. So it seems that it is possibly a problem between the task server with the Splnkd service itself? May be on the management port 8089?
