I am running Splunk 6.3.3 and F5 TA 2.4.0 and getting the following error. Anyone seen this before? I am still indexing data from F5 so it can't be too critical....

Invalid key in stanza [Splunk_TA_f5_bigip_main] in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_f5-bigip/default/inputs.conf, line 12: start_by_shell (value: false).

Did you mean 'source'?
Did you mean 'sourcetype'?

Hi,

as start_by_shell is an option for a script-stanza, try to rename the stanza "[Splunk_TA_f5_bigip_main]" to "[script://./bin/Splunk_TA_f5_bigip_main.py]".

regards,

Maik

This stanza is still broken in version 2.5.0 of this app.
Could this get fixed upstream, please?

Can we see the inputs.conf in question?
