Monitoring Splunk

Why is my Splunkd connection refused after logging in?

I can start Splunk without any errors:

Checking http port [MY_IP_ADDRESS:8000]: open
Checking mgmt port [MY_IP_ADDRESS:8089]: open
Checking appserver port [127.0.0.1:8065]: open
Checking kvstore port [MY_IP_ADDRESS:8191]: open

I can get to the login page via browser, log in with the default password, change the password but then I get a 500 server error.
Also, if I enter a wrong username/password, it correctly displays an error.

web_service.log:

I added the following in etc/splunk-launch.conf:

SPLUNK_BINDIP=MY_IP_ADDRESS

I'm not sure what to do. I opened ports 8000-8200 (just to be safe). I can't figure out on which IP/port it's refusing the connection.

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue and I resolved it by removing my SPLUNK_BINDIP addition for the time being. I'm still looking into it, but that solved it for now.

What was your solution? I assume you've solved it since it's been about a month.

Hi, I did not solve it yet.
I require splunk to only work on one IP address so removing the BINDIP addition is not an option for me...
