I am getting the following error while trying to execute the indexing test:
[2013-05-21 14:48:46,236] IdxTestSetup: Splunk restarted successfully
[2013-05-21 14:48:46,237] IdxTestSetup: Adding file monitor for the static dataset to be indexed
[2013-05-21 14:48:46,240] IdxTestSetup: Waiting for indexing to finish
[2013-05-21 14:48:46,241] IdxTestSetup: Using datagen record - looking for 183729363 events in the splunkit_idxtest index
Added monitor of '/ssd1/splunkit/splunkit-server/data/static'.
[2013-05-21 14:49:16,270] IdxTestSetup: Exception - Terminating setup. Detail: 'module' object has no attribute 'check_output'
Any help is appreciated.

I am getting the same error message with RHEL6.4. Do you really have to have python 7 installed? This is a tough requirement if you are using standard build of RHEL. Any ideas how to resolve the issue?

Hi Martin,
It appears your python version is out of date. As mentioned in the INSTALL & QUICKSTART files, the splunkit-server role requires python 2.7+.
Specifically, this error is being thrown due to the check_output function in the subprocess module that was introduced in Python 2.7: http://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.check_output
Let me know if any issues arise after upgrading python.
Thanks!
