Pinger App configuration on Windows Server

binuj
Explorer

I am trying to test the Pinger application in our lab but am not able to get it running.

The steps i did are as follows

  1. Installed the app
  2. Created teh local folde under pinger
  3. copied the input.conf file to the local folder and changed the //./bin/heartbeat.py to ://.\bin\heartbeat.py
  4. Added the file pinger.conf in local folder with contents as follows

[default]
location = Lab

[example_com]
label = Google
host = www.google.com
resource = /

After this restarted the splunk but i am not able to get any dat. ANy help would be appreciated

Hi binuj

your path in the inputs.conf is wrong, windows need to have the \ instead of / in the path, like this:

[script://.\bin\sospowershell.cmd ps_sos.ps1]

so change your path in the input.conf to script://.\bin\heartbeat.py and you should be fine.
If not so, check the index=_internal for related errors or look in the splunkd.log directly.

hope this helps.

cheers, MuS
