Enterprise Security v4.1.3 Setup on Splunk 6.5.0

[Splunker]

Hi,

On a test system, i am having trouble upgrading ES from v4.1.2 on Splunk 6.5.0 to v4.1.3.

After installing the app, selecting Apps -> Enterprise-Security, selecting the green button to start the ES setup, am greeted with a blank screen (grey screen, and has the black navbar at the top).

The upgrade path went as follows..

Upgraded Splunk 6.4.2 -> 6.5.0
Upgraded ES to v4.1.2 (worked fine)
Upgraded ES to v4.1.3 (current problem)

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi jwelch,

Awesome, thanks that got me back in. 🙂

Cheers.

This also occurred from the ES 4.1.3 -> 4.5.0. The same fix resolved that issue as well.

Not sure of the root-cause, it would be nice to be able to go through the setup.

Try running this from the cli:

From your bin dir:

./splunk search '| essinstall' -auth admin:password
On WINDOWS use
splunk search "| essinstall" -auth admin:password

You might have to play with the double quotes if this is windows.

Look at your essinstaller2.log for any issues.

Okie
