We are using the Splunk Add-on  for AWS (Version : 5.0.3) and SPLUNK version 8.0.8 . We would like to leverage the SPLUNK Add-on  to consume data from Kinesis Stream and internally send data to SPLUNK HEC end point .  When it is sending data to Internal HEC end point  ( port : 8088)  it is throwing error as below for the self signed certificate being used for SPLUNK HEC.  Does anyone know how to disable the SSL certificate validation in the add-on ?  Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/splunktalib/event_writer.py", line 252, in write_events data=event, http=self._http) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/splunktalib/rest.py", line 31, in splunkd_request data, timeout, retry) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/splunktalib/rest.py", line 62, in urllib3_request data, timeout, retry, urllib3_req) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/splunktalib/rest.py", line 97, in do_splunkd_request raise e File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/splunktalib/rest.py", line 93, in do_splunkd_request data, timeout) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/splunktalib/rest.py", line 57, in urllib3_req preload_content=True) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/urllib3/request.py", line 80, in request method, url, fields=fields, headers=headers, **urlopen_kw File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/urllib3/request.py", line 171, in request_encode_body return self.urlopen(method, url, **extra_kw) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/urllib3/poolmanager.py", line 330, in urlopen response = conn.urlopen(method, u.request_uri, **kw) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 760, in urlopen **response_kw File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 720, in urlopen method, url, error=e, _pool=self, _stacktrace=sys.exc_info()[2] File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/3rdparty/python3/urllib3/util/retry.py", line 436, in increment raise MaxRetryError(_pool, url, error or ResponseError(cause)) urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=8088): Max retries exceeded with url: /services/collector (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1106)'))) ...

In one of our SPLUNK SH Cluster environment, inserting records into KVStore using rest command is taking lot of time and I am able to post only 20 Records into the collection in one minute. The splunkd_access.log shows below message and tells that the each KVStore post is taking close to 3-5 secs. splunkd_access.log output as below. 127.0.0.1 - user [06/Jan/2020:13:56:55.591 +1100] "POST /servicesNS/nobody/test_app/storage/collections/data/TestCollection HTTP/1.1" 201 13 - - - 5889ms There is nothing suspicious message in mongo logs which tells why the insert is taking lot of time. Here is the sample script I am using for inserting records into KVStore. I can use the outputlookup command to update records into KVStore but this is to investigate the issue which we are facing in overall slowness of KVStore. import json import requests headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', } with open('test.json') as json_file: data = json.load(json_file) for p in data['definitions']: print p; response = requests.post('https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/test_app/storage/collections/data/TestCollection', headers=headers, verify=False, auth=('user', 'password'),data=json.dumps(p)) I am raising with splunk support in parallel posting here and would like to check if anyone have had these kind of issues in their environment and what steps were taken to figure out what is causing this issue. Storage IO wait on the mount point is close to 20 ms where SPLUNK is installed. ... View more
