Hi Marco,

I face an error while creating a distributed Splunk environment. The error is on task [baseconfig_app : (org_cluster_search_base) setting static unhashed pass4SymmKey on clustermaster stanza], using Splunkenizer version 1.2devel:

$ ansible-playbook ansible/deploy_site.yml

The error is reproducible, additional details can be submitted if you need them.

Can you please attach the splunk_config.yml here or send it to me by mail? I need to reproduce.

aleoliva commented 5 years ago

Here is the zipped splunk_config.yml: splunk_config.zip

splunkenizer commented 5 years ago

I could not reproduce your error with the config file you submitted here, but I have verified your config file and found several issues with it:

Yes, it's true. I had two monitoring_console roles defined.

After solve this point, I could go a bit further but the new error is:

fatal: [splkT-sh3]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check 'splunk_secret_share[splunk_install_app] == true' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (splunk_secret_share[splunk_install_app] == true): 'splunk_secret_share' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/home/linux/Vagrant/Splunkenizer/ansible/roles/splunk_software/tasks/main.yml': line 31, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n- name: check for existing splunk.secret file\n  ^ here\n"}

I cannot find documentation about where to place the splunk.secret file

Thanks in advance. splunk_config.zip

splunkenizer commented 5 years ago

The splunk.secret file will be picket up from the first installed server and placed into the auth directory in the Splunkenizer folder. The folder will be created automatically, when vagrant runs.

True and I had missed to set splunk_license_file on _config/splunkconfig.yml, although I was installing a license_master.

Solved, e.g.:

...
splunk_defaults:
  splunk_license_file: Splunk_Enterprise.lic
...
splunk_hosts:
  - name: splk-ds
    roles:
      - deployment_server
      - license_master
    shcluster: shc1
...
