Troubleshooting

Splunk_TA_stream and Wire Data mod input not appearing after install

After installing Splunk App for Stream on Linux, with splunkd running as root, the Splunk_TA_stream directory does not appear in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps, and the Wire Data modular input is not listed under Settings > Data Input.

Workaround:

1. Manually copy the Splunk_TA_stream directory located in splunk_app_stream/install.

cd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
cp -r splunk_app_stream/install/Splunk_TA_stream

2. Manually re-create the .modinput on the stream forwarder:

cd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_stream
touch darwin_x86_64/bin/.modinput linux_x86/bin/.modinput linux_x86_64/bin/.modinput

3. Restart Splunk Enterprise:

$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk restart

Note: When you manually copy the Splunk_TA_stream directory, you must also setup a new Wire Data input using the Splunk UI:

1. Go to Settings > Data Inputs.

2. Click Wire Data.

3. Click New

4. For name, enter "streamfwd."

5. For Splunk App for Stream Location, enter "http://localhost:8000/en-us/custom/splunk_app_stream/."

5. Locate the "streamfwd" data input in the list, and click Enable.

The Wire Data (Stream Forwarder) data input is now enabled and begins to send event data to Splunk.
