Hello,
our security officer asked me to deploy splunk forwarder on several hosts. I wanted to use puppet for that task. Below is the class I have written to do that. And it installs the rpm package, starts but after using "splunk set deploy-poll" and restarting it (I hope it does ...) the node is not seen on the splunk server. When I run all these commands using shell it works. Can anyone sched some light what is wrong with it ?
The steps (given to me by security officer) are:
- yum install ...
- /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk start --accept-license
- /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk enable boot-start
- /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk set deploy-poll splunkserver:8089 -auth admin:pass
service splunk restart
