Troubleshooting¶

Below is some information that is useful if you are having problems with web_input:

SplunkWeb cannot start¶

This can happen when a browser started by Website Input will not close. To fix this, look for running instances of the browser (e.g. Firefox) and the driver (e.g. geckodriver) and close them. Then restart Splunk.

Check logs¶

Run the following search and look for anything that looks like an error

index=_internal sourcetype=web_input_modular_input NOT(DEBUG OR INFO)

If no related errors are seen, then try looking at all of the logs and see if the input indicates that it is working:

index=_internal sourcetype=web_input_modular_input
