Splunk not added to chkconfig

[neilmcbride1]

Hi,

Is there anything extra I need to add in order to get splunk added to chkconfig?

err: /Stage[main]/Splunk/Service[splunk]/ensure: change from stopped to running failed: Could not enable splunk: Execution of '/sbin/chkconfig splunk on' returned 1: service splunk does not support chkconfig

I get this same error above on amazon AMI.

The problem is that splunk does not generate a valid init.d script. if you add

chkconfig: 2345 20 80

to the /etc/init.d/splunk init script it will work.

Yes. That's not something I would do via Puppet. I'd rather try to open an issue on Splunk.

But what would you do in the mean time until an updated splunk is available?

Just add this until splunk fix it:

file_line { 'chkconfig_line':
path => '/etc/init.d/splunk',
after => '#!/bin/sh',
line => '# chkconfig: 2345 20 80',
require => Exec['splunk_create_service']
}

I don't feel comfortable in adding to the module something that changes a file which is not marked as configuration file (ad so is not preserved on packages upgrades) in the rpm.
Anyway, your solution looks fine, I might eventually accept a PR that implements it only if a boolean parameter is set to true (called for example fix_service_script) but is false by default (so that it doesn't do any change by default)

just add the following comments to /etc/init.d/splunk

# chkconfig: 2345 20 80
# description: splunk start up

then run commnad: chkconfig --add splunk
