guid = <GUID in all-uppercase>
|
|
* This setting formerly (before 5.0) belonged in the [general] stanza of
|
|
server.conf file.
|
|
|
|
* Splunk expects that every Splunk instance will have a unique string for this
|
|
value, independent of all other Splunk instances. By default, Splunk will
|
|
arrange for this without user intervention.
|
|
|
|
* Currently used by (not exhaustive):
|
|
* Clustering environments, to identify participating nodes.
|
|
* Splunk introspective searches (Splunk on Splunk, Deployment Monitor,
|
|
etc.), to identify forwarders.
|
|
|
|
* At startup, the following happens:
|
|
|
|
* If server.conf has a value of 'guid' AND instance.cfg has no value of
|
|
'guid', then the value will be erased from server.conf and moved to
|
|
instance.cfg file.
|
|
|
|
* If server.conf has a value of 'guid' AND instance.cfg has a value of
|
|
'guid' AND these values are the same, the value is erased from
|
|
server.conf file.
|
|
|
|
* If server.conf has a value of 'guid' AND instance.cfg has a value of 'guid'
|
|
AND these values are different, startup halts and error is shown. Operator
|
|
must resolve this error. We recommend erasing the value from server.conf
|
|
file, and then restarting.
|
|
|
|
* If you are hitting this error while trying to mass-clone Splunk installs,
|
|
please look into the command 'splunk clone-prep-clear-config';
|
|
'splunk help' has help.
|
|
|
|
* See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt for how a GUID (a.k.a. UUID) is
|
|
constructed.
|
|
|
|
* The standard regexp to match an all-uppercase GUID is
|
|
"[0-9A-F]{8}-[0-9A-F]{4}-[0-9A-F]{4}-[0-9A-F]{4}-[0-9A-F]{12}".
