TASK [splunk_search_head : Check Splunk instance is running] is failing about docker-splunk HOT 4 CLOSED

Below is the link to the actual play.

For debugging, I would suggest ssh or exec into the container right after you run the make sample-compose-up command and run the same curl request as the ansible task to see what it actually complains about. Password setting happens way before checking Splunk instance is running and it might not be the issue. Also, if you have any additional logs, please post them here!

After "bash"ing into the sh1 container I issued the following curl:

splunk@sh1:/$ curl --insecure --user admin:changeme  https://localhost:8000/services/server/info?output_mode=json

curl: (35) error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

from docker-splunk.

The 8000 port used by Splunk is the web port, which should only listen on HTTP. Based on the endpoint you're trying to hit, I think you should change the port from 8000 -> 8089, which is the management port that listens on HTTPS.

The issue was due to an improper default.yml file
