FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Splunk Cisco App Navigator installation and validation?

Automate SCAN installation by deploying local Splunk-TA packages and running a validation script to verify the app, product catalog, and Splunkbase lookup. This ensures a healthy deployment without manual configuration checks.

How do I validate the SCAN product catalog in Splunk Enterprise?

Validate the SCAN product catalog by querying the Splunk REST API to confirm catalog presence and verify the Splunkbase lookup. The validation script checks these components to ensure the deployment is properly synchronized.

Can I trigger a catalog sync from S3 for Splunk Cisco App Navigator?

Yes, you can trigger an initial catalog sync from S3 using the setup script. It supports both dry-run and sync options to fetch and update the product catalog data within your Splunk deployment.

Do I need Python to set up the Splunk Cisco App Navigator?

Yes, Python 3 is required to run the setup and validation scripts. The automation scripts use Python to interact with the Splunk REST API, install local packages, and execute the S3 catalog sync.

What is the best way to verify a healthy Splunk SCAN deployment post-install?

The best way to verify a healthy SCAN deployment is running the validation script to confirm app installation, check the product catalog via REST, verify the Splunkbase lookup, and validate the scheduled sync status.

Why is my Splunk Cisco App Navigator catalog sync not working?

Catalog sync issues may occur if the app installation from local packages failed or the Splunkbase lookup is missing. Run the validation script to check installation status and verify the S3 sync configuration.
