---------------------------------
Summary: GetSplunk Should Periodically Re-Authenticate
Key: NIFI-3349
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3349
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 1.1.1, 0.7.1, 1.1.0, 0.6.1, 0.7.0, 0.6.0, 1.0.0
Reporter: Bryan Bende
Priority: Minor
The first time the processor executes, it lazily initializes the Splunk Service
object:
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-splunk-bundle/nifi-splunk-processors/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/processors/splunk/GetSplunk.java#L372-L377
As part of this initialization, the Splunk service calls a login method like
this:
{code}
public Service login(String username, String password) {
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
Args args = new Args();
args.put("username", username);
args.put("password", password);
args.put("cookie", "1");
ResponseMessage response = post("/services/auth/login", args);
String sessionKey = Xml.parse(response.getContent())
.getElementsByTagName("sessionKey")
.item(0)
.getTextContent();
this.token = "Splunk " + sessionKey;
this.version = this.getInfo().getVersion();
if (versionCompare("4.3") >= 0)
this.passwordEndPoint = "storage/passwords";
return this;
}
{code}
Since this only happens the first time the processor executes, it will only
happen again if you stop and start the processor. If the processor has been
running long enough that session probably expired and the processor is
continuing to attempt to execute.
We should periodically call service.login() in a timer thread.
