Does Splunk uses the Visual C++ Runtime Library? Since installing the Splunk agent, I have seen no less than two popup errors on one of our file servers (Event log entry: “Application popup: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library : Runtime Error! Program: This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.”) which we’ve never seen before on these systems. I think the same message appeared on one or more systems, but there might be slightly different verbage. The error message does not identify the program, so I can’t connect it directly to Splunk, but aside from a few Microsoft patches, that change is the only deviation in the past three weeks on this system. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks! |

Yes, Splunk does use that library. The error itself doesn't specify Splunk, so I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's a result of the installation straight away. If there was a system or an app error, I would expect to be caught in the Windows event logs also, have you checked those logs for the times when you saw these messages on-screen. When Splunk fails to do something or gets an unexpected result from an operation, it will usually record that in it's own logs, so check out |
