Not getting results in several security dashboards

lfcowart — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 01:48:19 GMT

I'm getting events now, but for example I've looked at the "User Logon Failures" page. It doesn't return any results in any of the sections. I haven't looked at all of them, but the first one over time seems strange to me or maybe my data is strange.

It uses this:
search eventtype=msad-failed-user-logons

so I checked that eventtype and it's based on:
eventtype=msad-nt5-failed-user-logons OR eventtype=msad-nt6-failed-user-logons

I've got only 2008 R2 so I looked at the nt6 eventtype:
eventtype=wineventlog-security EventCode=4625 user!="*$"

This doesn't produce any search results for me as is. I removed the "user" field and get plenty of results. I can't actually see any "user" fields in the data I get.. however I have a field called "Account_Name" which seems to have the information I'm looking for. So I tried this search:

eventtype=wineventlog-security EventCode=4625 Account_Name!="*$"

I seem to get the failed logon attempts that the page is trying to retrieve. So I guess my question is.. is it normal for this to not work or should I actually have a "user" field?

I've looked at the Windows Security Operations Center app and it seems to join the "User Name" and "Account_Name" fields to produce results.

Ok so I read the instructions and I guess I misunderstood them. I thought that the AD app needed to be added to the index instance and the Windows_TA only to the DCs. But I added the Windows_TA to the splunk indexer and it seems to have fixed it. Even though I get a nasty error when opening the Windows_TA app since I'm using a Linux server.

You need to add the splunk_TA_Windows to your splunk instance for field extractions. You can disable all the inputs in the app (and you should on a Linux box), or even just remove the inputs.conf file - we just need the field extractions.
