issues with splunk app for active directory

freeborn
Explorer

I cant seem to run any reports within the splunk app for active directory.

For instance if I run user logon failures i get "Lookup table 'HostInfo' is empty."

Administrator audit: I get Lookup table 'HostInfo' is empty. and Lookup table 'tSessions' is empty.

Any help is appreciated since I am trying to set this up to present prior to purchasing.

Please open up a new issue / answers - your situation may be different. Don't forget to include what version of the app you are running, what version of windows, what version of splunk, etc.

Adrian, was there a solution to this problem? I am also having the same issue. I did verify also that my auditing matches the documentation.

The tHostInfo and tSessions tables are generated by saved searches that run on a five minute schedule. There are a couple of reasons why they would not be shown:

  1. You have not turned on Audit on all your domains as described in the setup documentation
  2. You are running Admin Audit with a search period that is less than five minutes
  3. You have a more complex environment and your saved searches are not generating the files in the right place (unlikely if you are using the free version - this is more common in complex multi-search-head environments)
  4. For some reason, the saved search is not firing (also uncommon)

I suspect #1 is the culprit. If you don't enable audit, then successful logons don't get recorded, and the tSessions and tHostInfo look ups will be empty as a result of no events.

Get in touch with your Splunk sales team and ask them to get me involved. We'll get something sorted.

Ahall_splunk...if you would like to have a look at my install...let me know. Our temp license runs to July 20th and I am trying to prove a POC to purchase.

I've just had another report of the tHostInfo table being broken, and I am investigating. It doesn't happen on my system, so any information you can provide on your AD environment would be appreciated.
