After upgrading from 7.0.3 to 7.1.0 longer searches will be auto-finalized!
So most results will not be correct because not all events will be used for a given timerange.
Example: (All time search, no config changes in disk quotas done)
| search source "unitstatus" => 1.099.140 events with message 'Search auto-finalized after disk usage limit (0MB) reached. '
| search source "unitstatus" | stats count => 1.542.614 eventcount with message 'Search auto-finalized after disk usage limit (0MB) reached. '
| metadata type=sources index=* | where source="unitstatus" | fields + totalCount => 2.671.141 count without message
This happens with ALL searches, i was able to test. The diskquota in the FREE version is promised to be not limited.
It happens on every Upgradeinstallation with V7.1.0.
What did i do wrong?
Good message:
It's a known issue, it's been tested, verified and logged into the issue tracker.
It's not on purpose or anything, but seems to be a bug that only hits the combination of realtime, 7.1 and free license.
Bad message:
Seems there is no workaround or fix yet.
Got the same bug on my splunk test env
I have a trial license installed and it does the same thing while running a REAL-TIME search
So this also happens with a non-expired license? Too bad. I could not test that yet.
I have to mention that it happens with ANY type of search - not only REAL-TIME.
