After we upgraded splunk from 6.4.5 to 6.4.6 we see lot of stanza related errors. Ran "splunk btool check" to generate report. Below are few of 100s of errors:

    Invalid key in stanza [CPU Used-Summary] in /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/xxx/default/savedsearches.conf, line 10: dispatch.earliest_time  (value:  -5m@m).
    Invalid key in stanza [CPU Used-Summary] in /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/xxx/default/savedsearches.conf, line 11: dispatch.latest_time  (value:  -0s@s).
    Invalid key in stanza [CPU Used-Summary] in /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/apps/xxx/default/savedsearches.conf, line 12: enableSched  (value:  1).

All these are valid keys in saved searches.conf.

Can you check savedsearches.conf.spec file under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/README/ contains these values like dispatch.latest_time, dispatch.earliest_time, enableSched?
