Monitoring Splunk

Why is there Splunk Cloud Monitoring Console Inaccuracy?

Hi There,

I have just checked the Cloud Monitoring Console after receiving an email that noted some apps were ready to be upgraded to Python 3. I am using Splunk Cloud and saw the following information about my universal forwarders.

I have attached a screenshot, but the date doesn't appear to make sense and the newer version is showing as being outdated.

Any help would be appreciated,

Jamie

This is because the Cloud Monitoring Console version on your cloud stack does not currently have the support end-dates configured for 9.1.x, the following eval is used to determine the support expiration:

| eval fwd_7_3_eos=relative_time(strptime("22-Oct-2021", "%d-%b-%Y"), "+1d@d"), fwd_8_0_eos=relative_time(strptime("22-Oct-2021", "%d-%b-%Y"), "+1d@d"), fwd_8_1_eos=relative_time(strptime("19-Apr-2023", "%d-%b-%Y"), "+1d@d"), fwd_8_2_eos=relative_time(strptime("12-May-2023", "%d-%b-%Y"), "+1d@d"), fwd_9_0_eos=relative_time(strptime("14-Jun-2024", "%d-%b-%Y"), "+1d@d"), fwd_default_eos=relative_time(strptime("01-Jan-1971", "%d-%b-%Y"), "+1d@d") 
| eval expTimestamp = case( match(version, "^7\.3"), fwd_7_3_eos, match(version, "^8\.0"), fwd_8_0_eos, match(version, "^8\.1"), fwd_8_1_eos, match(version, "^8\.2"), fwd_8_2_eos, match(version, "^9\.0"), fwd_9_0_eos, 1==1, fwd_default_eos) 

As you may be able to see, this only currently goes up to 9.0, else it falls back onto "fwd_default_eos" which is the date you're seeing (2nd Jan 1971)
