Has anyone had that before?

If you hard-reload the page with minification off, does the error go away on that page? Can you tell me what the exact URL of that page, just to be clear?

Stephen_Sorkin · ‎04-08-2011

It looks like this is happening inthe javascript minification code path. You may want to try disabling this (and CSS minification) in etc/system/local/web.conf. In ansy case, this looks like a bug that you should file with Splunk Support.

Stephen_Sorkin · ‎04-08-2011

Ok, this is odd. You should certainly file a support case.

ckorb · ‎04-08-2011

the home screen, everything else like the menu or search/manage/alerts and so on is showing just on the home-screen i still get this error

Stephen_Sorkin · ‎04-08-2011

what do you mean by home-frame?

ckorb · ‎04-08-2011

thx that helped, now i can see everything except the home-frame

Stephen_Sorkin · ‎04-08-2011

You'll have to add a new one. The exact parameters can be found in etc/system/README/web.conf.spec.

ckorb · ‎04-08-2011

i checked that path but there are just the server.conf and the tenants.conf

ckorb · ‎04-08-2011

thx for the fast reply, i added them in the original post

Are you running SELINUX? What does 'ulimit -a' look like? 'grep ulimit splunkd.log'

Why am I not seeing the finding in Splunk Enterprise Security Analyst Queue?
