Splunk Enterprise Security

Splunk Enterprise Security: Adding objects to data model caused dashboards to show invalid data. Is there a way to return the data model to its "original" setup?

I added several objects to the "Vulnerabilities" data model. After that the Enterprise Security /Security Domains/Network/Vulnerability Center dashboard started showing inconsistent values in some panels and has "search is waiting for input" on other panels. Is there a way to return the data model and the dashboard to the original configuration before I screwed them up?

On way to do it is to go to your Splunk home directory and delete the custom files:

  • /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_SA_CIM/default/data/models/xxx.json for datamodel
  • /opt/splunk/etc/apps/xxx/local/data/ui/views/yyy.xml (or etc/users/ if they are private) for dashboards (you may use the find command if you do not know the apps they are belong too).

And you need to restart Splunk after.

Deleting the files and restarting restored the items. Thanks for the help.
