splunk to soar

I am using sendtophantom in Splunk ES to send events to SOAR. The action shows success in the logs, but the events reach SOAR with a delay of about 8 minutes.

am using Splunk ES version  8   and the SOAR (Phantom) app version 4.3.26.
I use sendtophantom to forward events to SOAR. The action always shows success in the Splunk logs, but events reach SOAR after about 8 minutes.

The issue appeared suddenly; it was working fine before.

Here are some observations from the logs:

  • phantom_sendtophantom_modalert.log shows action_status="success" and sometimes long durations, e.g.:

     
    duration="549648" ms ≈ 9 minutes

    This roughly matches the 8-minute delay observed.

  • phantom_forward_modalert.log and phantom_retry.log confirm the app version is 4.3.26 and the KV Store has no pending items.


The delay seems to come from long processing time inside the modular action within Splunk, not from connectivity or network issues.

@kn450 - If all events are reaching meaning, there are no connectivity issues.

As the events are reaching after 8 minutes, which means it cannot also be a latency issue, as 8 minutes is too long for any default timeout settings.

 

So the only thing I could see is a "timestamp" (_time) of the event, which may differ from when the event arrives in Splunk. This usually refers to when the event occurs on the source system. Everything in Splunk uses this timestamp.

 

I hope this helps!!!
