Hello Splunker!

 

Sometimes my searches on Splunk Enterprise Security Search Head ran into following error (mostly) without any results, sometimes there are only a view results :

 

[idx1, idx4 ...] Streamed search execute failed because: Error in 'lookup' command: Failed to re-open lookup file: '/opt/splunk/var/run/searchpeers/splunksearchhead-1631016538/kvstore_s_SA-IdeRjww0FotymhlCIaS1cqkc05a_identix3UXVbINERGdyPwDBuI5US7E'.

 

Sometimes the searches work, somtimes they not. There is also a "normal" Splunk Search Head, the same search works all the time. If the error appears also the Incident Review needs about 

I already checked the bundle size of both Search Heads and the ES bundle is about 800mb. The "normal" Search Head bundle is  about 1,1gb.

 

Splunk Enterprise 8.2.1

Splunk Enterprise Security 6.6.0

Splunk Cluster with 2 sites, each site 8 idx.

 

I would greatly appreciate any help 🙂

Please try increasing the max_memtable_bytes to higher than default i.e., 25 MB to 50MB.

In the ES correlation set up page for Asset and Identity management ensure you have "enable selectively for source types" if used or disable if you don't.

could you elaborate on your answer.

The message seems replication bundle related (replication=true for kv store collection).

What is the link with your answer ?

 

thanks in advance
