Hi all,

Upon a recent upgrade to Splunk 8.0.4, I started seeing this error message when running a subsearch against a metric index using the mstats command:

StatsFileReader file open failed file=G:\Program Files\Splunk\var\run\splunk\dispatch\subsearch_1591031620.129695_967FF3A8-E48E-44F1-9399-E958A1F07906_1591031649.2\statstmp_96.sb.lz4

When I checked the folder \Program Files\Splunk\var\run\splunk\dispatch\subsearch_1591031620.129695_967FF3A8-E48E-44F1-9399-E958A1F07906_1591031649.2 on the search head executing the search, the file does not seem to exist.

I have tried researching the issue to no avail.
Has anyone seen this issue yet, and if so, is there a solution to the issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hello there,

 

we updated Splunk to ver. 8.x.x and experienced the same issue with one of our "tstats" commands.
Did you solve the problem?
