Hi  Trying to install Splunk Enterprise on Windows Server 2022 with my Domain account but every time I install it, it keeps rolling back. I have checked online but keep see info around giving my Domain  account needs to have the relevant permissions. The version of Splunk Enterprise I am installing is 9.2.0.1   Can you please advise me on what permission should be granted to the domain account or if there is anything else that may be causing the rollback

1. If you really want to brute-force your way through configs, don't just do grep -R over everything because you'll be doing - for example - searching through a whole lot of java code if you have DBConnect installed. It's enough to do find $SPLUNK_HOME/etc -type f -name \*.conf | xargs grep "index=whatever" 2. It only finds those cases where there is an explicit index=something condition in the search. I know it's relatively uncommon, but index can be specified in another way - for example with a use of a macro. The index can also be specified with a wildcard. There are more fancy ways of dynamically specifying index to search. You won't find them this way.

Hi  @bwheelerice  recently I did similar exercise  if you have backend access  on Searchead CLI  navigate to $PLUNK_HOME/etc run command grep -Ril "index=<indexname>" it will list wherever index=<indexname> present with location  its covers etc/apps/ and etc/users However, one problem is that you need to do it  based on your needs. At least it worked for me to find index names and replace them wherever needed. searching of index name depends on component  for ex: on deployment server you need to run in location  $PLUNK_HOME/etc/deployment-apps  on cluster manager $PLUNK_HOME/etc/manager-apps or master-apps it works for any keyword that you want to lookfor
What should I do now to solve the problem

Hi @thevikramyadav  In addtion to @PickleRick answer , below is the basic understandinf of  SH cluster  Search head cluster need minimum of 3 search heads and max 100   Group of search heads where apps, search, artifacts and jobs scheduling are same   Group of search heads replicates knowledge objects replicates search artifacts increases search accessibility   Advantages Horizontal scaling High availability No single point of failure - Deployer Centralized location to distribute apps and other configurations to search head cluster members Not participate in searches - Captain - Its a cluster member with additional responsibilities - responsible include - Scheduling jobs/searches - Coordinating alerts and alerts suppression across the cluster - Pushes the knowledge bundle to search peers(indexers) - Coordinating artifacts replication - Replicating configuration updates - Cluster members - Same as search head in single instance - Participate in searches - Load balancer (optional) - 3rd party software - Resides between users and cluster members - Replication factor - Determines the number of copies of each artifact/search result - Only artifact/search result from scheduled saves searches are replicated - Results from ad hoc searches or real time searches are not replicated - by default, schedules saves searches results are stored in - $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/dispatch/search/ - Search peers          - These Indexers where data is searched
Hi @Anud, The add-on documentation explains how to assign icons to nodes. What have you tried so far?
Hi @MichaelBs, After receiving the data, you can use timechart as you normally would. Do you have specific questions about timechart using the sample data provided?

Hi @AliMaher, Archived .conf content is a great place to start. Behind The Magnifying Glass: How Search Works by Jeff Champagne provides a nice overview, and TSTATS and PREFIX by Richard Morgan is fantastic. Try searching conf.splunk.com using your favorite search engine for the term tsidx, e.g. using Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aconf.splunk.com+tsidx

Hi @larunrahul, You can use the rex, chart, and where commands to extract the call type, summarize the events, and filter the results, respectively: | makeresults format=csv data="_raw TXN_ID=abcd inbound call INGRESS TXN_ID=abcd inbound call EGRESS TXN_ID=efgh inbound call INGRESS" | extract | rex "inbound call (?<call_type>[^\\s]+)" | chart count over TXN_ID by call_type | where INGRESS!=EGRESS TXN_ID EGRESS INGRESS efgh 0 1 I've used the extract command to automatically extract the TXN_ID field in the example, but if your events are already indexed, Splunk will have done that for you automatically.
It's something your IT department should take care of. Basics of networking and general sysadmin work are way out of scope of this forum.

Hi Folks,   I have two types of events that look like this Type1: TXN_ID=abcd inbound call INGRESS Type2: TXN_ID=abcd inbound call EGRESS   i want to find out how many events of each type per TXN_ID. If the counts per type don't match per TXN_ID, I want to out put that TXN_ID   I know that we can do stats count by TXN_ID. But how do so do that Per event type in same query?   Appreciate the help.   Thanks
How we can configure the DNS ? 
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/DistSearch/AboutSHC Don't hesitate to ask specific questions you have after reading through the docs.

1. It's a veeeeeery old thread (over 10 years since last post) 2. Monitoring changes to filesystem is a completely different issue than logging changes on a file sharing platform (regardless of whether we're talking NFS, CIFS, DAV...). First thing would be to make sure that the service itself can and will log relevant data.
You don't have your DNS properly configured so your computer doesn't know where the host named "splunk" is.
Sorry, my typo. It's servicesNS (plural).
I'm getting confused in SH clustering, can someone help me.

Hello The link is for version 6.0 and no longer exists. "http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Data/Monitorchangestoyourfilesystem" You can use this link instead: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.2.2/Data/Monitorchangestoyourfilesystem Although the contents of this document did not match the solution I wanted In the SIM solution of ManageEngine company, it is possible to monitor a folder that has been Shared in such a way that if a file or folder is created, edited, renamed or deleted, it shows by which user and at what time and from which IP It happened. I am looking for such a solution in Splunk
Try /serviceNS/-/-/ instead of /services/
