Hi @harpr86  Unfortunately this isn’t possible. I think this is the same when using the UI? Eg you create a search and it starts as private and then you have to update the permission to be shared.  I hope this helps, sorry it isn’t the answer you might have hoped for! 
It would help to know more about your use case including any existing SPL you're using. Have you looked at the filldown command?

Hi all. Having an issue with hostname override for snmp logs.

I have successfully setup AME and tested the tenant connection and get back connector is healthy.  I can also send test event from the tenant setup page and can see it in the default index.  If I go to events there is not test not any of the alerts I have configured to send to AME even though I can see them in the traditional triggered alerts as they are still configured as well.  Looking in _internal I do see the below error: 2025-06-06T11:24:06.612+00:00 version=3.4.0 log_level=ERROR pid=1615220 s=AbstractHECWrapper.py:send_chunk:304 uuid=***************** action=sending_event reason="[Errno 111] Connection refused" Seems to suggest there is an issue with HEC, but the tenant shows green/healthy and the test comes to the index.  Any assistance would be appreaciated. Also, if I create an event from the Events page, that does show up in the app:    
Yah.  And ole Lizzy Li, the principal product manager, indicated in a .conf session that "parity" between Classic and DS was their intent.  So much for parity.

Does splunk support fill-forward or "last observation carried forward". I want to create a daily based monitoring. One example is getting the version of all reported items. I'm getting the version only if it is changed. For each day I need the last available version of the item. How can this be realized with splunk to realize a line-chart?   Thank you in advance Markus

I have promote multiple events into a case. From the case, I will run a playbook.  I understand that I can use the following container automations to set the status to close. phantom.update() phantom.close() phantom.set_status() However, these 3 playbook is only able to set the case's status to close. Is it possible to set the status of the promoted events within the case to close also?  For example, I have the following events. Event #1 Event #2 Event #3 When these 3 events are promoted to a case. And I run the playbook from this case, is it possible to set the status of this case and the 3 events to close .

@Leonardo1998  In addition to other recommendations: You can configure a dedicated VM and install either syslog-ng or rsyslog, making it act as a syslog forwarder. Network Devices (such as firewalls, routers, and switches) can then be configured to send logs over a custom port to this syslog forwarder. On the syslog forwarder, update the syslog-ng.conf or rsyslog.conf to capture these logs and store them in a specific directory. From here, you have two options: Install the Splunk Universal Forwarder (UF) on the server and configure it to forward the logs to the Splunk indexers. Or, install the full Splunk Enterprise package on the server and use it as a Heavy Forwarder (HF). If the server is used as a Heavy Forwarder, you can also install the relevant Technology Add-ons (TAs) for parsing. For example, if you're onboarding Fortinet firewall logs, you can install the Fortinet Add-on on this HF for proper parsing before forwarding the logs to the indexers. https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/tips-and-tricks/using-syslog-ng-with-splunk.html?locale=en_us

I started looking into Splunk Connect for SNMP (SC4SNMP) and I'm reviewing the documentation and requirements. One thing I'm not entirely sure about: Can I install SC4SNMP (Docker container) on the same machine where I already have my Intermediate Forwarder, or would it be better to run it on the Deployment Server?

Thanks a lot for your reply! For log collection, SC4S looks like a great fit — we'll definitely look into it. That said, we’re also interested in the infrastructure-level monitoring of our network devices — things like interface status, bandwidth usage, CPU load, etc. In this case, is it possible (or recommended) to use SNMP with Splunk? If so, are there supported solutions or best practices for integrating SNMP metrics into Splunk in an agentless way? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Leonardo1998  I would recommend looking at Splunk Connect for Syslog (SC4S) https://splunk.github.io/splunk-connect-for-syslog/main/ as this is designed exactly for taking syslog feeds from network infrastructure, parsing it and then sending to your Splunk instance over HTTP Event Collector (HEC).  Did this answer help you? If so, please consider: Adding karma to show it was useful Marking it as the solution if it resolved your issue Commenting if you need any clarification Your feedback encourages the volunteers in this community to continue contributing

Hi @Raja1  You cannot set a static captaincy using the POST request, instead use the following: To switch to a static captain, reconfigure each cluster member to use a static captain: On the member that you want to designate as captain, run this CLI command: splunk edit shcluster-config -mode captain -captain_uri <URI>:<management_port> -election false   2.

Hello everyone, we’re currently working on integrating our network devices (such as routers, switches, and firewalls) into Splunk to enable centralized monitoring and log collection. As these are network appliances, we’re required to proceed in agentless mode, since installing agents or forwarders directly on the devices is not an option. We would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions on: The best approaches for agentless integration (e.g., Syslog, SNMP, NetFlow, APIs) Any recommended Splunk add-ons or apps to support this Best practices or examples from similar implementations Thanks in advance for your help and insights!
