Is there any script or playbook that can help in adding executible permissions for particular scripts for nix app?

Hi, the size of my Splunk database is at around >1TB+. I would like to know about all available Indexes and especially all of the associated SourceTypes and the amount of it. The search in WebUI works no problem for the last 24hrs but searching for all of the data takes forever and times out. I'm aware that saved searches would be an option but i'm curious to know if  a script would work which recursive scans the database and process all SourceTypes.data file like < /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/sampledb/db/db_1680195600_1672423200_0/SourceTypes.data < /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/sampledb/db/db_1698782400_1680199200_1/SourceTypes.data ... ... Would this be a feasable option? Many thanks
Is there a way just to exclude specific sources form the transforms null-route?

@deepakc Sorry, I missed to mention, my monitor is: [monitor://D:\Logs\*] sourcetype = abc index = def   and the transforms is set to: REGEX=(Info|info|Information|debug|Debug|Verbose) DEST_KEY = queue FORMAT = nullQueue   And, my //D:\Logs\jkl.txt have all info logs and therefore does not ingest currently because of the transform but now I want to ingest this file but removing the transforms will ingest info logs from other sources as well which I dont want. How can I proceed?   But now I want to ingest the

I realize this is an old thread but in case anyone is running into this, this is how I solve it: Do a running read of splunkd.log while searching for "while reading" tail -f /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log | grep -i "while reading" Stop splunk and keep looking at the output of the tail command. Whichever file splunk was reading while it was shutdown, is your trouble file.
Unfortunately not. The configure_db_maintenance settings do not have that level of granularity. It applies to all containers.

You could try next by your own responsibility! Anyhow your SHC is not fulfilling Splunk’s requirements! Have you try to stop all nodes on SHC? Backup kvstore. Then remove that app from this one node by rm -fr …./etc/apps/<your app nam>. Then start the all nodes one by one on the SHC and check what is your situation after that? Also check kvstore and shcluster statuses. That may help you, or it could lead the situation which force you to install whole SHC from scratch! So test this with your own risk.

Have a look at this one - maybe this would be of help, it mentions Azure App Insights  (It's always worth perusing on Splunk base and working through the Azure TA's as to your requirements).

I don’t think you can. Setting null routing should come first in your props and transforms (Left to right order) otherwise all the data will get discarded, so look at the order of your props, I'm sure the null is first order which defines the jkl.txt logs.   What you want to do now is to explicitly add the jkl.txt for ingest, so the method would be to whitelist only the files you want to be logged as in the example below.   [monitor://D:\Logs\*] sourcetype = abc index = def whitelist=(*jkl.txt|*myother_files.txt)   So, me thinks you may have to modify the null routing  or disable it.

Can you dynamically change the charts (ie. from bar to line), using a dropdown menu? At the moment, I've created multiple charts and utilizing show and hide (depending on the options selected), to serve this purpose.   I was wondering if there's an easier/cleaner/simpler way of achieving this.

Hi, I am trying to do a chart overlay using a normal distribution graphic based upon the mean and standard deviation acquired from the fieldsummary command. I can generate the values in perl (below) for a bell curve. Can you tell me how to do this in the Splunk Dashboard xml? Thanks. #!/usr/bin/perl # min, max, count, mean, stdev all come from the fieldsummary command. $min = 0.442; $max = 0.507; $mean = 0.4835625; $stdev = 0.014440074377630105; $count = 128; $pi = 3.141592653589793238462; # The numbers above do not indicate a Gaussian distribution. # Create an artificial normal distribution (for the plot overlay) # based on 6-sigma. $min = sprintf("%.3f", $mean - 3.0*$stdev); # use sprintf as a rounding function $max = sprintf("%.3f", $mean + 3.0*$stdev); $interval = ($max - $min)/($count - 1); $x = $min; for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) { $y = (1.0/($stdev*sqrt(2.0*$pi))) * exp(-0.5*((($x-$mean)/$stdev)**2)); $myFIELD[$i] = sprintf(%.3f",$y); printf("myFIELD[$i]\n"); $x = $x + $interval; } exit;
Hello, Can anyone help me with the query that lists all the savedsearches in my splunk system along with the time taken by them to run completely?
Its the opposite for me, windows events are fine but application logs have problem, though, I will try upgrading the forwarder and check.

Indexed data is set at the bucket (folder) level, Buckets are only frozen deleted or optionally archived when the newest event in the bucket is older than frozenTimePeriodInSecs, therefore you may have a bucket that contains both new and really old data, but the old data won't be frozen until all of the data in the bucket are old (Splunk calculates this in the background)
