Hi there, Here's what I've gathered: Potential Reasons for Override: Consistency: OneIdentity might strive for consistent parameter naming across its apps and transforms, aligning with internal conventions or broader Splunk best practices. Functionality: Specific features or integrations within the OneIdentity-Safeguard app might necessitate these parameter names for proper operation. Security Considerations: Potential security enhancements or data handling requirements could be driving the parameter name modifications. Next Steps: Consult Documentation: Thoroughly review the OneIdentity-Safeguard app's documentation for any explicit explanations regarding the parameter name changes. Reach Out to OneIdentity: If documentation doesn't provide clarity, engage OneIdentity's support or community forums for direct answers from experts. Adapt Searches: Adjust your existing Splunk searches and dashboards to accommodate the new parameter names (e.g., using ip instead of clientip). Additional Considerations: Customizations: If you've made custom modifications to the dnslookup transform, carefully review and update them to align with the new parameter names. Third-Party Apps: If you're using third-party apps that rely on the dnslookup transform, ensure compatibility with the updated parameter names. Key Points: It's crucial to understand the rationale behind such changes to ensure smooth integration with other apps and maintain data integrity. Collaboration with OneIdentity or their community can provide valuable insights and best practices. Proactive adaptation of searches and configurations will maintain the functionality of your Splunk environment. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi @zymeworks , the only way to assign an index to an app is to upload a custom app, containing te indexes.conf file. Otherwise it isn't possible, but whay do you need this? Ita relevant in on-premise installations because in this way you always know where's the indexes.conf file to manage it (eventually modifying it) or to port the app in another instance. But in Splunk Cloud it isn't so relevant because you can modify the index only by GUI. Ciao. Giuseppe

Hi there, Here's a breakdown of the issue and potential solutions: Understanding the Issue: Base Search and Submit Button: When using a base search within a form with submitButton="true", dependent inputs won't automatically refresh when tokens they rely on change. This is because the base search is only executed when the "Submit" button is clicked. Solutions: Trigger Base Search Manually: Add a change event handler to the time picker input using JavaScript. Inside the handler, manually trigger a search for the dependent dropdown using splunkjs.mvc.Components.getInstance("service_name_token").startSearch(). Separate Searches for Dependent Inputs: Remove the base search from the dependent dropdowns. Reintroduce separate searches for each, ensuring they use tokens from the time picker and any other relevant inputs. This will trigger searches automatically when tokens change. Consider Alternatives to Submit Button: If immediate updates are crucial for all inputs, explore removing the submit button and relying on automatic token-based searches. If a final submit action is still needed, use a separate button or trigger. Additional Recommendations: Review Token Dependencies: Double-check that tokens are correctly referenced in dependent searches. Test Thoroughly: Implement changes in a testing environment before deploying to production. Consult Documentation: Refer to Splunk's documentation for more details on base searches and form behavior: <invalid url documentation splunk ON docs.splunk.com> Choose the solution that best aligns with your dashboard's requirements and desired user experience. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there, While Studio doesn't directly support prefix, suffix, and delimiter the same way, here are some workarounds using search queries: 1. Concatenate Strings: Use the concat or mvexpand functions in your search query to combine desired elements (prefix, value, suffix, delimiter) into a single field. Example: index=_internal | search name="myMetric" | eval combinedValue=concat("prefix_", value, "_suffix", "|") 2. Leverage Panel Formatting: Customize panel formatting options like titles, labels, and tooltips to display combined values as needed. 3. Utilize Calculated Fields: Create calculated fields in your search query to pre-process data and ensure the desired format within the panel. 4. Consider Panel Types: Explore different panel types in Studio that might natively support your formatting needs (e.g., single value panels, charts with custom labels). 5. Reference Older Formats: In Studio, you can still reference and embed panels from your old dashboard format, providing some continuity while exploring new features. Remember: Adapt the specific solution based on your dashboard's unique requirements and desired output format. Experiment with different approaches and panel configurations to find the best fit for your use case. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there, Many users face similar issues after upgrades, so you're not alone. Let's troubleshoot: Potential Causes: Resource-intensive features: New features in 9.1.2 might demand more resources. Analyze Splunkd logs for clues about resource-intensive operations. Index rebuilds or migrations: Upgrading might trigger index rebuilds or migrations, increasing CPU and memory usage temporarily. Configuration changes: Some 9.1.2 settings might differ from 8.2, impacting resource consumption. Review your splunkweb.conf and server.conf files. Hardware limitations: Ensure your server has sufficient CPU, RAM, and disk space to handle the upgraded version. Troubleshooting Steps: Analyze Splunkd logs: Look for errors or warnings related to high resource usage in splunkd.log. Monitor resource usage: Track CPU, memory, and disk I/O using Windows Performance Monitor or Splunk's built-in monitoring tools. Identify resource-intensive searches: Use the topsearch command in Splunk to see which searches consume the most resources. You can optimize or disable them if needed. Review Splunk configuration: Double-check your splunkweb.conf and server.conf settings for any performance-related changes introduced in 9.1.2.

However, these steps should guide you in the right direction. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there, Here are some workarounds: 1. Search by Index Name: Instead of relying on the app, explicitly specify the index name in your searches. This ensures you query the desired data regardless of app association. 2. Leverage Tags: Tag both indexes and apps with relevant keywords. Then, use the | where tag="app_tag" syntax in your searches to filter based on app association. 3. Utilize Search Macros: Create macros that predefine the index name and relevant filters for each app. This streamlines search creation and avoids repetitive typing. 4. Consider Alerting & Dashboards: For dashboards and alerts, you can set the index directly without relying on app association. This ensures they display data from the correct index. 5. Explore Custom Solutions: If these workarounds don't suffice, consider developing custom scripts or tools to manage index-app relationships in Splunk Cloud. Remember: While app-based index assignment isn't directly available, these workarounds provide flexibility for efficient searching and data handling. Consult Splunk documentation or community forums for more advanced solutions and best practices. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there, While there's no direct option for this, here are effective approaches: 1. Leverage CSS Media Queries: Within your dashboard's CSS file, add media queries that adjust panel sizes and layouts based on different screen widths. Use @media rules to target specific screen sizes or ranges. This approach offers fine-grained control over responsiveness, but requires CSS expertise. Example CSS: CSS @media (max-width: 768px) { /* Adjust panel widths, heights, and margins for smaller screens */ } @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) { /* Adjustments for medium-sized screens */ } /* Similar rules for larger screens */ Use code with caution. Learn more content_copy 2. Employ Splunk Dashboard Elements: Utilize elements like "Fit to Width" or "Fit to Height" panels to automatically resize content within specific panels. While not as comprehensive as CSS media queries, this method is easier to implement without coding. 3. Combine Both Approaches: For maximum flexibility, use CSS media queries for overall dashboard layout and Splunk elements for fine-tuning individual panels. Additional Tips: Set initial dashboard size that works well on most screens. Test your dashboard with different screen sizes and resolutions. Use Splunk's built-in responsive features like panel stacking and collapsible headers. Consider using a flexible CSS framework like Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS to streamline design and responsiveness. By implementing these strategies, you can create a user-friendly Splunk dashboard that adapts to various screen sizes, enhancing the user experience. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there, While Collectord annotations are great for parsing and modifying logs, achieving index routing requires additional configuration. Here's how you can achieve your goal: 1. Utilize Output Plugins: Within your pod configuration, define separate output plugins for standardIndex and specialIndex. This can be done using Fluentd or other log shippers depending on your setup. 2. Leverage Filters: Inside each output plugin, configure filters based on the extracted message content using regular expressions. These filters will determine which logs get routed to each index. 3. Example Configuration: Here's a simplified example demonstrating the concept:   spec: containers: - name: my-app image: my-app-image ... volumeMounts: - name: fluentd-conf mountPath: /etc/fluentd/conf.d ... volumes: - name: fluentd-conf configMap: name: fluentd-config fluentd-config/my-app.conf: source: type: tail format: json tag: app.my-app filter: # Route logs to standardIndex by default - match: ** type: label_rewrite key: index value: standardIndex # Route logs with specific messages to specialIndex - match: message: "(Error while doing the special thing)|(Starting to do the thing)|(Nothing to do but completed the run)|(Deleted \d+ of the thing)" type: label_rewrite key: index value: specialIndex output: # Define separate outputs for each index - match: index: standardIndex type: splunk host: splunk_server port: 8089 index: standardIndex ... - match: index: specialIndex type: splunk host: splunk_server port: 8089 index: specialIndex ...     Remember: Adjust the configuration to match your specific deployment and Splunk setup. Consider using tools like Fluent Bit for more advanced filtering and routing capabilities. Test your configuration thoroughly in a non-production environment before deploying to production. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there, Unfamiliar Link Layer: It seems your network interface (ens33) uses a link layer type that Splunk's Stream Forwarder doesn't recognize (code 253). Double-Check Interface: Make sure you've configured the Stream Forwarder to capture on the correct interface (ens33). Check inputs.conf settings. Kernel Module Issue: In rare cases, outdated kernel modules for your network interface can cause this error. Update your kernel or manually install necessary modules. Splunk Add-on Version: Consider upgrading the Splunk Add-on for Stream Forwarders to a newer version that might have better compatibility with your link layer type. Community Resources: Search Splunk documentation and community forums for solutions related to "unrecognized link layer" errors in Stream Forwarders. Remember: Back up your configurations before making changes. Test changes in a non-production environment. Provide more details about your setup if the above suggestions don't help. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there, Here's my take on your query: Least Privilege vs. Performance: Separate indexes: While ideal for least privilege, searching across multiple indexes impacts performance, especially with SmartStore's IOPS usage. Single index with access controls: Offers better performance but weakens least privilege. You could use ACLs or user roles to restrict data access within an index. Balancing Act: Data classification: Classify data into security levels (highly sensitive, sensitive, general). Implement least privilege based on these levels. Hybrid approach: Use separate indexes for highly sensitive data and combine lower-sensitivity data from multiple groups into a single, access-controlled index. Search optimization: Tune searches to target specific indexes and data types. Utilize summary indexes or distributed searches for broader queries. Scaling with Groups: Index replication: Replicate relevant data subsets to separate indexes for specific groups. This balances access control with performance. Splunk User Conductors: Leverages a central team to manage group data access and conduct privileged searches when needed. Invest in Splunk expertise: Consider consulting Splunk specialists for guidance on architecting a scalable and secure solution. Remember: There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Evaluate your specific security needs, data volume, and search requirements. Prioritize data security without sacrificing performance entirely. Find the right balance through a combination of strategies. Leverage Splunk documentation and community resources for best practices and expert insights.

Hi there, Eval Query for Limited Use: While eval queries can modify certain fields, unfortunately, deleting or closing notable events directly isn't possible with them. API Offers More Power: The Splunk Search API is your best bet for bulk actions like closing or deleting events. You can leverage the delete or set endpoints to achieve your goal. Filtering Still an Option: If using the API feels daunting, consider refining your dashboard/report queries to exclude events before the specific date. Filtering might be less efficient for massive datasets, but it's a reliable route. Remember: Deleting is permanent, closing retains some data. Choose wisely! Test your approach on a small sample before applying to all events.

Hi there, Global Rules vs. App-Specific: Cloned rules inherit the original rule's permission scope. Since you mentioned "global permissions (all apps)," they wouldn't show up under specific apps in Content Management. Search for Global Rules: Try searching for the rule names directly in the Content Management search bar. This should catch global rules regardless of their location. Alternative View: Navigate to Settings > Advanced Search > Manage Global Alerts/Dashboards/Reports. This section specifically lists globally-shared content. Remember: If you still can't find the rules, double-check their names and ensure they weren't accidentally deleted. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there,  Map User IDs: Create a lookup table or KV store to map the old AD user_ids to their corresponding friendly usernames (nicknames). Update Existing Objects: Use a search-and-replace command like | rename owner = lookup_username owner to update the owner field in existing knowledge objects. Adjust Searches and Apps: Modify searches and apps to use the realName field (mapped to nickname) for user-related actions. Handle New Objects: Configure Splunk to use the realName field as the owner field for new knowledge objects. Additional Tips: Test Thoroughly: Test the migration process with a small group of users before rolling it out fully. Backup Data: Always back up your Splunk data before making significant changes. Consult Documentation: Refer to Splunk and Auth0 documentation for specific configuration guidance. Consider Support: If you're unsure about any steps, reach out to Splunk or Auth0 support for assistance. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated

Hi there, 1. Isolate the Top 3: Add a dedup issuetype command after the head 10 to keep only unique issuetypes. Then, use head 3 to grab the first 3. 2. Create Individual Tokens: Use the fields command to extract each issuetype into a distinct field: | fields issuetype1=issuetype issuetype2=issuetype issuetype3=issuetype 3. Assign Tokens: In the Token configuration, select "Use search result as token." Map issuetype1 to <span class="math-inline">tokenfirst</span>, issuetype2 to <span class="math-inline">tokensecond</span>, and issuetype3 to <span class="math-inline">tokenthird</span>. Here's the full search string: index=..... ("WARNING -" OR "ERROR -") | rex field=_raw "(?<issuetype>\w+\s-\s\w+)\:" | stats count by application, issuetype | sort by -count | head 10 | dedup issuetype | head 3 | fields issuetype1=issuetype issuetype2=issuetype issuetype3=issuetype Now you can use those tokens in your other panels to display events for the top 3 issuetypes! Remember: Adjust the index and other search terms to match your specific data. If you encounter any issues, consult Splunk documentation or community forums for guidance. ~ If the reply helps, a Karma upvote would be appreciated
