Looking at it as every 3 hours from 7am to 10pm gets you * 7-21/3 * * *.  Change the first asterisk to a number (0-59) if you want the schedule to be once each hour rather than every minute.
The blacklist setting supports neither of those.  See my earlier reply for the list of supported keywords/fields.

Hi @PickleRick @gcusello    I was reading this reply and I am currently in need to set up this from your post. ============== Another relatively well working idea is to use Windows Event Forwarding (easy to set up in a domain environment, can be also confuigured in domainless setup but then it gets complicated but still possible) and pull windows from a central eventlog collector. I use it quite a lot. Be aware of possible performance issues as you scale horizontally too far. =========== Do you have any  guide/link which tells this step by step; how to setup WEF on two servers.

I need to use the German standard to display number 287.560,5 as a single value visualization  instead of the English format that uses a comma to separate thousands and a dot for decimal numbers — 287,560.8.   The solution that was described here did not help:  Decimal : how to use "," vs "." ? - Splunk Community When I look at the number before it is saved as a report in a dishboard, it does not have any commas. Could anyone help me with this question? At the moment, I just set the  "shouldUseThousandSeparators" in json  to false to remove the commas altogether. But I eventually want to use the dot for thousands and a comma for decimals for better legibility.  Thank you in advance

We have distributed Splunk Enterprise setup, we are trying to establish secure TLS communication between UF-> HF-> Indexer. We do have certificates configured for Search heads, Indexers and Heavy Forwarders. We have also opened required receiving ports on both Indexer and HF. On the other hand, we have around 200 UF's, can someone please tell me, if we need to generate 200 client certificates or we can use general certificate which we can deploy on all 200 UF's for establishing communication between UF and Indexers

can someone help me with this issue where splunk is reading the file, but 'adding' a information that is NOT in the original file.   If you search below index="acob_controls_summary" sourcetype=acob:json source="/var/log/acobjson/*100223*rtm*" |search system=CHE control_id=AU2_A_2_1 compliance_status=100% You will get two result, and mainly separated by “last_test_date” one showing "2023-10-02 15:42:30.784049" and other showing "2023-10-02 14:56:45.047265" ironically,   attached file is the SAME file (just changed the file name after copied onto my machine), that we are seeing from the splunk, yet there is only ONE entry which is the second the one "2023-10-02 14:56:45.047265 where does that “2023-10-02 15:42:30.784049” came from?   we have a cluster environment therefore many splunk-server auto creates but why is it making a new 'test date' which actually separates one entry into two, AND give one a good return yet another one with wrong info.

I'm not aware of such a document, but you can find the number of concurrent searches using the Monitoring Console (MC).  The maximum number of concurrent systems is 6+<numCPUs>.  That formula can be modified using limits.conf settings, but is good for most environments. If you see errors in the MC about searches being skipped because the maximum number of concurrent searches has been reached then you are not under-utilizing your server.  Try re-distributing your scheduled searches so fewer are running at the same time.  After that, if you still see the error then you are over-using the server and need more CPUs (or fewer searches). If there are times when the server is not running any searches, then you are under-using it at those times.  The CPUs need to be available for times when searches run, however. Perhaps you need lower-powered CPUs rather than fewer CPUs.

I see a few problems here. 1. The blacklist1 setting is not in the proper format.  It must be a list of event IDs or a keyword followed by "=" followed by a regular expression. 2. The regex shown is trying to match XML, but the sample event is not in XML. 3. The regex is looking for text ("4688", "MsSense.exe", "TaniumCX.exe") that is not in the sample event. Any of these would cause the blacklist to fail.  To fix them: 1. Put the blacklist1 setting in an expected format. 2. Examine the log entry as Splunk sees it (_raw) rather than as shown by another program (which may have changed it for display purposes). 3. Ensure the regex matches the sample data.

With Splunk there is no way to delete data from the index other than the normal rolling oldest buckets to frozen. There is the "delete" command but it doesn't actually delete the data from the index files (since the index files are immutable after creation and may be - as mentioned above - only rolled as a whole) but it marks that data as not searchable. That's one of the reasons why you should test your configurations - especially the input-related elements - in a dev/test environment before deploying it to production.
The section of the troubleshooting guide your refer to is wrong in fixing this app's issue with respect to the certificates.  That section refers to splunk server side authentication not the app.
