I witnessed the same where someone installed 7.0.x and couldn’t reset admin pw by removing passwd and restarting. I didn’t have much time to diagnose and recommended a reinstall.
It wasn’t recreating the passwd file. It was windows as well.

Hey,
this regex should match those kind of events pretty well:
\s?([^\s,]+)\s([^\s,]+)(?:,|$)
regex101.com link
You could then create a stanza in props.conf for your sourcetype/host/source to match, and have it include:
REPORT-ntpevents = ntpevents
Then have transforms.conf like
[ntpevents]
REGEX = \s?([^\s,]+)\s([^\s,]+)(?:,|$)
MV_ADD = true
FORMAT = $1::$2
Hope that helps!

@mfrost8, If you need to customize the start date and end date for a period or multiple periods, your option would be to pass startdate and increment parameters to gentimes as per your need. For two period it will will be 2*28=56d . I would say your specific customization should still be possible around the run anywhere example provided above. Hope this helps!

Hey, just check this part of the docs for the right configuration:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.0/Data/Configuretimestamprecognition
Especially the Edit timestamp properties in props.conf part will tell you how to use TIME_FORMAT and TIME_PREFIX to get your log set up.

looks like a config issue.
the HEC token is either incorrect or does not have write access to jenkins_console, or jenkins_console index doesn't exist at all

The issue was it was stuck in ingestion queue. I changed how it acted when the file was in use in my inputs and props and it appears to be working now.

Thanks @woodcock !
Although they say in the blog post that the issue was resolved post version 4.3 I've just faced it with version 6.6.3.
Adding the fields.conf resolved the problem.

Just be careful with maxHotSpanSecs with its default of 7776000 - 90 days! one major objective is to have fewer buckets as possible and this value helps in this regard. If you reduce it and the flow of data into this index is relatively low, you can create lots of small buckets, that the OS might not like.

Just wondering - with SHOULD_LINEMERGE set to false, shouldn't it create single-line events and not merge at all, no matter if it finds a timestamp or not?

You might be able to figure something out by writing those bad IPs to a lookup (using |outputlookup append=true) including a timestamp, and also call the REST API to block them.
You could then regularly search through that lookup, filter on entries older than 15 minutes, and have another alert action on those to have the REST API unblock them, and also drop them from the lookup.
Not exactly a complete solution, but you should be able to figure something out using those idea 😉
Hope that helps - if it does I'd be happy if you would upvote/accept this answer, so others could profit from it. 🙂

you could take the sections of props and transforms from GitHub and integrate them within your copy of Splunk_TA_windows or create your own app, drop the files in it's default folder, and then make sure the objects are accessible to all and global. I would recommend challenging yourself take it the rest of the way!

0 events before and after hitting curl
My asumption is I am not getting any Configure Receiver in 'Forwarding and receiving' section.
I think data is not going to splunk.
I checked sending data with forwarder also, but no luck
