I'm using the Webtools Add-on to do a get request for each row on a keyword field but combine the curl results with the initial data. Ie the initial data returns _time, keyword, hostname, etc and the curl request returns curl_message, curl_status,etc and I want my final table to be _time,keyword,hostname,curl_message,curl_status . Right now I'm able to get the curl response using the map search="uri=.../$keyword$ " but that only returns the curl output.  I do see that you can use datafield without a map command to do multiple curl requests (|curl uri=... datafield=keyword) and it would have the my desired output but that made the uri look like this uri=.../?keyword. I need the uri to look like uri=.../keyword instead.  Any help/tips would be appreciated. ... View more

I see in the docs splunk doc that summary indexing does not count against your license. It also says that summary indexes are built via transforming searches over event data.  If I use a scheduled report that does not use a transforming command and saves the data to an index will that count against the license? Ie I want to extract a subset of data from the main index and save certain fields to a new index so that a role doesn't have access to all the data. ... View more

I want to create a 30 day index of data that changes it's indexed timestamp as each day passes. Therefore the data will always show up when I do a last 30 day search and don't need to pick out the specific 30 days I saved. Ie if I started with January data, in June 1st the original data from January should represent the month of May. Is there any way to change the time of the data in the index every day? Or does it have to be deleted from index and readded?  ... View more

I have one user out of many that gets a red triangle error on a dashboard panel inside an app that uses a subsearch and gives the error:  [subsearch): [name] Search process did not exit cleanly, exit code=255, description="exited with code 255". Please look in search.log for this peer in the Job Inspector for more info. However if I copy the dashboard to the default search app the user does not get the error anymore. Any thoughts on why the behavior changes depending on the app the dashboard is in? I checked the search.log for error messages but there were none ... View more

I created a search head and an indexer and the search head is acting as the master license server. I added the tutorial data to the search head https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.1/SearchTutorial/GetthetutorialdataintoSplunk  The indexer is associated with the master license server. On the search head I am getting the license error of 1 orphaned indexer reported by 1 indexer and the message is "this slave indexed data/sourcetype(s) without a corresponding license pool" and the indexer is the master license server and category is orphan_slave.  I read in other answers related to this that the sourcetypes need to be in a license pool. I added the two host of the search head and indexer to the license pool via the specific indexers option however I am still getting the same error. Will this error go away or am I still in violation? ... View more

I would like to display a table and have the ability to give the data a category via an input field. So each row would have its own input field for the user to enter a value into it. For example the data could be something like this where the category column is the input field. I want to put the brand of the car in the category field and save it to a lookup table.  |Car|Category| |Prius | Toyota| |Mustang | Ford | ... View more

I am trying to set up a restricted search for a role so that they can only see data when a field1=customer01. The default way was to do it by field1::customer01 but that didn't show any results when I previewed the results. Instead I did field1=customer01 and that worked. Is there a reason why field1::customer01 doesn't generate any results? ... View more

I have a dashboard that uses joins with subsearches and when it runs for me and others it shows no errors. But for a few people when they run it, it runs/completes but has the red warning error with a message like [subsearch] search process did not exit cleanly exit code=255. When I inspect the job it says this  "[subsearch]: No matching fields exist."  I'm confused why this warning isn't showing up from everyone. Is there a way to ensure this message doesn't show up?  ... View more
