Hello All, Splunk Enterprise version 8.1 Post a recent server crash, our Splunk instance isn't coming up.  The splunk service isn’t’ starting despite us having gracefully rebooted the server once. The error is it thinks TCP port 8089 is already occupied by splunk itself despite splunk service not running. Pls see below output.   Even if I force kill the process ID related to 8089/TCP,  the system automatically spawns a new process ID  and shows 8089 as occupied yet again by splunkd.  This is going in an endless loop.  There is nothing in splunkd.log file to indicate this weird behavior. What is making splunk launch a new process automatically despite us force killing the PID ? I have tried https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-resolve-error-quot-ERROR-The-mgmt-port-8089-is-already/m-p/357386  but no luck. As mentioned we even restarted the host.       [svc-splunk@hostname bin]$ ./splunk status splunkd is not running. [svc-splunk@hostname bin]$ ./splunk start Splunk> The Notorious B.I.G. D.A.T.A.

Hi, I need to report on when a Notable alert was changed from the default "unassigned" status to " Acknowledged" status and from Acknowledged to "Resolved" along with the time difference it took between each status.  Basically, we are trying to create a dashboard of all alerts whose SLA was missed. We have an SLA for 10 mins for a notable alert to be picked up,  meaning an analyst should change its default "unassigned" status to " Acknowledged" status.  Likewise,  there is SLA for 30 mins to further change from Acknowledged to Resolved.  Running the following query, Splunk shows the _time value for each alert when it was Acknowledged and when Resolved.   But it does NOT show when the alert was triggered/generated.   So that does not leave me with any starting point to compare against.     | `incident_review` | table _time rule_id rule_name owner reviewer status_label | where _time > relative_time(now(),"-1d@d") | eval Status_Time=strftime(_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")     Output: _time rule_id rule_name owner reviewer status_label 07 July 2022 08:00:00 xxxxx AWS001_xx John John Acknowledged 07 July 2022 08:10:00 xxxxx AWS001_xx John John Resolved 07 July 2022 08:01:00 yyyyy AWS002_xx Jerry Jerry Acknowledged 1)  How can i compose a query to show me list of all alerts (rule_name) which were acknowledged more than 10 mins late and resolved more than 30 mins late ? I am assuming this will involve some eval  logic to calculate difference between acknowleged_time minus Triggered_time and checking if the difference is > 10 mins . If it is, then eval SLA_status = breached else SLA_Status= met .   Likewise for resolved_time as well. I am assuming a lot of you ES folks must be doing this kind of SLA metrics tracking some way or other.  Kindly assist. Thanks in advance ... View more

Hello, Like any other ES user, we have threat intel feeds configured that came along with box.  How can i view the actual data of this threat intel feed ?   For example:   Lets take the cisco_top_one_million_sites OR  emerging_threats_ip_blocklist  sources.
