Thanks to reddit user u/chadbaldwin who pointed out that the fault was in using `Write-Host` rather than `Write-Output`; whereas `Write-Host` isn't something Splunk is able to capture. Replaced the script to use `Write-Output` and it's now working.

In inputs.conf - Splunk Documentation, it says [powershell://<name>]
schedule = [<positive integer>|<cron schedule>]
* How often to run the specified PowerShell command or script.
* You can specify a number in seconds, or provide a valid cron
schedule.
* Default: Runs the command or script once, at startup.

Do you happen to know if Cisco Meraki syslog, especially Flows and URLs have bytes in and bytes out? We're logging Meraki and there's no field whatsoever for bytes. Is it something that can be configured from Meraki logger console? Or the actual solution itself don't record that?

Network team confirms that the traffic couldn't return back to the source due to routing issue. The traffic from the src to dest via port 9997 ends only in the first SYN and the ACK couldn't go back.

Found one evidence that problem is network. At least, finally, I have proof that the network team has to fix it. Basically, I ran a network search from multiple srcs in the same subnet towards the HF:9997. And displayed the bytes_in. This one UF that I have a problem with has bytes_in=0. And the rest has bytes_in comparable to bytes_out. SPL: sourcetype=pan:traffic src=10.68.x.x/16 dest=10.68.p.q dest_port=9997 | stats sparkline(sum(bytes_out)) as bytes_out sparkline(sum(bytes_in)) as bytes_in sum(bytes_in) as total_bytes_return by src dest dest_port This SPL returns hundreds of rows and when I sort by total_bytes_return, there's a flat line for bytes_in and 0 for the field total_bytes_return for this UF in concern. I can sleep now and pass this over to network team.

the splunkd.log is from UF - my bad for erroneously writing "HF's splunkd.log" on the caption. The UF can't complete the 9997 to the HF despite all evidence (at network level). - 9997 is allowed - Firewall logs show traffic is allowed - Other UFs with same IP subnet can do the 9997 no problem (e.g. all UFs: 10.68.0.0/16, dest HF: 10.68.2.2:9997) Why other UFs can, e,g. 10.68.10.10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and many more ---> 10.68.2.2:9997 == OK but this particular one 10.68.10.16 ---> 10.68.2.2:9997 == results to "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." and "The TCP output processor has paused the data flow. Forwarding to host_dest=10.68.2.2"

I have a UF that's configured to forward to a healthy intermediate HF (9997) . The UF is producing "forcibly closed" errors but the HF is healthy and is accepting TCP 9997 from other UFs. What could be the reason for this? Troubleshooting attempts made: 1. Confirming with network team that rules are in place. 2. TCP Dump from the dest (HF), packets received. 3. Telnet from UF to dest (9997), telnet completes. Any other things I missed? tcpdump from the HF HF's splunkd.log

Make sure KV Store is enabled (splunk show kvstore-status). I spent 4 hours trying to figure out what's wrong with my instance. Nothing in Splunk docs says that Splunk DB Connect requires KV Store to be enabled.

ChatGPT's response to my question: ``` In Splunk, it is not possible to re-assign the ownership of a calculated field via the WebUI. This is because calculated fields are owned by the user who creates them, and the ownership cannot be transferred to another user. The reason for this is that calculated fields are considered a type of saved search, and saved searches are owned by the user who creates them. Saved searches are a fundamental component of Splunk, and they play a vital role in many different aspects of the product. As a result, the ownership of saved searches is tightly controlled to ensure that users have full control over their own searches and are not able to access or modify the searches of other users. If you want to transfer ownership of a calculated field to another user, you will need to delete the calculated field and have the other user create a new calculated field with the same definition. Alternatively, you could share the calculated field with the other user, which would allow them to use it in their own searches and dashboards, but not to modify or delete it. ```

Working on a SplunkCloud environment - we always keep things tidy by re-assigning ownership of KOs to either Nobody or the correct user with correct role. But why can't we do this for Calculated Fields?

Hi Linux Experts! Need help on a script that I'm working on to log sudo-enabled users. The script that I'm using is below #!/bin/sh
getent passwd | cut -f1 -d: | xargs -L1 sudo -l -U | grep -v 'not allowed' It is a `.sh` file that's ran once a day. The corresponding output is then parsed and massaged by some SEDCMD stuff, not relevant here. This way, I can see which users are able to perform sudo on the machine. Note: I am aware of the `usersWithLoginPrivs.sh` but this includes users that I'm not interested. Hence the custom script. If there's another solution you can share, that'd be great. But here's my PROBLEM: linux admins are complaining that they're getting messaged because `splunk` user that runs this script is generating messages for them. And they don't want to get the messages. So, they suggested to append this command at the end of the script: > /dev/null 2>&1 which I did. However, it does not print output anymore for those Splunk UFs that previously were able to. Yes, the main solution to this problem is to give `splunk` user permission to run the script. But due to the complexity of our organization, we can't request the same thing across the board. So, basically, of the thousands of linux servers that we have some can run this script, some cannot. That's currently okay. But to those that cannot, I'd like to modify the script in such a way that it will still work the same but will not produce any error. Is there any alternative?

Is it necessary to put `shebang` on custom Python script that will be executed by `splunk`? The reason why I ask is because `shebang` is `#!/usr/local/bin/python` but we know that Spunk uses the one $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/python3. Thanks in advance.

The SplunkWorks-built TA called Splunk Add-on for Cisco FireSIGHT said in the description that it is able to parse NGIPS logs. But upon inspection of the `props.conf`, it doesn't have sourcetype for NGIPS. Which should I use? I tried the `cisco:sourcefire` but it's not working.

After a successful saved-search run, the results can be found on the directory `$SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/dispatch/scheduler__...` We know that the result of the search is named `results.csv.gz` How do we read this in the OS level apps? Untarring it using `tar -xzvf` does not work. Thanks

Hi Community, I'm no Windows expert and just trying to tune an alert that we have in place. It's firing whenever a UF that has `admon` has stopped sending `admon` logs. But I just noticed that `admon` logs can have similar `dcName` in multiple UFs. For example, a UF that's meta host is "serverA" sends `admon` logs for dcName="serverDC". And UF that's meta host is "serverB" also sends `admon` logs for dcName="serverDC". Would it be reasonable to just replace the host of the UF with the value for dcName under the ActiveDirectory props.conf stanza? Thanks.
