I recently tested an upgrade from Splunk Enterprise 9.2.4 to 10.2.1 and encountered a few hurdles that led to a specific UI issue. I'm looking for the best practice to resolve this or if there's a known fix for the following scenario: The Upgrade Process: Upgraded from 9.2.4 to 10.2.1. Encountered the new restriction where Splunk won't start as root when using privileged ports (I was previously using web-port 443). Migrated the service to run as the 'splunk' user. Changed ownership of the entire $SPLUNK_HOME to the 'splunk' user ( chown -R splunk:splunk ). Updated web.conf to use port 8443 instead of 443. The Issue: Splunk starts successfully, but now all Saved Searches and Alerts are "grayed out" in the Web UI. I can see the search strings, but I cannot modify the query or any alert actions via the Edit button. Questions: Did the migration from root to the 'splunk' user miss a specific metadata flag that causes the UI to lock these objects? What is the recommended way to "un-gray" these searches without manually recreating them? Any insights or best practices for this 9.x to 10.x migration path would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.   ... View more

Hello,   I created a dashboard with a table and multiple charts. After the table query is finished, I create a token ($job.sid$). Then, I use this token for the other charts (loadjob command). I noticed that after the table loads completely, the charts begin loading data. Sometimes the charts load quickly, and sometimes they load very slowly. After changing the charts to use the full query instead, they always load quickly. Why is that? I thought that loading data from the table and using it in the charts would be better. ... View more
