Having the SPLUNK_HOME/etc/.ui_login file on the host DOES make the banner go away (as noted in the linked articles above). We did a bit of testing (since some of our servers had the file and others did not)... Logging in with a LOCAL account (non-LDAP/SAML/etc) automatically generates the .ui_login file.  Once we logged in with the LOCAL account, the .ui_login file existed and the "First time signing in?..." banner was gone. ...

We were able to find a temp fix... $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk-launch.conf has a setting PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY that allows for some additional security when setting it to 1 (part of the TLS security fixes from June 2022). Setting it to 0 (using the default value from $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk-launch.conf.default) causes the 'service unavailble' issues to go away when exporting. However, this is not the "FIX" for the issue... just a temp fix for your users while you (we?) try to figure out what the real issue is with the self-signed cert validation errors (the 'real' issue) in the logs. ...

Me again... While deploying this we noted that the TA-eStreamer/bin/encore/data/splunk directory being the data directory causes more problems than not. The newest problem being that the /bin directory is replicated, so if the heavy-forwarder has any searchpeers, it will cause bundle replication issues because Splunk will be attempting to replicate 200gb+ data directory all over the place. We have opted to move the data directory back to the old location of TA-eStreamer/data in the TA--eStreamer/bin/encore/estreamer.conf file.  This addresses the issues with: /bin/splencore.sh clean() location being incorrect /default/inputs.conf monitor location for data files being incorrect /bin/encore/data/splunk being 200gb+ causes replication issues if the hfw has any searchpeers   ...

I found one more thing today when I was testing the v4.0.11 update.  I noticed that the estreamer.conf process wasn't stopping when I stopped splunk and that the .pid file wasn't getting deleted when splunk stopped either.  It was almost like the estreamer process wasn't dependent on the splunk service. After running a diff command against the estreamer.conf from v3.6.8 and the new one for v4.0.11, I noticed that was exactly what happened.  The part of the script noting that it should be depending on splunk has been removed. Adding lines 2-4 back to the TA-eStreamer/bin/encore/estreamer.conf file re-added the splunk service dependency. { "conditions": [ "splunk" ], ... View more

I have become intimately familiar with the eStreamer TA over the last couple of years.  Let me see if I can help with some of these. setup.xml was removed in v4.0.x, so the configuration that was previously done with two passes through setup.xml in the GUI or TA-eStreamer/local/encore.conf now has to be done by manually editing the TA-eStreamer/bin/encore/estreamer.conf file, which is not nearly as easy-peasy as using the GUI. Packets, Connections, & Metadata (not mentioned earlier - but seems worth noting since it could be a data hog and is completely left out of the new instructions) In addition to manually enabling and setting the hosts in TA-eStreamer/bin/encore/estreamer.conf, you also have to manually enable/disable packets, connections, and metadata options that were previously available via checkboxes on the bottom of the setup page. packets are enabled by default - which could be problematic since packet data is quite large these options are in the "records" section of estreamer.conf as info, our previous configuration which had connections enabled, but packets and metadata disabled is below.   "records": { "connections": true, "core": true, "excl@comment": [ "These records will be excluded regardless of above (overrides 'include')", "e.g. to exclude flow and IPS events use [ 71, 400 ]" ], "exclude": [], "inc@comment": "These records will be included regardless of above", "include": [], "intrusion": true, "metadata": false, "packets": false, "rna": true, "rua": true } },     Data Directory Change (affects inputs.conf & clean() function of splencore.sh script) As noted above the data directory has changed to TA-eStreamer/bin/encore/data/splunk/ The filename format has also changed from encore.EPOCHTIME.log to encore.logEPOCHTIME There are multiple ways you can address this.  Either change where the data lives or point everything to the new locale. Change Where the Data Lives Update the "uri" in the "handler" section of TA-eStreamer/bin/encore/estreamer.conf back to the old value:   "uri": "relfile:///../../data/encore.{0}.log"   Update Where the App Looks Add a new monitor stanza in TA-eStreamer/local/inputs.conf for the new data path:   [monitor://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-eStreamer/bin/encore/data/splunk]   Update the path in the clean() stanza of the TA-eStreamer/bin/splencore.sh script to the new data path:   clean() { # Delete data older than 12 hours -> 720mins # find ../../data -type f -mmin +720 -delete # correcting path to new path in new version 4.0.11 of TA find $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-eStreamer/bin/encore/data/splunk -type f -mmin +720 -delete }     first_pkt_sec EVAL Error The EVAL statement triggering the error looks like it was a FIELDALIAS that someone switched over to an EVAL without actually switching it.   The culprit:   EVAL-first_pkt_sec = event_sec as first_pkt_sec​   The fancy EVAL we wrote to address this coalesces several time fields to ensure the 'first_pkt_sec' field gets populated.   EVAL-first_pkt_sec = coalesce(first_pkt_sec, connection_sec, event_sec)​   You could also accomplish this with a simple eval that will override the EVAL triggering the issue.   EVAL-first_pkt_sec = event_sec ​     Other Props Fixes We also noted that the search-time props had conflicting FIELDALIAS functions, no KV_MODE, and a few other things; so we added some additional flare to address those issues. Just in case this might also be helpful.   [cisco:estreamer:data] #### Setting the time format to epoch time (not set in TA) TIME_FORMAT = %s #### Setting KV_MODE #### KV_MODE = auto #### Splunk CIM - Intrusion Detection Fields #### EVAL-severity = coalesce(severity, priority) EVAL-signature = coalesce(case(signature="",null(),true(),signature), detection, msg) #### Splunk CIM - Malware Fields #### EVAL-url = coalesce(url, uri)     If it wasn't clear - the first_pkt_sec and "other props fixes" were all applied to our TA-eStreamer/local/props.conf file. ...

Yes, we did. We have been able to get it working like a champ. However, I would be a poor Splunk Admin if I didn't say this, as well: THIS IS HUGELY RESOURCE INTENSIVE. Ok.

We are having the same issue. Did you ever get this fixed? I've heard suggestions from someone that it could be the syslog message length is too short, but I cannot find any guidance from CyberArk for how to set that. Someone also suggested that it could be the UseLegacySyslogFormat parameter, but again - not sure what the current settings are and am not seeing much guidance one way or the other (except for this article and its unaccepted answer). Note - our events were correct at one time, but must have been borked with an upgrade or some other configuration change. However, we have also lost our CyberArk admin since then and the new admins are - new. ... View more

We had the same error, but with a totally different cause. When we deployed the bundle with the updated Splunk_TA_windows app from the Deployer to the Search Head Cluster, we used the "save lookups" option (as we always do) which caused the new lookup files not to be pushed to the SHC. We were unsure whether a redeployment without the save-lookups option would accidentally overwrite other lookup directories that SHOULD be saved, so we manually pushed the new Splunk_TA_windows/lookups directory to each of the SHC members. ...
