If you’re unable to upgrade Splunk Enterprise from 10.2.1 to 10.2.2/10.2.3 on Windows Server 2019, the issue is usually related to permissions, running services, or compatibility checks. First, make sure Splunk services are fully stopped before starting the upgrade. Run the installer as Administrator and verify that no files are locked. Also, check available disk space and confirm that your system meets the version requirements. If the problem continues, review Splunk logs (like splunkd.log) for errors or try a clean install over the existing version. Just like resolving technical issues requires the right steps, staying informed about opportunities like apna ghar program shehbaz sharif can also help you make better decisions in practical life. ...

You'll need to adjust the setting in web-features.conf. There is no UI in 9.4 to adjust these settings. Here is the specific stanza you'll need to set: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.2.1/Admin/Web-featuresconf?_gl=1*1oicprk*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NTg1NTY2NzkuQ2owS0NRanc1OFBHQmhDa0FSSXNBRGJEaWx4bHdncGt2SUk3RzJaRDNkdDJkVVdobXlwQnFYN2tfOUJjX2w0RUVkM1dtV19aY1NrRXZ5TWFBdlk4RUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*MTcxODg1Mzg2NS4xNzYwOTg4MjIwLjc0MjA4Mjk3Ni4xNzY1MzkzODg3LjE3NjUzOTM4ODc.*FPAU*MTcxODg1Mzg2NS4xNzYwOTg4MjIw*_ga*MTUyMTM1MDM1OC4xNzUwMjc5NzA1*_ga_5EPM2P39FV*czE3NjU4MTYxODckbzIxOCRnMCR0MTc2NTgxNjE4NyRqNjAkbDAkaDEwNTAyNjQ2NTc.*_fplc*SW5KUjh4ek5Yc3JzbHZxdW1XNUxmTGdPOEhXNUIlMkY0a0sxJTJCbFc1Y3huRlk0eEJ0cU5hNDJORmc3ZVdTQ1FUZ0pmTFl3SXZlY0VscERCdUdpa2YlMkJhZjklMkI4Z0xoVk41TTJpS0JPd3ZkTnlsOXVMRmNzWUFhRUhjaFhGOEZEVkElM0QlM0Q.#.5Bfeature:dashboards_csp.5D:~:text=enable_dashboards_redirection_restriction%20%3D%20%3Cboolean%3E%0A*%20Whether,URL.%0A*%20Default%3A%20true   If this still doesn't work, then you can open a ticket with support to investigate why it's not working in your environment.  ...

Summarize and finishing this post: After installing Splunk Ent v9.3.2 the initial problems were solved. After that it appears that Splunk Secure Gateways did not connect anymore (Splunk Mobile) Had contact with Splunk about this. After some back and forth copying of backup directories and running repair, chaning app.cong files etc, SSG became connected again. The main reason why I want to upgrade were some new features that were mentioned to be available in Dashboard Studio. Unfortunately, now the present Dashboard Studio (version 1.15.3 under v9.3.2)  has some other issues, like: eg background color shows black instead of transparent (on mobile/table), big-font size 22+ text is unreadable small in Markdown (on mobile/tablet), using title color is  neither working as I expected... Nb. besides the fact that also the new tab feature was already noted not to work in this version including next version  v9.4.0. so I understand. So here I close this post and will create a new post next year about Dashboard Studio. In the meantime waiting for an update to v9.4.X  @all, have a great new year 2025! AshleyP ... View more

Update: Had a session today with O365 support about message in python.log: (posted before) SendAsDenied; ticket@eremote.nl not allowed to send as Splunk_eRemote@uBDC01;" Answer: As discussed on the call, the bounceback (NDR report) you received shows that your office 365 account (ticket@eremote.nl) is not allowed to send email as Splunk_eRemote@uBDC01. This shows that there is a setting in Splunk that is preventing this action. And like I mentioned on the call, from Microsoft 365 perspective, email relayed is allowed and that is why you can send normal email from the application, and it delivers. De 'Splunk_eRemote@uBDC01'  comes from the SMTP-server settings in Splunk: Note: 1) We use O365 and some 4-5 months ago we stepped over from a personal account to a shared account (but did not notice the defect in the Alerting_email_function, just last week :-(. As Sendemail was working in Dasboards and in SPL code as expected. 2) We now use a shared mailbox under O365, which means you can not use any Alias. Before we could. 3) Using my personal account (with Alias's) is 2FA and is not possible according to O365 support. 4) Last week tried many things -including different fields A en B, without succes. Also tested it with use of a GMAIL account, no succes either. 5) Yesterday (Sunday) rebooted our W2029 server as part of our weekly maintenance schedule,  Today I found out: Note: Field A (username) must be same as SendAS (in the past we used only the word "Splunk" in field B) Also note that keeping the B feidl empty it does a discovery and comes up with "Splunk@uBDC01"  so it appears.  Now it is working again (in test) with field-A = field-B! (what is de use? apperantly only working in combination with personal-account and proper Alias, I conclude) I will close this post now and thank you for the repsonse PickeRick :-)! AshleyP ...

Completely ridiculous, at Nov-2023 on Splunk Enterprise v91.1.1 still an issue installing Python for Scientific Computing (for Windows 64-bit), even after change setting upload limit in web.conf as documented # Default is to allow files up to 500MB to be uploaded to the server # change this in local/web.conf if necessary # max_upload_size = 500. max_upload_size = 5000.

Hi @apietersen and @templets, This option adds the given time to all login responses to help mitigate login timing attacks. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.1/Admin/Authenticationconf#Settings_for_Splunk_Authentication_mode  constantLoginTime = <decimal> * The amount of time, in seconds, that the authentication manager waits before returning any kind of response to a login request. * This setting helps mitigate login timing attacks. If you want to use the setting, test it in your environment first to determine the appropriate value. * When you configure this setting, a login failure is guaranteed to take at least the amount of time you specify. The authentication manager adds a delay to the actual response time to keep this guarantee. * The values can use decimals. "0.025" would make responses take a consistent 25 milliseconds or slightly more. * This setting is optional. * Minimum value: 0 (Disables login time guarantee) * Maximum value: 5.0 * Default: 0   ...

This exception is raised when the server unexpectedly disconnects, or when an attempt is made to use the python mail SMTP instance before connecting it to a server. Clients sending outgoing mail should connect on port 587 and use starttls. To use port 465, you need to call smtplib.SMTP_SSL(). Currently, it calls smtplib.SMTP() .. so,change your PORT from 465 into 587 it. Also, you'll need to send the ehlo command before the starttls command, then again after the starttls command.   ...

Ok after creating a support ticket, restarted and rebooted several times, disabling Dashboard_example app, run the splunk7.2.0.msi repair over it. My Splunk behaves as expected again. Splunk Splunk Support assumed that the dashboard.css was overwritten somehow by the dashboard.css of the Dashboard_example app. What could explain what has happend. Apperently, during my testing with the Dashboard_example 7.2.0 app and trying to build a new dashboard in the Search app I might have of accidently copied the dashboard.css of the Dashboard_example app (located in C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\simple_xml_examples\appserver\static) in to Search app under directory: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/appserver/static.
