The following Bug had been logged with Product Management to clarify whether it was a Bug.
SOLNESS-19368 iplocation has a field called 'lon' in Splunk and 'long' in Enterprise Security
The response from Product Management (who confirmed it is not a Bug) is below:
CIM uses "long", but Splunk Enterprise's geo-location search command outputs "lon".
So the discrepancy itself is expected, we just missed the conditional eval component to align things properly.

There is a BUG in the DA-ESS-ThreatIntelligence app.
In the Datamodel under Threat Intelligence > IP Intelligence there is a field named “long” this field is supposed to hold the longitude of the IP address in the “ip” field.
Given the base search the field should be called “lon” because that is the field that the “iplocation” command outputs OR a rename should be done in the search to rename “lon” to “long”.
The problem found in DA-ESS-ThreatIntelligence 4.5.0 and above (all versions including the latest).

Example implementation:
[role_ninja]
srchIndexesAllowed = *
srchIndexesDenied = private_index;super_ninjas_only

We had to shut down one of the machines and create a new one. The cluster replication between the new and old ones does not work after a reboot.

The actual input stanza in the Universal Forwarder for WinRegistry is: WinRegMon
Therefore, to disable WinRegistry input, please make changes to the following stanzas within
your etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf on your Windows Universal Forwarder(s) that
are sending out WinRegistry data to the indexers.
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf [WinRegMon://hklm_run]
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf disabled = 1
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf hive = \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\.*
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf index = windows
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf proc = .*
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf type = set|create|delete|rename
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf [WinRegMon://hkcu_run]
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf disabled = 1
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf hive = \REGISTRY\USER\.\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\.
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf index = windows
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf proc = .*
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf type = set|create|delete|rename
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf [WinRegMon://default]
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf disabled = 1
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf hive = .*
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf index = windows
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf proc = .*
../etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf type = rename|set|delete|create
So basically 'disabled = 0' switches it on and 'disabled = 1' switches it off.
To stop WinRegistry set 'disabled = 1'.
I note on the Splunk Server 'splunk' it is already disabled within
etc/apps/Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf.
Please make the changes above then restart your universal forwarder.

Support logged a Bug with Development and it was confirmed as a Bug. After Splunk 4.7.x
SA (Security Add on)/DA (Domain Add on) apps were disabled before the post-installation setup.
During the 5.1.1 upgrade SAs were re-enabled, but DAs were not.
SOLNESS-17018 Navigation: Splunk ES 5.1.1 not showing most of the dashboards after migration from 4.7.1
The solution is to re-enable all DAs (Domain Add ons).
To re-enable apps click "Manage Apps" from the app dropdown on the navigation bar in ES or
navigate to https://examplehost.splunk.com:8000/en-US/manager/SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite/apps/local
(Replace: examplehost.splunk.com with the name of your host).

Splunk Enterprise is migrated from 6.5.3 to 7.1.2 and also Splunk Enterprise Security App
has been upgraded from 4.7.1 to 5.1.1.
After the upgrade, most of the navigational dashboards are not visible anymore.
For example, inside Enterprise Security under Security Intelligence, you will see “Risk Analysis”,
“Protocol Intelligence”, “Threat Intelligence”, “User Intelligence” and “Web Intelligence”.
Now, after upgrade to 5.1.1, inside Enterprise Security Under Security Intelligence I can only see
“Risk Analysis”. I can only see that for Security Domains as well. “Identity” are not visible anymore.

Concerning the '/brokers/ids' error you should not run:
/opt/caspida/bin/Caspida start
Instead, run:
/opt/caspida/bin/Caspida start-all
'caspida start' is usually used against an individual service name.
The documentation for this is included below for your future reference.
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UBA/4.1.2/Install/DeploymentArchitecture
An * indicates services that are started with the caspida start command and stopped with the caspida stop command. To start or stop all services, use caspida start-all or caspida stop-all.
e.g.
3 servers
postgresql
caspida-jobagent*
hive-metastore
influxdb
impala-server
impala-catalog
impala-state-store
caspida-jobmanager*
etc.

Splunk handles timezones with the following order:
(1) A time zone indicator in the raw event data e.g. -800, GMT-8 or PST
(2) The value of a TZ attribute set in props.conf
* Checks the host, source or sourcetype stanzas
* If a forwarder is used, the forwarder-provided time zone is used
e.g.
[host::myserver*]
TZ = Europe/Moscow
[source::/mnt/eu_east/*]
TZ = Europe/Volgograd
(3) If all else fails, Splunk applies the timezone of the indexer's host server.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
So in the meantime you just need to use a timezone (close to Turkey) that has +03:00 all year around until a patch has been created.
CC* Coordinates* TZ* Comments* UTC offset UTC DST offset Notes
RU +554521+0373704 Europe/Moscow MSK+00 - Moscow area +03:00 +03:00
RU +4844+04425 Europe/Volgograd MSK+00 - Volgograd, Saratov +03:00 +03:00

A similar question was asked by a customer who uses a Norwegian Keyboard (below):
https://www.datacal.com/image/popup?imagePath=%2fimages%2fproduct%2flarge%2f310.jpg
There is a §| key above the Tab key (left of the 1) and that produces the \ character within Splunk.
Pressing Ctrl+§| enables Search Bar formatting in Splunk 6.5.x. This was confirmed to work by the customer.
That is the same physical location of the ^ character on a German T2 Keyboard

Consulted Development to see if any of the keys in the branch that you had exported were in a non-standard format (as this affects the ability for the Splunk installer to complete the installation).
When upgrading a Universal Forwarder or Splunk Enterprise if the hexadecimal value after HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products is not 32 hexadecimal characters the Splunk installer will report an error. It performs this check as part of the upgrade.
In the example below, there is a rogue character _.
Output:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\C173E5AD3336A8D3394AF65D2BB0CCE6_]
Use the Windows PowerShell to see if you have the issue:
Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products | Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch '\[0-9A-F]{32}$' } | Select-Object Name
Please take a backup of the key above (by exporting it to a file), then delete the branch within the registry.
If you have multiple hosts you can use the link below which can help automate the deletion process.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/310516/how-to-add--modify--or-delete-registry-subkeys-and-values-by-using-a
Ensure the existing Splunk installer is no longer running.
Development are working to make future releases of the installer work around those registry entries.
