Is there a setting that stops the "AutomIatic lifetime extensions" (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.3/Search/Extendjoblifetimes) of scheduled searches?
We have some dashboard with scheduled searches , refreshed every x time, that are mainly used during business hours. so we scheduled them for only the business hours. Sometime someones need to look at the dash in the night.
To be sure, they see a recent result we changed the dispatch.ttl too 600 (normally its run every 5 minutes) . So if the last schedule would be @6 pm, the results should be gone @6:10 pm . If someone opens the dash @ 8pm, there aren't any results, and the search should run again.
Now the real problem, some people aren't closing the dashboard. So the last run (that was @ 6 pm) keeps getting extended! So if someone else needs to take a look at the dashboard it's displaying the last run!
So is there a setting to force the results to be deleted after x period?

So you want to see WHEN the event arrived at the indexer? So tou need the see the indextime index=your search | rename _indextime as indextime | eval indextime=strftime(indextime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") | table _time indextime _raw This shows: _time = time splunk thinks it is indexertime = time splunk saved thet data to disk _raw = the event

You can use the batch/sinkhole config to delete the file after (succesfully) sending the data. (add ACK to be sure the data is indexed). BUT.... you'll have to be 100% sure the application that is writing to the file (you delete) doens't crash when the file is suddenly "gone". Some appications don't create a new log file, if the original is removed when the appliaction is still running Usually the "data provider" needs to clean up there files.

So what is the internal log of the UF's telling? Do they try connect but it fails, or don't they even try. You state they connect 1 time and than it stops., what is strange. Check if you arn't pushing a deploymentclient.conf. And is the config you're pushing restarting the Forwarder? if yes: try changing your serverclass so it does not restart the UF, see if it keeps the conection (maybe something failes @ the restart)

Please check if your deployment server is not restarting/crashing. The deployment server won't show any UF clients if it just restarted. Only after de UF clients called home it will pop-up.

Did you get a solution for this? We are seeing the same thing. I did some tests and it looks like the following option in not set in the savedsearches.conf : action.email.sendresults = 1 It always is 0 (and doesnt send anything) whatever you select.

maybe, maybe not.
There is not much information you're giving us. Can your searches be summarized, or is it better to post-process your searches.
Or is the hardware the problem? What is the data volume, how many indexers, ect, ect

To "fix" it:
Use splunk_app_db_connect/bin/dbx2/jre_validator.py form version 3.1.4

You need to edit the authentication.conf, add enableRangeRetrieval = 1 to your LDAP settings
enableRangeRetrieval = <boolean>
* OPTIONAL
* The maximum number of values that can be retrieved from one attribute in a
single LDAP search request is determined by the LDAP server. If the number of
users in a group exceeds the LDAP server limit, enabling this setting fetches all
users by using the "range retrieval" mechanism.
* Enables result sets for a given attribute that exceed the maximum number of
values defined for the LDAP server.
* If set to false, ldap range retrieval is off.
* Default: false

oh you are renameing an index. So index=bla becomes index=testingbla ?
not sure if a cluster "likes" changing names of an index, and still can find the data
where did you place the "restored" data? did you place it in the thawed directory?
You could thy a rebuild, but you need too do this for every bucket !

We collect HEC on a heavy, and enable it in the following way
1) enable hec on the heavy splunk http-event-collector enable
2) push the rest of the setting By the deployment server.
So it the app isn't pushed, did you configure the serverclass?
Also please use a different app name, like 'splunk_httpinput-custom' so you're 100% sure it won't overwrite the settings on your heavy

1) How do you know stuff is missing?
2) are you missing a single index, or a certain time frame?
3) Why do you backup and restore data from 1 machine in your cluster? Wouldn't it be much simpelere too add a new machine and than remove the old one? Then splunk would take care of you repliaction.
Did you add you new server in the cluster pool?

They fixed some cron issues in v 7.2.3. So it could be your cron's a now behaving in an other way then before
Blockquote 2018-12-21 SPL-164242, SPL-164210 A search scheduled to run monthly or weekly may run daily. "Next Scheduled Time" is incorrect due to cron parsing issue
But it looks like they didn't fix it, or broke something else

We are running ES with the ess_admin user only, And it works!.
BUT you need to be sure there are no references to admin in de default.meta.
Some config is "owned by admin" and it will fail is tou don't remove is.
We run this to be sure admin is removed:
find . -type f -name default.meta -exec sed -i 's/owner = admin/#owner = admin/g' {} +
and
find . -name *.meta -type f -print | xargs sed -i '/^access/c\access = read : [ * ], write : [ ess_admin ]'

If you're not rolling your buckets every single day, it is hard to get the correct buckets of the system.
What I can think off you could do:
1) export the data (in _raw) and reindex it in your cluster OR
2) user the "|collect " command to move ONLY the data you need to a new index on your standalone server. And compy the complete directory of the new index to one of your cluster systems (data won't be replicated, i I remeber it well)

I always ask the customer, that creates dashboard with realtime searches, if they ever : look away from the screen, get something to drink, go too the bathroom, go out for lunch, ect, ect. If it's YES , they don't need realtime 🙂
For customers that creat relatime alerts, with email output. Just aks how often the check the mail. If the say "always", start emailing them in the weekend, and complain why did didn't respond within a few second
