Thank you all for this thread!   I've been working on Splunk for close to 10 years and JUST ran into this today for the first time and thought I was losing my mind because I can't find any record of etc/system/default/deploymentclient.conf on any of my systems.     Thank you for confirming that I'm not the only one thinking this is really, really weird but seems "normal"   ...

Again, to avoid confusion of future readers and stress woodcook's point: One instance of Splunk can fulfill multiple roles! So to have one Splunk instance act i.e. as license master, cluster master and DMC you do not have to install 3 instances! Instead you configure the necessary stuff for the 3 roles on the same instance. There's some role Splunk tells you not to combine them (i.e. Cluster Master and Deplyoment). But generally this works like a charm while installing 3 instances on the same server is definitively a mess and 3 VMs would be unnecessary and lot of overhead (ressource- and managment-wise). ...

Hi nbayko, Setting replication factor depends on many factors. is yours a multi-site or are you running it as a single site cluster? how many sites involved in the cluster. What is your high-availability requirements? With a replication_factor=3 with 2 sites (origin:2, total:3) seems like working fine in many cases as it provides site level HA and this is just an example. Increasing replication factor also comes with the cost of storage. So you need to check and validate your requirements with the settings you have. For the detailed analysis on multi-site and how the replication_factor setting comes into an action, you can refer to the below link. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.6.2/Indexer/Sitereplicationfactor ...

Hi pil321, I usually use sourcetype in filters to be sure that it runs!

DEST_KEY = queue FORMAT = indexQueue [set_nullqueue] REGEX=(192\.168\.1\.1)|(,123,) DEST_KEY=queue FORMAT=nullQueue Bye. Giuseppe ... View more

There is no overlap between msta and mstb clusters. All the VM names are correct (as well as the names within the Splunk instance). I have built the clusters but not defined any indexes yet. The GUI in the cluster, msta, shows the correct indexer peers (idxa and idxc) and search head (splunka) The GUI in the cluster, mstb, shows the correct index peer (idxb) and two search heads (mstb and splunkb). If i was getting similar behavior in both clusters it would not cause concern. ... View more

If there is anybody still looking at finding an alternative for using commas in a csv lookup file, because they CAN'T use commas, because their fields contain commas, GOOD NEWS: You can use quotes as text delimiters and commas as field delimiters in the following fashion: "field1","field2" "example1, that contains commas","something" "example2","" "","example3" Splunk correctly extracts field value pairs! ...

rangineniarunkumar, Are you troubleshooting the migrated data to the new instance? or the new data flowing into the new instance? I would go through the instance and see what settings the old instance is running. splunkdata system/local etc/apps etc/deployment-apps (if it is all one single system does everything?) If this instance configurations managed from a deployment-server, then you can point the new instance to deployment-server and that will take care of some of the configurations. If this also a search head, then check all your dashboards etc. to see if any hard coded urls with your old hostname etc. ... View more

Check the documentation for the "mode" setting in the inputs.conf, in the past changing to "online" mode helped a bit. Also check the no-resolve as this takes up the cycles, you don't want to resolve the objects. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/OPSEC-LEA/Setup2 It also depends on the number of checkpoint managers/connections you are handling on one forwarder. When it gets to millions of events from 50 different connections on forwarder can really get overloaded and you might need to look into distributing the load. This is just one of the scenario I have seen, but the yours might be different. ... View more

There are two things to consider here. First, remember that "permissions flow from the search head". Allowing a "foreign" (not in your control) search head to peer with your index cluster gives the admin on that foreign search head full power and authority over all indexes, roles, and data access controls on your index cluster. So in your example, team XYZ allowing team ABC to search-peer would give the admins of team ABC's instance full access to any data ( or deleting data ) on XYZ's index cluster. Second, data model accelerations are specific to the search head they belong to. So, in this scenario, there will be two ES search heads running independent accelerations on XYZ's indexers. There will also be twice as many correlation searches running against that data. XYZ's indexers may need to scale up or out in order to deal with the added stress. ... View more

Changing the interval is not going to solve this. Let's be extreme and say indexers check every ten seconds while forwarders check every ten days. There still will be a case where eventually one forwarder's ten day interval will be up just after you deployed changes, and it will restart faster than your indexers. To get around this, make changes to your indexer's server classes first. Reload deployment server, wait. Then make changes to forwarder server classes, reload, wait. Even better, use clustering and roll out indexer changes from the master before touching the deployment server and therefore the forwarders. ... View more

Hi Martin, Thanks for clarification. I do see those apps names in the URLs, but I still had a question, when I add inputs in the GUI, (I was changing the sourcetype, creating new sourcetype), I see the props.conf created under system/local and inputs.conf created under search (I was in search app).
