Version 9.2.2 seems to have solved this issue. I know have Splunk Enterprise and Splunkforwarder running on the same server in three separate environments. 🙂

Still working on this one. II uninstalled SplunkForwarder form the Splunk Enterprise server, and that seems to have been a BAD move. Seems to have caused some config changes and permissions changes, and Splunk Enterprise segfaults when I try to start it now. Still trying to work out a fix.

Not yet. I'll be trying to work this out in the lab, If anyone else finds a solution other than the apparently painful process of removing the forwarder, please let me know! Thanks!

Egyas · ‎04-23-2024

Huh. Guess I was just assuming that it needed both, and that's the way I've always done it. Now I'll have to play around in the lab and see what happens when I remove it. Thanks!

I have a current Splunk install in my production environment, all running RedHat Linux. I have a single server w/ Splunk Enterprise installed on it, as well as SplunkForwarder. I have 100+ other servers w/ SplunkForwarder installed on them all pushing logs to the Splunk Enterprise server. All servers had v9.1.2 of the forwarder installed, and the Enterprise server was also this version. I recently updated the Splunk Enterprise server, as well as the Splunk Forwarders on all servers, to version 9.2.0.1 successfully. With one exception. The forwarder installed on my Splunk Enterprise server (named "splunkenter1") fails. It displays the error listed below where it says that the splunkforwarder package is conflicting with the splunk install. I have another Splunk Enterprise install (using the same set-up) in another environment, and I did not run into this issue. That upgrade worked without issue. I've tried Google'ing the issue, but haven't found much. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this, or has anyone seen this before?

I just tested this and it works perfectly. I tweaked a few names and combined the file contents from @kiran_panchavat with the regex from @PickleRick and I'm good to go. Thanks guys! props.conf [source::auditd] TRANSFORMS-set=setnull transforms.conf [setnull] REGEX = acct=appuser.*exe=/usr/(sbin/crond|bin/crontab) DEST_KEY = queue FORMAT = nullQueue

@PickleRick & @kiran_panchavat , thank you guys so much for the assist. I really appreciate it. I'll give it a test and see if it works for me. Thanks agaion!

I have a simply Splunk set-up. about 120 or so Linux servers (that are all basically appliances) w/ universal forwarder installed, and a single Linux server running Splunk Enterprise acting as the indexer, search head, etc. The problem I have is that the forwarders must feed the server's audit log into Splunk. That feed is actually working fine, but it's flooding the server, and causing me to go over my license limit. Specifically, the appliance app has an event in cron that runs very often, and it's flooding the audit log with file access, file mod, etc events, which is ballooning the amount of data I send to Splunk Enterprise. Data that IO simply do not need. What I want to do is filter out these specific events, but ONLY for this specific user. I believe this can be done using transforms.conf and props.conf on the indexer, but I'm having trouble getting the syntax and fields right. Can anyone assist with this? Here's the data I need to remove... sourcetype=auditd acct=appuser exe=/usr/sbin/crond exe=/usr/bin/crontab So basically ANY events in the audit log for user "appuser" that reference either "/usr/bin/crontab" or "usr/bin/crontab" need to be dropped. Here are 2 examples of the events I want to drop. type=USER_END msg=audit(03/04/2024 15:58:02.701:5726) : pid=26919 uid=root auid=appuser ses=184 msg='op=PAM:session_close grantors=pam_loginuid,pam_keyinit,pam_limits,pam_systemd acct=appuser exe=/usr/sbin/crond hostname=? addr=? terminal=cron res=success' type=USER_ACCT msg=audit(03/04/2024 15:58:02.488:5723) : pid=26947 uid=appuser auid=appuser ses=184 msg='op=PAM:accounting grantors=pam_access,pam_unix,pam_localuser acct=appuser exe=/usr/bin/crontab hostname=? addr=? terminal=cron res=success' Can this be done?

Same here. I just upgraded to v 9.0.3 and had this pop-up. Any updates?
