Hello, I have a request from a systems manager related to SOX controls. They are requesting information around the local Splunk account that is created when a UF is being installed (this is on a Linux machine). They are asking where the password is stored for this account/who has access to it, and what are the controls around it. They are requesting to make this account non-interactive - would this cause any problems? They would then have to go around to all 200+ UFs and do this, not sure how intuitive this would be. Has anyone encountered requests related to local Splunk UF accounts & SOX controls? ... View more

Hello, We have multiple fortigate devices forwarding to a logstash server that is storing all the device's logs in 1 file (I can't change this unfortunately). This is then forwarding to our HF, and then to Splunk Cloud. This then enters splunk with sometimes 20+ logs in a single event, and I can't get them to parse out into individual events by host. Below are samples of 2 logs, but in a single event there could be 20+ logs - I cannot get this to parse correctly out into each event per host (redact). {"log":{"syslog":{"priority":189}},"host":{"hostname":"redact"},"fgt":{"proto":"1","tz":"+0200","vpntype":"ipsecvpn","rcvdbyte":"3072","policyname":"MW","type":"traffic","identifier":"43776","trandisp":"noop","logid":"0001000014","srcintfrole":"undefined","policyid":"36","rcvdpkt":"3","vd":"root","duration":"180","dstintfrole":"undefined","dstip":"10.53.6.1","level":"notice","eventtime":"1750692044675283970","policytype":"policy","subtype":"local","srcip":"10.53.4.119","dstintf":"root","srcintf":"HUB1-VPN1","sessionid":"5612390","action":"accept","service":"PING","app":"PING","sentbyte":"3072","sentpkt":"3","dstcountry":"Reserved","poluuid":"cb0c79de-2400-51f0-7067-d28729f733cf","srccountry":"Reserved"},"timestamp":"2025-06-23T15:20:45Z","data_stream":{"namespace":"default","dataset":"fortinet.fortigate","type":"logs"},"@timestamp":"2025-06-23T15:20:45.000Z","type":"fortigate","logstash":{"hostname":"no_logstash_hostname"},"tags":["_grokparsefailure"],"@version":"1","system":{"syslog":{"version":"1"}},"event":{"created":"2025-06-23T15:20:45.563831683Z","original":"<189>1 2025-06-23T15:20:45Z redact - - - - eventtime=1750692044675283970 tz=\"+0200\" logid=\"0001000014\" type=\"traffic\" subtype=\"local\" level=\"notice\" vd=\"root\" srcip=10.53.4.119 identifier=43776 srcintf=\"redact\" srcintfrole=\"undefined\" dstip=10.53.6.1 dstintf=\"root\" dstintfrole=\"undefined\" srccountry=\"Reserved\" dstcountry=\"Reserved\" sessionid=5612390 proto=1 action=\"accept\" policyid=36 policytype=\"policy\" poluuid=\"cb0c79de-2400-51f0-7067-d28729f733cf\" policyname=\"MW\" service=\"PING\" trandisp=\"noop\" app=\"PING\" duration=180 sentbyte=3072 rcvdbyte=3072 sentpkt=3 rcvdpkt=3 vpntype=\"ipsecvpn\""},"observer":{"ip":"10.53.12.113"}} {"log":{"syslog":{"priority":189}},"host":{"hostname":"redact"},"fgt":{"proto":"1","tz":"+0200","rcvdbyte":"3072","policyname":"redact (ICMP)","type":"traffic","identifier":"43776","trandisp":"noop","logid":"0001000014","srcintfrole":"wan","policyid":"40","rcvdpkt":"3","vd":"root","duration":"180","dstintfrole":"undefined","dstip":"10.52.25.145","level":"notice","eventtime":"1750692044620716079","policytype":"policy","subtype":"local","srcip":"10.53.4.119","dstintf":"root","srcintf":"wan1","sessionid":"8441941","action":"accept","service":"PING","app":"PING","sentbyte":"3072","sentpkt":"3","dstcountry":"Reserved","poluuid":"813c45e0-3ad6-51f0-db42-8ec755725c23","srccountry":"Reserved"},"timestamp":"2025-06-23T15:20:45Z","data_stream":{"namespace":"default","dataset":"fortinet.fortigate","type":"logs"},"@timestamp":"2025-06-23T15:20:45.000Z","type":"fortigate","logstash":{"hostname":"no_logstash_hostname"},"tags":["_grokparsefailure"],"@version":"1","system":{"syslog":{"version":"1"}},"event":{"created":"2025-06-23T15:20:45.639474828Z","original":"<189>1 2025-06-23T15:20:45Z redact - - - - eventtime=1750692044620716079 tz=\"+0200\" logid=\"0001000014\" type=\"traffic\" subtype=\"local\" level=\"notice\" vd=\"root\" srcip=10.53.4.119 identifier=43776 srcintf=\"wan1\" srcintfrole=\"wan\" dstip=10.52.25.145 dstintf=\"root\" dstintfrole=\"undefined\" srccountry=\"Reserved\" dstcountry=\"Reserved\" sessionid=8441941 proto=1 action=\"accept\" policyid=40 policytype=\"policy\" poluuid=\"813c45e0-3ad6-51f0-db42-8ec755725c23\" policyname=\"redact (ICMP)\" service=\"PING\" trandisp=\"noop\" app=\"PING\" duration=180 sentbyte=3072 rcvdbyte=3072 sentpkt=3 rcvdpkt=3"},"observer":{"ip":"10.52.31.14"}}   I have edited props.conf to contain the following stanza, but still no luck:   [fortigate_log] SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false LINE_BREAKER = }(\s*)\{   Any direction on where to go from here?  ...
