I talked to support and apparently when reading windows events from a file, the message data is not collected. I did not find a fix for this, but you may also want to consult support.

Yes. Documentation says, "before you start Splunk Enterprise for the first time, change the ownership of the $SPLUNK_HOME directory to the desired user."
But Splunk was started as root-user and has been running as root-user. So will the "chown" command work after Splunk was started and running as root-user?

I have installed Splunk 6.0.4 as a root user on Linux 64bit RH 6.4. However, now I would like to change the user Splunk runs as to a non-root user. Is this possible and how would it be done?
-Thanks!

This seems like a silly question, but I just want confirmation. I have a huge amount of events coming in for "ontap" index and it is causing license warnings. I would like to halt the indexing of these events until I can properly restrict the amount of events I am receiving. Will disabling the "ontap" index stop these events from being counted against the license?
Thanks.

I have the Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure installed on the Indexer/Search Head and on the Heavy Forwarder. Do I also need Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows installed on the Indexer/Search Head?
Thanks.

I can confirm that there is no blacklisting. I think it may have to do with the REGEX for reporting the message, but I have no REGEX knowledge/experience.
I'm seeing this in SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/props.conf:
[source::WinEventLog...]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=30
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n](?=\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{2,4} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2} [aApPmM]{2}))
**REPORT-MESSAGE = wel-message, wel-eq-kv, wel-col-kv**
KV_MODE=none
TRANSFORMS-FIELDS = strip-winevt-linebreaker
and in transforms.conf:
**[wel-message]**
REGEX = (?sm)^(?<_pre_msg>.+)\nMessage=(?.+)$
CLEAN_KEYS = false
**[wel-eq-kv]**
SOURCE_KEY = _pre_msg
DELIMS = "\n","="
MV_ADD = true
**[wel-col-kv]**
SOURCE_KEY = Message
REGEX = \n([^:\n\r]+):[ \t]++([^\n]*)
FORMAT = $1::$2
MV_ADD = true

No blacklisting was done manually. Could it have been blacklisted automatically by an app or config? I'm checking out the inputs/outputs/transforms files on the hvy forwarder now. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for? Thanks Jeff.

I have a heavy forwarder on a win2008R2 server. Windows security logs are being written to a file on that forwarder and then forwarded to Splunk enterprise instance. The problem I am having is that there is no information or data appearing in the "Message=" part of the event. Can anyone tell me why I am not getting this data and how I can fix it?
I have looked at the Windows logs on the forwarder and the "Message" information is there, but not showing in Splunk searches. Here is a sample of a Windows event as it shows in a Splunk search:
09/23/2014 10:32:21 AM
LogName=Security
SourceName=Microsoft Windows security auditing.
EventCode=4740
EventType=0
Type=Information
ComputerName=xxx.xxx.xxx
TaskCategory=User Account Management
OpCode=Info
RecordNumber=348148916
Keywords=Audit Success
Message=
Thank you for your help.

Can you tell me why I am getting no information in the "Message" part of the event? The actual Windows log has message information including account name, but that info is not being displayed in the Splunk event.
Example of my Splunk event:

LogName=Security
SourceName=Microsoft Windows security auditing.
EventCode=4740
EventType=0
Type=Information
ComputerName= XXX.xxxxx.XXX

OpCode=Info
RecordNumber=346165397

Thanks. I'll check the spaces.
I have 2 indexers and several heavy forwarders. This particular config is on the main indexer which also serves as the search head.
Thanks for the help!

I am working on what should be a very easy filter, but cannot get it to work. I want to filter out events with sourcetype="WinEventLog:ForwardedEvents". This is my props and transforms in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local.
props.conf
[WinEventLog:ForwardedEvents]
TRANSFORMS-wmi=wminull
transforms.conf
[wminull]
REGEX= .
DEST_KEY=queue
FORMAT=nullQueue
Any help you can give me is very appreciated.

Documentation for Splunk TA for Unix says, "The latest version of the Splunk App and Splunk Supporting Add-on for Unix and Linux is 5.0.1. You can use that version of the app and supporting add-on with version 5.0.2 of the Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux."
I cannot find a download for version 5.0.2. All links lead to version 5.0.3.
Where can I get version 5.0.2 of the Splunk Add-On for Unix???
Thanks.

I have installed the Splunk app for NetApp:ONTAP and I'm having a problem with some of my dashboards. More specifically, it seems I am missing the sourcetype "ontap:perf". I am also missing several sources such as AggrPerfHandler, VolumePerfHandler, LunPerfHandler and DiskPerfHandler.
Can anyone tell me how to get the "ontap:perf" sourcetype into Splunk or any ideas why I am missing it?
Thanks.

Did you add the index "ontap" to the list of indexes search by default?
I had no soucetype of "ontap:perf" until I added that index.
