I have a lookup script that is placed in my apps bin folder. How can I use this external lookup from other apps?
Whenever I try despite setting the lookups sharing to global I get the message lookup script not found. When running the lookup in the app with the script it works fine though.

I managed to clear this message by deleting all the serverclasses and then re-adding them. This removed the messages and got the apps downloading again.
My guess is SPlunk gets confused as to what has changed on the forwarder(s) and isn't logging the error back correctly.

for those of you wondering why this doesn't work when you copy and paste it's because the answers regex have had the backslashes removed when it was posted. Put a backslah before the . and b and w in the regexes and it will work once properly indented.

You first need to sort the processes by %_Processor_time before using top. Something like
| sort - %_Processor_Time | top Process limit=10
The top command just gives you the first 10 lines of the results.

You need to set this up on the indexer not the forwarder as that's where these rules are applied.

I think your looking for this information. Here's the specific quote:
6.x search heads are compatible with 6.x and 5.x search peers, in a non-clustered environment. The search head must be at the same or higher level than the search peers:
A 6.x search head is compatible with a 5.x search peer.
A 5.x search head is not compatible with a 6.x search peer.
Search peers here mean your indexers

You need to set a few more options, here is an example that would schedule the job to run every 10mins over the previous month.
opts = { name: "searchname",
search: "* | head 10",
is_scheduled: 1,
cron_schedule: "*/10 * * * *",
'dispatch.earliest_time': '-1mon@d',
'dispatch.latest_time': 'now',
};
mySavedSearches.create(opts, function(err, newSearch) {
console.log("created!");
});

if the log file contained paramater=value then Splunk should parse out the fields automagically for you yes. If you can't change the log format then it may be worth setting up some field extractions.

the transaction command joins all the events for a particular second in a single event. So you should have 1 memoryusage and several userprocess per event, so no need to use joins/stats/etc. Give it a go anyway 🙂

Try something like:
sourcetype=whatever (memoryusage OR userprocesses) | rex field=_raw ".*memoryusage (?P< memoryusage>[0-9]+)" | rex field=_raw ".*userprocess (?P< userprocess>[0-9]+)" | transaction _time maxspan=1s | search memoryusage>10000000 | table memoryusage userprocess
formatting is a bit messed up so the < word> should really be <word>

The problem was that the _raw field came from a database and were not prefixed by a timestamp. So what I did in the end was add the following to prepend it:
my search | eval _raw=_time + ": " + _raw | collect index=summary
I don't have any way of adding the field extractions though that can be done at search time manually.

So I have used collect to save some events into a summary index. The problem is all of the timestamp information is lost which makes the info next to useless. It desides to default all the events to the search time.
It also drops all the field extractions that I set up which is a pain but can be worked around at a push.
pseudo search:
sourcetype=x my_field=name | rex=something "do_some_extractions" | collect index=summary

I have given it a go but the _time field doesn't get save in the index I specify. It just defaults all the events to the time I started the search. Is there something else I need to do?

We have a system that produces several GB of logs per day. Of that there is only maybe a few MB that contains information that is worth searching through in Splunk. What I would like to do is set up a scheduled search that saves just the events we care about to a seperate index to help improve search speeds.
I have been trying to use summary indexing for this but I seem to lose all the _time data that go with the events. Is there anyway just to save the filtered events?

The only way I have managed to get this working is by re-writing %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\apps\search\bin\runshellscript.py
Clearly this is not a good solution and will break after any update.

I have spent most of the afternoon trying to work out why the script doesn't seem to work. From the logs I found in %SPLUNK_HOME%\var\log\splunk\ the commmand will never work as long as my search command contains quotes, braces, >, < or & anywhere. e.g
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c " "pathtosplunk\Splunk\bin\scripts\myscript.py" "49" "index="my_index" ("some" OR "other") | rex field=blah "(?<breakage>.*)" commands" "name_of saved search" "Saved Search [nameofsavedsearch] number of events(99)" "http://path toresults" "" "path\\to\\csv" "
Is there any solution?

thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I am not sure how to call this from Python. I am using the splunk.binding module, any chance you could give a quick example? Thanks.

turns out this was nothing to do with any of the characters or permissions. For some reason the ending of logfileprefix* was causing the problem (despite working on non network folders). I swapped this to use a whitelist instead...which didn't work. Finally I added a blacklist which did.
The final working config looks similar to:
[monitor://\\myserver\tempfolder$\Logs]
disabled = false
followTail = 0
sourcetype = mysourcetype
whitelist =
blacklist = (something|BLAH\-[0-9]+)
index = tmp

can you not change the regex to:
(?i)^([^*#]\d+\s+|(?:)[^\-]*\i{2}\d+\s+)(?P<a>[^]+)
this should match (?P<a>[^]+) when preceded by either (?i)^[^*#]\d+\s+ or (?i)^(?:)[^\-]*\i{2}\d+\s+
that is assuming you are missing a closing [ and ) in the expressions in your question.
