Use the Splunk TA For Microsoft Cloud Services. It has a tab for proxy configuration. Works fine on a HF.

So are you saying you get the regex error when you get the bad line-breaking?

petercow · ‎01-03-2018

Check the _internal index for sourectype "splunkd" where you're indexing. Look for 'ERROR' or 'WARN' for that sourcetype.

petercow · ‎01-03-2018

Yes, but it's going to make things like clustering problematic.

1) yes 2) Yes - see below 3) You can have the syslog server also be the splunk server (in which case you don't need the forwarder), but for reasons of scalability, etc., I would have them be 2 separate servers.

1) configure the sources to have your server be their logging destination (each kind of device does that differently, but the result is the same). 2) install a Splunk Universal forwarder on that box, to monitor the syslog file being generated from step 1.

petercow · ‎06-09-2017

Agreed. Have it on my SHC too, and still see have Notification.

The Splunk Server can receive data on its own. No forwarder required. (and actually, you shouldn't use it).

petercow · ‎05-27-2016

I presume you don't want to change the timezone on your server, but rather, for Splunk to recognize that the data is coming from a server in a different timezone. On the indexer(s), in props.conf [host::myBostonServer] TZ = US/Eastern

petercow · ‎05-02-2016

Not sure, but probably. 🙂

Splunk keeps track of what was already indexed in the 'fishbucket' directory, $splunkforwarder$/var/log/splunk/fishbucket If you upgrade by installing 'on top' of your existing forwarder, its contents will be preserved, so no re-indexing will take place.

That's fine. I was guessing you wanted to use the '2nd' time-stamp, but you didn't specify. Your TIME_PREFIX = ^ tells Splunk that the timestamp is immediately at the beginning of the event. Make a regex that it starts at the 2nd.

petercow · ‎04-21-2016

If you want to use the 'first' timestamp as your MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD to a smaller value.

petercow · ‎04-20-2016

If you are using a serverclass.conf that you had hand-crafted, and used things like blacklists, I've seen (and IO think it was when we went to 6.3.x), the deployment server not be able to parse things correctly -even though it doesn't complain about the file. Try this. start with a clean deploymentclient.conf and use the GUI to make a change. Presuming that it works, examine the 'new' syntax, and change your file to match what it does.

Not so. In a distributed environment, the knowledge bundles need to get distributed. Until they are, your results may be "inconsistent".

petercow · ‎08-28-2013

There isn't. I filed an enhancement request more than a year ago on this.

petercow · ‎06-27-2013

Sorry - that doesn't answer the question. It's like the old joke, Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do that." Doctor: "Don't do that." I've submitted an RFE to be able to disable the warnings.

petercow · ‎06-19-2013

I don't want to use indexer acknowledgement in my cluster environment. I also, don't want the warnings that I'm not using it filling up my logs. How can I disable the warning?
