Another alternative would be to use the SQL UNION operator. So you'd have a single dbxquery that executed the SQL statement select count(bug_id) as "Total Defects" from bug UNION select count(bug_status) as "Open defects" from bug where bug_status='Open' UNION select count(bug_status) as "Open defects" from bug where bug_status='Close' Regards Dave ...

Hi How have you determined that the events are being sent to the indexer? Could it be that the date format of the events is being misinterpreted and the events indexed today from the Domain Controllers are being indexed with a timestamp of 10 February 2017? Dave ... View more

There were a couple of sessions at .conf2016 that were recorded, regarding running Splunk as a Docker image and monitoring/troubleshooting Docker images. There were more sessions at .conf2017 regarding Docker and Splunk, but I've no idea if they were recorded, and if they were when they may be made available. Dave ... View more

Mmmm, the events stopped indexing at the end of the month. I suspect there may be a timestamp mismatch and the events for 1st July were indexed with a date of 7th January, the events for 2nd July were indexed with a date of 7th February. Will these events magically start indexing tonight at midnight? Dave ... View more

My initial thought is that this sounds like it may be a permissions related issue. What version of DBConnect are you running? Have you checked the DBConnect logs for entries relating to the dbxlookup command? Whatever version of DBConnect you're running check the Troubleshooting section of the documentation to see what is logged and where. Have you tried setting the DBConnect logging to DEBUG? Is the dashboard in the same app as your working dbxlookup search? Dave ... View more

In the command prompt window, and from the bin subdirectory mentioned by gmchenry can you enter the command splunk status Does that say splunkd is in a Running or a Stopped state? I had a similar problem some time ago whereby Splunkd had crashed, and so was in a stopped state, but it hadn't cleaned up all its child processes. This left at least one orphan process which maintained its association with port 8089. I think the root cause of my particular problem (SPL-86939) was fixed in 6.1.4. It is also possible that a process totally unrelated to Splunk is also needing to use port 8089 and so the two are programs are conflicting over port 8089. If that's the case you'll need to change one of the programs to use a different port. To find the process that is associated with a port you can use the netstat command netstat -ano This blog item may help you identify the process that is associated with the port (I've not tested the details in the blog item, and so can't comment on its validity). ...

An alternative could be to use the transaction SPL command. In the link it states the transaction command adds two fields to the raw events, duration and eventcount. The values in the duration field show the difference between the timestamps for the first and last events in the transaction. The values in the eventcount field show the number of events in the transaction. So as starting point you could try index=whatever sourcetype=whichever | transaction ticketid | table ticketid duration eventcount Dave ... View more
