2018-04-13 | SPL-153403 | After running the "clean userdata" command, admin is unable to login with msg "No users exist. Please set up a new user." Workaround: Create a $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/user-seed.conf and restart Splunk [user_info] |
2017-05-23 | SPL-141961 | Older 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 maintenance release versions unable to connect to 6.6.x and later via management port. Workaround: This applies to License Master/Slave, Deployment Server/Client, Cluster Master/Peers, Search Head/Peers and affects Splunk 6.6.x and the following versions:
Upgrade your older instances to the latest maintenance releases or on your 6.6.x Splunk instances. Add the following stanza to server.conf: [sslConfig]
|
2017-03-20 | SPL-139019 | Possible compatibility issues between Python / SDK clients and new 6.6 and later default sslVersions, cipherSuites Workaround: Users can do either of the following: 1. Overwrite the new Splunk 6.6 server.conf [sslConfig] sslVersions, cipherSuites with your own settings that are compatible with your version of OpenSSL, e.g. the previous defaults from 6.5.x are compatible with OpenSSL 0.9.8 on Mac OSX: [sslConfig] 2. For some more up-to-date clients, it is possible to enforce TLS1.2 (e.g. --tlsv1.2 for curl) in order to connect successfully. 3. Upgrade OpenSSL on your platform and link it with your client (e.g. Python, curl, etc..). For example, OpenSSL 1.0.2 is currently available on Mac OSX via Homebrew (see https://brew.sh) and is compatible with the new Splunk 6.6 default sslVersions, cipherSuites. |
2017-03-13 | SPL-138647 | Possible compatibility issues between new 6.6 and later default sslVersions, cipherSuites and external services, e.g. e-mail, LDAP Workaround: If security is not a significant concern, simply revert back to the 6.5.x SSL/TLS defaults, e.g. for e-mail, add to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/alert_actions.conf
[email]
TLS_PROTOCOL_MIN 3.1
The example below is for a Postfix SMTP server: eserv@indexer01:~$ splunk cmd openssl s_client -connect smtp-server01:465 | awk '/Protocol/ || /Cipher/ || /Verify/' Protocol : TLSv1 Cipher : DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA Verify return code: 19 (self signed certificate in certificate chain) 2. Check the OpenSSL output for Protocol and Cipher. In the example above, Protocol = TLSv1 and Cipher = DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA 3. Update Splunk's relevant sslVersions and/or cipherSuite. In the example above, sslVersions should be set to tls (allows TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2) and DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA should be appended to the end of the defaultcipherSuites definition, e.g. add $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/alert_actions.conf :

2014-08-20 | SPL-89640 | When running Splunk on Linux as non-root user and using RPM to upgrade, the RPM writes $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/introspection as root, causing errors upon restarts Workaround: Chown the $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/introspection directory to the user Splunk Enterprise runs as after upgrading and before restarting Splunk Enterprise. |
2013-08-19 | SPL-73386 | Users are not allowed to run historical scheduled search Workaround: 1. Create a special power/admin user who can run scheduled searches. 2. Assign this user ownership of the scheduled searches. 3. Share the searches at the app level and grant read/write permission to the correct set of users. |

2015-03-17 | SPL-98163 | INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS=W3C is truncating field cs_uri_stem when spaces are present in URL Workaround: Create a separate extraction in props.conf where defined w3c extraction method: EXTRACT-cs_uri_stem1 = (GET|POST) (?<cs_uri_stem1>[^-]++) |
Search issues
Date filed | Issue number | Description |
---|---|---|
2020-04-07 | SPL-185956, SPL-186131 | replace_table_with_fields optimizer doesn't guarantee field order for searches where this matters , for example: <non-transforming search> | table | transpose Workaround: Add this to the search if field ordering for the first table command matters: | noop search_optimization.replace_table_with_fields=f Or, if you can restructure the search, so if you would have something with a transforming command first: index=_internal | stats latest(_time) AS _time BY host index | table host _time index | transpose 2 Or
run the search in VERBOSE mode. |
2020-03-05 | SPL-184348, SPL-184601, SPL-185393, SPL-185394 | Splunk returns no results after adding field extractions without capturing group in REGEX when using FORMAT field::value Workaround: Add a capturing group to the REGEX. REGEX = (.) Example of configuration that would show this issue: props.conf: [splunkd] REPORT-Whatever = this-breaks-searching and transforms.conf: [this-breaks-searching] REGEX = . FORMAT = myfield::myvalue |
2020-02-12 | SPL-183259 | When generating LISPY for field values that are numbers (""), the values aren't deduplicated, which can cause slowdowns in certain scenarios Workaround: Dedup values in search before, for example: instead of index="field_test" [search index="field_test" globalCallID_callId=1234* | fields globalCallID_callId] add a stats or dedup in the subsearch: index="field_test" [search index="field_test" globalCallID_callId=123* | stats values(globalCallID_callId) AS globalCallID_callId | mvexpand globalCallID_callId ] If that list is still large and you're seeing the slowdown, consider moving the filtering to a | where after the initial search, for example: index="field_test" globalCallID_callId=* | where [search index="field_test" globalCallID_callId=123* | stats values(globalCallID_callId) AS globalCallID_callId | mvexpand globalCallID_callId ] |
2020-02-05 | SPL-182842 | Issue with maps viz, geostats in combination with |append or |inputlookup append=t, some pie chart not showing on map Workaround: Avoid "| append" or "|inputlookup append=t" if you can in combination with geostats |
2020-01-30 | SPL-182511, SPL-183265 | split() on an empty string results in typeof(field) = Invalid and a "| mvexpand" will then not return that event Workaround: For searches that look like this: | makeresults | eval a="" | eval a=split(a,"z"), b="junk" | foreach * [| eval typeof_<<FIELD>>=typeof(<<FIELD>>)] | mvexpand a Add an eval before mvexpand to handle this for example: ... | eval a=if(tostring(typeof(a))="Invalid","",a) | mvexpand a
|
2020-01-10 | SPL-181573 | geostats provides incorrect results for lower zoom levels when split BY has a higher cardinality than globallimit. Workaround: - Increase globallimit to the value of "unique values" number mentioned in the warning message: "The split by field <field> has a large number of unique values <number>. Chart column set will be trimmed to 10. Use globallimit argument to control column count." - Use very high globallimit in geostats and post process after if needed - Don't use BY in geostats - Use lower cardinality BY and/or higher globallimit in geostats |
2020-01-09 | SPL-181525, SPL-182404, SPL-182841, SPL-182843 | Issue with maps viz, geostats in combination with |append or |inputlookup append=t, some pie chart not showing on map Workaround: Avoid "| append" or "|inputlookup append=t" if you can in combination with geostats |
2019-12-18 | SPL-181152, SPL-177255 | Searching for lookup default_match value includes default_match value in lispy Workaround: For each lookup field <FIELD> that's causing issues, add to fields.conf: [<FIELD>]

2019-09-11 | SPL-176333, SPL-178301, SPL-195181, SPL-202077, SPL-226017, SPL-178302, SPL-178303 | Lookups may return incorrect results due to internal caching Workaround: Add allow_caching=f to the lookup command: | lookup <name> allow_caching=f ... On 7.3+: Add allow_caching=f to the lookup definition on the search head transforms.conf: [<lookup name>] allow_caching = f To check if you might be running into this issue, you'll need to enable debug on the search in question by adding: | noop log_DEBUG=CachedProvider <pre> If you have hits for the cached lookup, like in the sample log below, you can hit this issue. <pre> DEBUG CachedProvider - Cached provider metrics: lookup=<lookup name> hits=67064 misses=321 total=67385 |

2019-07-29 | SPL-174005, SPL-182156, SPL-175325 | Search crashes on indexer in ChunkedCSVLineReader::initReader due to empty kvstore lookup folder in the bundle Workaround: Two options: 1) disable kvstore collection replication to the indexers (changes on the SH side): in collections.conf under collections stanza set replicate=false 2) enable old lookups code (changes on the Indexers side):
in limits.conf set the below
[lookup]

2019-02-25 | SPL-166897, UBA-11952 | After splunk restart, the first threat or anomaly does not get sent to ES Workaround: The first threat send from UBA to Splunk after the latter is restarted, will be missed. Please manually export the missed threat to Splunk ES again. Or
Always restart OCS after Splunk gets restarted. |
2019-02-11 | SPL-166288, SPL-161763 | Search results inconsistent with BatchMode searches using batch pipelines >2 and custom scripts using SCP version 1 Workaround: Temporary Fix: The only workaround I've found so far that resolves the problem is by reducing batch_search_max_pipeline to 1 on the indexers. |
2019-02-05 | SPL-166001 | 16MB+ events are not displayed on the search results, but they will be listed on the fields sidebar and in the timeline. search.log message: "SRSSerializer - max str len exceeded - probably corrupt" Workaround: Make sure fields are under 16777216 characters (or 16MB, usually _raw is the biggest) OR Revert back to the old serialization format (CSV), however, this applies to all searches, so you won't be getting the (performance) benefits of the new format. $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/limits.conf:

2018-12-13 | SPL-163932, SPL-164894 | Disabling case_sensitive_match in transforms.conf not working for WILDCARD type lookups Workaround: You can normalise the data in the lookup (| eval field=lower(field)) before populating, and doing the same before looking it up. If you need the denormalised version, you can create a different field for the lookup instead to still have access to the original. Create lookup: ... | eval field=lower(field) | outputlookup Use lookup:

2018-11-07 | SPL-162655, SPL-164505 | Add ASNEW keyword to FIELDALIAS to support non-overriding version of aliasing Workaround: Avoid applying the same alias field name to multiple original field names. If you must do this, set it up as a calculated field (an EVAL-* statement) that uses the 'coalesce' function to create a new field that takes the value of one or more existing fields. This method lets you be explicit about ordering of input field values in the case of NULL fields. For example: EVAL-ip = coalesce(clientip,ipaddress) |

2018-11-22 | SPL-163158, SPL-169369, SPL-169370, SPL-169371 | Custom drilldown search string is not encoded causing drilldown search failure Workaround: There are 2 partial dirty workarounds which should work most of the times: A. avoid special characters like "%" in the drill-down search, like: eval _time = STRPTIME(LOGTIME,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%9N") B. go through this approach: B.1. take your full drilldown search: index=it-supply sourcetype=FMSPROD source=PUR_FMS_IDOC_SHPMNT06 earliest= -60m@m | where ENTREPOTTRANSPORT="W090" | eval _time = STRPTIME(LOGTIME,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%9N") | stats count as result | fillnull value=0 and execute it in your search app. B.2. once executed, please take the encoded search string from the originated URL (by omitting for the moment the SPL time delimiters). You should get something similar to this: search%20index%3Dit-supply%20sourcetype%3DFMSPROD%20source%3DPUR_FMS_IDOC_SHPMNT06%20%7C%20where%20ENTREPOTTRANSPORT%3D%22W090%22%20%7C%20eval%20_time%20%3D%20STRPTIME(LOGTIME%2C%22%25Y-%25m-%25d%20%25H%3A%25M%3A%25S.%259N%22)%20%7C%20stats%20count%20as%20result%20%7C%20fillnull%20value%3D0 B.3. go back to the drilldown editor on splunkweb and rewrite the SPL with what you have collected in step B.2., then set Time Range from the dropdown in the Drilldown Editor pop-up. Then save.

Workaround: This applies to License Master/Slave, Deployment Server/Client, Cluster Master/Peers, Search Head/Peers and affects Splunk 6.6.x and the following versions:
Upgrade your older instances to the latest maintenance releases or on your 6.6.x Splunk instances. Add the following stanza to server.conf: [sslConfig]
|
2017-03-20 | SPL-139019 | Possible compatibility issues between Python / SDK clients and new 6.6 and later default sslVersions, cipherSuites Workaround: Users can do either of the following: 1. Overwrite the new Splunk 6.6 server.conf [sslConfig] sslVersions, cipherSuites with your own settings that are compatible with your version of OpenSSL, e.g. the previous defaults from 6.5.x are compatible with OpenSSL 0.9.8 on Mac OSX: [sslConfig] 2. For some more up-to-date clients, it is possible to enforce TLS1.2 (e.g. --tlsv1.2 for curl) in order to connect successfully. 3. Upgrade OpenSSL on your platform and link it with your client (e.g. Python, curl, etc..). For example, OpenSSL 1.0.2 is currently available on Mac OSX via Homebrew (see https://brew.sh) and is compatible with the new Splunk 6.6 default sslVersions, cipherSuites. |

Disable certificate verification - the same root certificate is available with every Splunk download so enabling certificate verification while using the default certificates provides very little additional security. 2. Generate new SHA256/2048-bit key certificates using the new 6.6 root certificate and distribute to older versions of Splunk 3.

2015-04-07 | SPL-99316 | Universal Forwarders stop sending data repeatedly throughout the day Workaround: In limits.conf, try changing file_tracking_db_threshold_mb in the [inputproc] stanza to a lower value. |
2015-03-25 | SPL-98594 | Routing events to two different groups not working as expected. Workaround: 1 On the original UF, instead of configuring 1 s2s and 1 syslog group, configure 2 s2s groups. 2 Setup a proxy UF which takes input from the original UF and send input out syslog server.
This solution only requires config change and no patch release is required. |
2014-08-05 | SPL-88396 | After configuring a client name for a deployment client, the name is not shown in the Forwarder Management UI Workaround: Create a server class, where you can see the client name, and use that group when you add data. |

However, the bundle pushed to the Deployment Clients retains the on-disk name, while the bundle reap process is performed against the app name, resulting in old bundles not being deleted. Monitor and manually delete old app bundles under $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/tmp/<serverclass>, otherwise avoid using appFile where possible. |

2018-10-25 | SPL-162249, SPL-170857, SPL-177527, SPL-177529, SPL-183262 | The filter function of <splunk-search-dropdown> UI component is not working on on Splunk Enterprise 7.1 and later. |
2018-10-17 | SPL-161629, SPL-145546 | When assigning indexes to roles, indexes defined on the indexer tier are not displayed Workaround: Replace the "$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/default/data/ui/manager/authentication_roles.xml" file on the search head with a version from any Splunk Enterprise 6.6.x release. Refresh the configuration on the search head by calling a debug refresh (http[s]://[splunkweb hostname]:[splunkweb port]/debug/refresh) using a supported web browser. |

2015-04-14 | SPL-99687, SPL-129637 | Splunk universal forwarder is 7-10 days behind recent Windows Security and system log events. Workaround: To mitigate this, edit the following stanza in inputs.conf: [WinEventLog://Security] evt_resolve_ad_obj = 0. |
2015-04-01 | SPL-98978 | On differing versions of Splunk Enterprise indexer (5.0.1) and universal forwarder (6.2.2), collection of the Security Event log can take increasingly longer over time. Workaround: To fix the problem, restart Windows on the forwarder.
|
2014-10-31 | SPL-92596 | After upgrade from Splunk Enterprise 6.1 or earlier to 6.4.x on Windows, splunkweb service does not start automatically. Attempts to start it manually show "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." Workaround: This is expected behavior. See the Splunk Answers post: http://answers.splunk.com/answers/177187/why-is-the-splunk-web-service-not-running-after-an.html |
2014-09-25 | SPL-91279 | Splunk Universal Forwarder on Windows (specifically, the splunk-perfmon.exe process) does not release key handles.

2013-10-11 | SPL-75116 | The UI does not show configured items of some newly converted windows modular inputs that contain the name "default" in the stanza Workaround: Edit inputs.conf: in stanzas that contain WinRegMon://default, replace "default" with something else, then restart splunk. |

A quick check would be to create a duplicate savedsearches.conf and removing all cron_schedule definitions and rebooting splunk with that config to identify if it is this issue. |

2018-11-07 | SPL-162655, SPL-164505 | Add ASNEW keyword to FIELDALIAS to support non-overriding version of aliasing Workaround: Avoid applying the same alias field name to multiple original field names. If you must do this, set it up as a calculated field (an EVAL-* statement) that uses the 'coalesce' function to create a new field that takes the value of one or more existing fields. This method lets you be explicit about ordering of input field values in the case of NULL fields. For example: EVAL-ip = coalesce(clientip,ipaddress) |
2018-09-27 | SPL-160807, SPL-161626 | In server.conf.spec, the unit type for the 'eviction_padding' setting has been documented incorrectly, stating that the units are in bytes when they are actually in megabytes. Only the specification file has the error; the software operates as designed. Workaround: If you need to set cache manager eviction padding, confirm that your setting corresponds to the number of megabytes that you want the cache manager to reserve. For example, if you want to reserve 5 gigabytes of space, set "eviction_padding" to 5120, not 5368709120. |
2017-11-29 | SPL-146820 | Unable to access some settings/manager pages (data model editor) if starting from the setup page of a non-visible app Workaround: Navigate to a visible app, such as the search and reporting app, and access the Splunk settings pages from that app context. |

Splunk Analytics for Hadoop
Date filed | Issue number | Description |
---|---|---|
2019-01-30 | ERP-2149, ERP-2159, ERP-2160 | HUNK queries to HADOOP HDFS log archive failing with: ChunkedOutputStreamReader: Invalid transport header line="" |
2017-04-04 | ERP-2040 | Splunk archiving fails for large block sizes (buckets) due to HDFS write crashes for Hadoop version 2.8, 2.7.x Workaround: Upgrade Hadoop to 2.8.2 or higher. |
2015-09-09 | ERP-1650 | timestamp data type not properly deserialized. |
2015-08-05 | ERP-1619 | Searching on a newly created archive index before the bucket copy saved search is run causes a filenotfound exception. Workaround: Reenable the bucket copy saved search and let it run, or force the archiving to happen via | archivebuckets force=1 and then rerun the search. |

To keep your instances in the same working directory, configure vix.splunk.search.cache.path to be unique on both search heads. |
