Upgrade the Splunk Supporting Add-on for Active Directory (SA-LDAPSearch)

Follow these steps to upgrade the Splunk Supporting Add-on for Active Directory (SA-LDAPSearch) from version 2.2.0 and higher:

  1. Download the latest version of the app from Splunkbase.
  2. Unpack the archive.
  3. Copy the Splunk Supporting Add-on for Active Directory folder to the %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\apps folder on the search head(s) in your deployment. If prompted, overwrite the existing folder. The Splunk Supporting Add-on for Active Directory must be installed on all search heads and indexers in the deployment.
  4. Remove all the inline comments from the SA-ldapsearch\local\logging.conf file if present. These are examples of file stanzas that contain invalid inline comments:
    [logger_root]
    level = NOTSET              ; Default: WARNING
    handlers = LdapSearchLog    ; Default: stderr
    
    [logger_LdapSearchCommand]
    qualname = LdapSearchCommand
    level = NOTSET              ; Default: WARNING
    handlers = LdapSearchLog    ; Default: stderr
    propagate = 0               ; Default: 1
    

    Here's an example of the file stanza after removing the inline comments:

    [logger_root]
    level = NOTSET
    handlers = LdapSearchLog
    
    [logger_LdapSearchCommand]
    qualname = LdapSearchCommand
    level = NOTSET
    handlers = LdapSearchLog
    propagate = 0
    
  5. Restart Splunk Enterprise on the search head(s).
  6. Restart the deployment server.
  7. Log into Splunk Enterprise.
  8. Choose Splunk Supporting Add-on for Active Directory from the list of apps.
