Upgrade issues
Date filed | Issue number | Description |
---|---|---|
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. |
Data input issues
Date filed | Issue number | Description |
---|---|---|
2016-12-05 | SPL-133461, SPL-144794, SPL-144795, SPL-144796, SPL-144797, SPL-144799 | Compressed files are deleted from sinkhole even if decompression fails |

Since issue occurs only when the monitored file is freshly opened to read the new update (not using existing FD), updating the time_before_close setting for the particular input with an appropriate value would be a workaround. For example,
[monitor://C:\inetpub\logs\IISW3CLogs]
disabled = 0
whitelist= .*\.log
followTail = 0
sourcetype = iis
ignoreOlderThan = 7d
time_before_close = 300 |
