Upgrade issues
| Date filed | Issue number | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |

| 2020-09-02 | SPL-194536, SPL-193073, SPL-193598 | reverse lookup shows inconsistent behaviors Workaround: i) use calculated field to assign default value OR ii) add default at the end of the lookup csv. 0.0.0.0/0, EXTERNAL |
| 2020-09-02 | SPL-194540, SPL-193073, SPL-193598 | reverse lookup shows inconsistent behaviors Workaround: i) use calculated field to assign default value OR ii) add default at the end of the lookup csv. 0.0.0.0/0, EXTERNAL |
| 2020-09-01 | SPL-194461, SPL-194199 | |fieldformat in |foreach statement doesn't work Workaround: Either use eval or fieldformat outside of foreach instead of ... | foreach field [| eval "<<FIELD>>"=... ] use something like this ... | fieldformat "field"=... |
| 2020-08-04 | SPL-193073, SPL-194540, SPL-193598, SPL-194536 | reverse lookup shows inconsistent behaviors Workaround: i) use calculated field to assign default value OR ii) add default at the end of the lookup csv. 0.0.0.0/0, EXTERNAL |

| 2020-05-12 | SPL-188997, SPL-191847, SPL-192269 | Search performance degradation with chained lookups Workaround: In limits.conf: [lookup] use_lookups_v2=0 This setting is only available in later releases of 7.2.x and 7.3.x. NOTE: This setting is not available in Splunk 8.x. If using this workaround in 7.2.x or 7.3.x, do not upgrade to 8.x until this issue is fixed. |
| 2020-04-28 | SPL-188511, SPL-153652 | srchTimeWin in authorize.conf not applied (when et,lt is specified in the search string) to Fast or Smart or Verbose mode search when configured Workaround: Removed the role from the user/create a new role and change "Restrict search time range" to "-1". |
| 2020-04-21 | SPL-186735, SPL-188481, SPL-189147 | Renaming sourcetypes on search time causing performance impact Workaround: Use the new sourcetype in a search but this does not provide backward compatibility for customer's dashboard searches |
| 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. |
| 2020-03-06 | SPL-184463, SPL-184961 | Multiple timezone indexer cluster - timechart span=1d snaps to multiple hours Workaround: Use "span=24h" instead of "span=1d" On the search head, set limits.conf: [search] phased_execution_mode = singlethreaded On the search head, set user preference timezone to non-default one |
| 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 |
| 2020-01-30 | 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
|
| 2020-01-21 | SPL-181973 | Predict command visualization is broken when the time series starts with an empty fields Workaround: Make sure that there are no leading null values for the field you're predicting: Pick a timerange that is known to start with values if possible. If you're using timechart: Addfixedrange=fto timechart SPL If not, something like this might help: ... | trendline sma5(count) as smooth_count | streamstats max(eval(if(isnotnull(smooth_count),1,null()))) AS flag | where flag=1 | fields - flag | predict smooth_count or something simpler with fillnull: ... | fillnull smooth_count | predict smooth_count However, this will impact the prediction as no data isn't the same as 0 |
| 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 |

| 2019-10-23 | SPL-178302, SPL-176333 | 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 |

| 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. |
| 2017-03-14 | SPL-138731 | New 6.6 and later default SHA256/2048-bit key certificates are not compatible with previous versions SHA1/1024-bit key certificates if cert verification is enabled Workaround: Users can do any of the following: 1. 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. Generate SHA1/1024-bit key certificates using the old root certificate to use with your new 6.6 instance. For convenience, the old root certificate is included in 6.6 in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/prev_release/ |

| 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. |

| Date filed | Issue number | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
