Upgrade issues
Date filed | Issue number | Description |
---|---|---|
2020-12-05 | SPL-198311 | KVstore failed to start after offline upgrade of SHC from Splunk Enterprise 7.x to 8.x Workaround: 1) Use Searchable Rolling Upgrade rather than Offline upgrade for SHC nodes migration/upgrade. 2) If this issue is encountered after offline upgrade, please run the following steps on problematic SH nodes.
- Stop the search head that has the stale KV store member
- Run the command splunk clean kvstore --cluster
- Restart the search head. This triggers the initial synchronization with other KV store members.
- Run the command splunk show kvstore-status to verify synchronization has succeeded. |
2020-08-31 | SPL-194426 | External search command chunked v2 python SDK fails with multibyte result data under python 3. Workaround: Apps may experience this issue if they: implement a custom search command using the Splunk Enterprise SDK for Python between versions 1.6.5 and 1.6.13; are executed by Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud using Python 3; and are sent events with multi-byte characters. App developers whose apps implement a custom search command using a version of the Splunk Enterprise SDK for Python must update to version 1.6.14 or higher and release new versions of their apps. Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud administrators who are using apps impacted by this issue must update to app versions that use the Splunk Enterprise SDK for Python version 1.6.14 or higher. If this is not possible, administrators are encouraged to either: allow these apps to be executed using Python 2; or cease usage of impacted apps until updated versions are available. |
2020-07-10 | SPL-191799 | Upgrading Splunk Enterprise from 7.x or 8.0.x to 8.0.5 breaks Splunk Add-on for Service Now Workaround: As a manual workaround, the "import html" statement on Line 16 of splunk/lib/python3.7/site-packages/splunk/util.py file could be commented out, which does not require Splunk restart to take affect. |
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. |

2021-08-10 | SPL-210070, SPL-209599 | Searches with hundreds of search commands can crash the main Splunk server. |
2021-06-02 | SPL-206635, SPL-210969 | tstats "fillnull_value" only works for results from tsidx (accelerated DM) but not from unaccelerated results (fallback search) Workaround: Use eval (calculated field) in datamodel to fill the null values in the definition itself, with something like this if(isnull(status), "NULL",status) |
2021-05-05 | SPL-205362, SPL-206450 | No events are returned when data with preceding wildcards(*) is ingested Workaround: Switch back to search evaluator v1 $ cat $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/limits.conf

2020-12-06 | SPL-198314, SPL-233681, SPL-233762 | Exporting _time field applies user timezone offset but contains the server's timezone (usually +0000) Workaround: Force a specific time format by using strftime in an eval command. for example, add | convert timeformat="%FT%T.%3Q%z" ctime(_time) to the end of your search |
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"=... |
2020-08-31 | SPL-194426 | External search command chunked v2 python SDK fails with multibyte result data under python 3. Workaround: Apps may experience this issue if they: implement a custom search command using the Splunk Enterprise SDK for Python between versions 1.6.5 and 1.6.13; are executed by Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud using Python 3; and are sent events with multi-byte characters. App developers whose apps implement a custom search command using a version of the Splunk Enterprise SDK for Python must update to version 1.6.14 or higher and release new versions of their apps. Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud administrators who are using apps impacted by this issue must update to app versions that use the Splunk Enterprise SDK for Python version 1.6.14 or higher. If this is not possible, administrators are encouraged to either: allow these apps to be executed using Python 2; or cease usage of impacted apps until updated versions are available. |

2020-07-21 | SPL-192269, SPL-188997 | 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. |
2020-07-15 | SPL-192057, SPL-188608 | Realtime and in-progress adhoc searches shows "Job terminated unexpectedly" on members of SHC other than the SH from which the search originated |
2020-07-10 | SPL-191799 | Upgrading Splunk Enterprise from 7.x or 8.0.x to 8.0.5 breaks Splunk Add-on for Service Now Workaround: As a manual workaround, the "import html" statement on Line 16 of splunk/lib/python3.7/site-packages/splunk/util.py file could be commented out, which does not require Splunk restart to take affect. |

2020-07-03 | SPL-191486, SPL-191993 | CASE() combined with OR and non-CASE() statements only returns the results for the CASE() part Workaround: Change the search to do the case sensitive matching outside of a search command, for example with a |rex command. Fall back to the old search evaluator, this needs to be changed on both search heads and indexers: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/limits.conf: [search] use_search_evaluator_v2 = false |
2020-06-26 | SPL-191342, SPL-191877 | All event types are extracted for numeric _raw data |

2020-03-19 | SPL-185099, SPL-188339 | Datamodel summaries contain wrong addresses for multi-value fields causing errors: Failed to read size=XX events from rawdata. Rawdata may be corrupted Workaround: the problem here is with tsidx files in the summary buckets, so raw data is intact and there is no data loss. The read errors are simply related to bad addresses coming from the summary. The only possible workaround is to disable the acceleration, which is not the best, but for now it is the way to get rid of the problem, until the fix will be delivered. |
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 |

2020-02-12 | 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

2020-01-24 | SPL-182145, SPL-184307 | Issue with eval on _time field before stats, streamstats, eventstats or chart with "latest_time()" "earliest_time()" Workaround: sort on _time before the stats ... | sort 0 - _time |
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 |

2019-08-13 | SPL-174856, SPL-178008, SPL-178009 | Out-of-sync issues can occur when using full or local_only push modes to push configurations from the deployer to the search head cluster Workaround: In full and local_only push modes, the deployer pushes configurations residing in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/shcluster/apps/<app-name>/local directories to the captain, which then replicates them to the other members. During this process, the captain uses a whitelist to determine which configurations to replicate to members. The whitelist excludes certain configuration files, such as server.conf, limits.conf, and indexes.conf. Therefore, if the app local directories on the deployer contain such files, when you push them via full or local_only modes, the captain receives and applies those configurations to its own configuration directories but does not then replicate them to the other members, creating an out-of-sync situation. To avoid this situation, either use the merge_to_default push mode or inspect the deployer's set of app local directories and ensure that they contain only whitelisted files. For details on the configuration replication whitelist, see "Configuration updates that the cluster replicates" in the Distributed Search manual. For details on how the push mode determines the way that the deployer pushes configurations, see "Use the deployer to distribute apps and configuration updates" in the Distributed Search manual. |

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/ |
