Upgrade issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2024-04-04	SPL-253690, SPL-247255	Issue with Splunk Enterprise version 9.1.x and 9.2.0 when connected to proxy server Workaround: An enhancement was introduced to the search process in Splunk Enterprise version 9.1.1 that optimizes searches by using the peer's IP address instead of querying DNS for the target peers. If an http_proxy is specified in the server.conf file, the enhancement causes the originating peer's IP address to fail to resolve. As a result, the IP address of the proxy, instead of the originating peer, is logged and utilized in the peers.csv file during search operations, causing the following error message to display in Splunk Web: "Received error from proxy server". To disable the new DNS query optimization and eliminate the error, add the following setting to the distsearch.conf file: [distributedSearch] useIPAddrAsHost=false
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-191850	The .deb installation package will fail if dpkg version doesn't support an .xz compressed control file. Workaround: Update dpkg to version 1.17.6 or later.
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] PASSWORD = <yourpassword>

Data input issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2022-08-17	SPL-228646, SPL-228645	Restart is needed when AWS access key pairs rotate (w/o grace period) or other S3 config settings for Ingest Actions become invalid
2022-08-09	SPL-228117, SPL-257140	"file" is incorrectly listed as a supported scheme for ingest actions in outputs.conf.spec
2022-04-08	SPL-222366	Ingest Actions does not work with Splunk Free, Personalized Devtest, Developer, and Forwarder-only licenses

Search issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2024-05-09	SPL-255514	"| timechart count" search is causing Splunk to crash with "Crashing thread: searchOrchestrator" Workaround: When using a search with only the timechart command in a search: | timechart count Splunk instance will crash with "Crashing thread: searchOrchestrator". Currently there is no workaround other than not using this search string
2024-04-12	SPL-254077, SPL-241370	CIDR match for tstats with ipv6 addresses isn't supported Workaround: The tstats command currently doesn't filter events with CIDR match on fields that contain IPv6 addresses. Running tstats searches containing IPv6 addresses might result in the following error indicating that the addresses are treated as non-exact queries: Error in 'TsidxStats': WHERE clause is not an exact query
2024-04-04	SPL-253690, SPL-247255	Issue with Splunk Enterprise version 9.1.x and 9.2.0 when connected to proxy server Workaround: An enhancement was introduced to the search process in Splunk Enterprise version 9.1.1 that optimizes searches by using the peer's IP address instead of querying DNS for the target peers. If an http_proxy is specified in the server.conf file, the enhancement causes the originating peer's IP address to fail to resolve. As a result, the IP address of the proxy, instead of the originating peer, is logged and utilized in the peers.csv file during search operations, causing the following error message to display in Splunk Web: "Received error from proxy server". To disable the new DNS query optimization and eliminate the error, add the following setting to the distsearch.conf file: [distributedSearch] useIPAddrAsHost=false
2023-06-09	SPL-240774	The DELIMS setting or the kvdelim option may not be applied correctly when the k/v delim character appears 2 or more times in a field value Workaround: Perform field extractions by modifying your searches using other commands, such as the rex command or eval command.
2023-04-14	SPL-238738	Federated Search for Splunk does not support the "Show Source" Field Action
2023-03-28	SPL-237902	Ad hoc searches that specify earliest relative time offset assuming from 'now' should explicitly include 'latest=now' to avoid a potential time range inaccuracy Workaround: Ad hoc searches searches that use the earliest time modifier with a relative time offset should also include 'latest=now' in order to avoid time range inaccuracies. For example, if you want to get all events from the last 10 seconds starting at 01:00:10, the following search returns all events that occur between the time of 01:00:00 and 01:00:10, as expected. index=main earliest=-10s latest=now Running the same search without including 'latest=now' might produce unpredictable results or impact performance in certain scenarios when the search head is overloaded with ad hoc searches. See Specify earliest relative time offset and latest time in ad hoc searches in the Splunk platform Search Manual.
2022-07-29	SPL-227633	Error : Script execution failed for external search command 'runshellscript' Workaround: The setting precalculate_required_fields_for_alerts=0 can be set on saved searches that have no other alert actions attached aside from the "Run A Script" action, to quash the error. For saved searches that have multiple alert action attached, this may not be safe as it will disable back propagation of required fields for all alert actions, which might result in the parent search extracting more fields than required, which could negatively impact performance for that search.
2021-12-21	SPL-216787	Searches are cancelled or time out when the user leaves the browser window or switches tabs. Workaround: Change the job_default_auto_cancel setting in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/web.conf from the default value of 30 to 62. Details This issue is caused by power saving settings in recent browser versions, where Javascript timers may be throttled. The user typically sees the following message in the search window on foreground searches: DAG Execution Exception: Search has been cancelled Search auto-canceled The search job has failed due to an error. You may be able to view the job in the Job Inspector
2021-09-22	SPL-212495, SPL-196040, SPL-219811	Excessive logging 'WARN SearchResultsFiles Unable to parse site_label, label=invalid due to err="Invalid site id: invalid"' for SearchResultsFiles Workaround: none
2020-12-04	SPL-198284, SPL-231587	Crash in search process in PrecacheUsersThread when max_searches_per_process is set lower than default Workaround: Set limits.conf back to default, by removing any override of max_searches_per_process. For example: [search] max_searches_per_process=1 to [search]
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.
2020-02-12	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 ]
2020-01-10	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
2017-07-13	SPL-143111	"Splunkd daemon is not responding" when edit local windows event log collection
2017-04-04	SPL-140765	Splunk having problems extracting json file consisting of 68k plus key-value pairs
2016-11-29	SPL-133182	When two datasets have identical names but one is local (private) while the other is global, attempts to view or extend the global dataset use results from the local dataset instead.
2014-10-02	SPL-91638, SPL-107375	For scheduled searches in a search head cluster, empty search jobs may appear in the job inspector for a cluster member.

Federated search issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2024-12-16	SPL-268104	Federated Searches Running Slow
2024-10-15	SPL-264529, SPL-261801	Search with mcatalog command returns missing metrics when used with append=t and last index is not valid
2024-01-18	SPL-249666, SPL-244551	FS-StandardMode : Standalone sub-search with HEAD doesn't return any results
2023-09-20	SPL-244927, SPL-244124, SPL-247063, SPL-246460, PSRT-7170	Federated searches that include 'table' or 'rex' commands return 0 events when run in verbose mode
2023-09-05	SPL-244248, SPL-239298	Federated Search, Enterprise --> Cloud configuration: Performance degradation increases when the number of indexers increases in the RSH Workaround: One possible workaround is to use a more efficient query. For example, use "| tstats count where index=main by splunk_server" instead of "index=main | stats count by splunk_server". Another workaround is to change the max_workers_searchparser setting to a value lower than its default. Use this workaround if you are using your Splunk Enterprise federated search head (FSH) instance only for running federated searches. This workaround might affect non-federated searches. On the Splunk Enterprise FSH, follow these steps: Create limits.conf in a local/ folder. Set the max_workers_searchparser setting to a number lower than its default (1 or 2). For more information about this setting see the Admin Manual. Test which setting value provides a better performance.
2023-07-20	SPL-242282, SPL-242864	Federated Searches fail for union commands when query optimization diverge between FSH x RSH
2023-05-02	SPL-239436	In standard mode federated search, outputlookup existence check on RSH causes search to terminate early although it is not run on RSH Workaround: Define the lookup on both federated search head and remote search head.
2023-04-14	SPL-238738	Federated Search for Splunk does not support the "Show Source" Field Action
2023-04-10	SPL-238501	Federated search "outputlookup" command cannot add data to local lookup table Workaround: Define the same lookup on the remote search head too, so the remote search head will not error out early and return 0 results.
2022-10-19	SPL-231712	Create/Edit Role - In the UI, the "Wildcards" tool cannot be used to specify allowed federated indexes for standard mode federated search
2022-07-15	SPL-226877	Federated Search UI Error: Cannot create saved search dataset for federated index if dataset name contains space Workaround: Use REST API to create the federated saved search instead: curl -k -u <username>:<password> -X POST https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/search/data/federated/index -d name=federated:index_kathy -d federated.dataset='savedsearch:ss with space' -d federated.provider=remote_deployment_1 See Federated search endpoint descriptions in the REST API Reference Manual.
2022-05-31	SPL-225037	Remote dataset dropdown menu resets to "Index" after selecting federated provider
2022-02-25	SPL-219793	Some commands in federated searches return incorrect resultCount values when run in verbose mode Workaround: Use Verbose and Smart mode specifically for searches with transforming commands like stats, chart, and timechart, and then review the results in the Statistics tab. To review event counts, run non-transforming searches in Fast mode. Search-time field extraction usually requires searches without transforming commands that run in either Verbose or Smart mode. When you run searches in Fast mode, you can ensure that search-time field extraction takes place for federated searches by appending | fields * to the ends of your searches.
2022-02-08	SPL-218841	Reporting command in verbose mode returns 0 events despite correct event_count
2021-10-14	SPL-213745, SPL-251131	Standard mode federated search: Unable to set federated index as default index

Saved search, alerting, scheduling, and job management issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2023-07-21	SPL-242301, SPL-231558	The UI trigger for summary rebuild doesn't work for some accelerated data models that have no root-event dataset and have a reporting command in first root search dataset Workaround: The workaround is to change the Data Model definition to reorder the root search objects such that the root search object that can be accelerated is the very first one in the list. For instance, for the provided `test_internal_audit_logs.json`, edit the JSON file on disk and move `failed_searches` dataset before `fully_completed_searches`.
2023-07-07	SPL-241821	Data Model Accelerations that have Automatic Rebuilds enabled may lead to unbounded memory growth due to search expansion, resulting in Out of Memory errors Workaround: For a data model that is experiencing high memory usage, perform the following steps: On your Splunk platform deployment, in Splunk Web, select Settings and then Data Models. Select Edit for the data model that is experiencing high memory usage, and then select Edit Acceleration. Open Advanced Settings. Disable Automatic Rebuilds. Furthermore, applying index constraints to restrict the list of indexes searched for building a given DMA summary and applying tags allowlisting would help curtail the memory usage.

2021-03-26	SPL-203060	The splunkd process changes the local distsearch.conf on service start Workaround: There is no workaround. After upgrading to Splunk Enterprise 8.x, the splunkd process checks and modifies the local/distsearch.conf on each service start. The process will: Remove any settings that define default values already set in the /default/distsearch.conf file. Removes comments preceded by a hash.
