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
2024-07-09	SPL-258768, SPL-261041, SPL-261267	dropEventsOnUploadError setting is not respected for ingest actions file system destination
2024-02-09	SPL-250849	Compression method for Filesystem destination is immutable once created since changing it leads to a corrupt file.
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

Search issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2024-09-06	SPL-262305, SPL-253147	Crashing thread: TcpOutEloop Workaround: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Knowledge-Management/Splunk-crash-during-tcpout-outputs-conf-reload/td-p/699397
2024-08-22	SPL-261357	DeprecationWarning in sendemail.py for the urllib.splitquery method Workaround: No workaround needed; the errors are benign and will be eliminated in an upcoming release.
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: In Splunk Enterprise 8.1.7, 8.2.4, and higher 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.

Federated search issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
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
2024-09-05	SPL-262259	Splunk to Splunk federated searches do not utilize the dispatch.index_earliest and dispatch.index_latest parameters in the saved search configuration when the search is dispatched to the remote search head, leading to incorrect results Workaround: These parameters can be added as a part of the search string, using the _index_earliest and _index_latest time modifiers. This will send the parameters correctly to the remote search head. See <a href=https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/SearchTimeModifiers#List_of_time_modifiers>List of time modifiers</a> in the Search Reference.

2024-03-11	SPL-252400	federated search for Splunk: a wildcard search on a search head that has unreachable federated indexes should not fail Workaround: Make sure that standard federatd provider is reachable
2024-01-18	SPL-249666, SPL-244551	FS-StandardMode : Standalone sub-search with HEAD doesn't return any results
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.
2023-05-02	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 [[Documentation:SplunkCloud:latest:RESTREF:RESTfederated|Federated search endpoint descriptions]] in the REST API Reference Manual.

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`.

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. Reorders the KV pairs alphanumerically within a stanza. Reorders stanzas within the file.

Admin and CLI issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2024-04-26	SPL-254998	effective concurrency limit for scheduled searches in not updating in search prefs manager page
2024-04-01	SPL-253367, SPL-251833	You might receive a Bulletin message in Splunk Web from indexers and indexer cluster members that indicates a security risk warning for the allowed e-mail domains list for alert actions. Workaround: The following error appears: Security risk warning: Found an empty value for 'allowedDomainList' in the alert_actions.conf configuration file. If you do not configure this setting, then users can send email alerts with search results to any domain. You can add values for 'allowedDomainList' either in the alert_actions.conf file or in Server Settings > Email Settings > Email Domains in Splunk Web. You might receive this message multiple times, once for every indexer or indexer cluster member that is in your environment. It can happen any time that an indexer or indexer cluster member restarts. If you receive this Bulletin message from an indexer or indexer cluster member, you can safely dismiss it without further action. If you receive the message from or while logged into a search head or search head cluster member, then the potential security risk that it indicates is valid. To address the problem, configure the list of internet domains to which the search head can send emails as part of alert actions, as described in Configure email notification for your Splunk instance in the Alerting Manual.
2021-03-26	SPL-203060	The splunkd process changes the local distsearch.conf on service start Workaround: There is no workaround.

2018-08-13	SPL-158658	A timeout or slow response when accessing Splunk Web Licensing page Workaround: A timeout or slow performance of the license management page is caused by a build-up of historical license warning messages, which are processed every time the page is accessed. Can be verified by running this search on the License Manager: | rest splunk_server=local /services/licenser/messages If a high value is returned for that end point, you are likely affected. Log a support ticket with Splunk to obtain a license reset key, and apply the key to clear out any historical license warning messages. After the reset license is applied, the license management pages should load normally.
2017-11-29	SPL-146820	Unable to access some settings/manager pages (data model editor) if starting from the setup page of a non-visible app Workaround: Navigate to a visible app, such as the search and reporting app, and access the Splunk settings pages from that app context.

Add any capabilities that the other user roles have to the "admin" role.

Splunk Analytics for Hadoop

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.
2015-09-09	ERP-1650	timestamp data type not properly deserialized.
2015-08-05	ERP-1619	Searching on a newly created archive index before the bucket copy saved search is run causes a filenotfound exception. Workaround: Reenable the bucket copy saved search and let it run, or force the archiving to happen via | archivebuckets force=1 and then rerun the search.

2014-10-03	ERP-1164	Report acceleration summary gets deleted when two Splunk Analytics for Hadoop instances point to the same Splunk working directory. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, make sure that vix.splunk.home.hdfs (or Working directory in the UI) is unique on both search heads that are not in a pool. To keep your instances in the same working directory, configure vix.splunk.search.cache.path to be unique on both search heads.
