I'm wanting to group streamstats results by either one or two fields. Grouping by sourcetype would be sufficient. Grouping by index and sourcetype would be ideal. This query works fine for a single sourcetype, however does not work for multiple sourcetypes. The desired outcome is one record per unique sourcetype and/or index. Example query: | tstats count as event_count where index="aws_p" sourcetype="aws:cloudwatch:guardduty" by _time span=1m index sourcetype | sort _time | streamstats window=1 current=false sum(event_count) as event_count values(_time) as prev_time by index sourcetype | eval duration=_time-prev_time | eval minutes_between_events=duration/60 | stats min(minutes_between_events) as min_minutes_between_events avg(minutes_between_events) as avg_minutes_between_events max(minutes_between_events) as max_minutes_between_events by index sourcetype | eval avg_minutes_between_events=round(avg_minutes_between_events,0) | eval max_hours_between_events=round(max_minutes_between_events/60,2) results for multiple sourcetypes results for a single sourcetype

@robjackson - I haven't had issues in the past regarding the license server functionality when having Search Heads, Indexers, Heavy Forwarders subscribing to a license server on a higher version. I'd recommend you make full backup of your configuration so you can easily restore if you run into issues as version 9.0 is very new. Another option might be to migrate your license to another Splunk instance such as a Monitor Console or Heavy Forwarder. Rob

Right, it's a workaround and does reload the dash, but it will clear the tokens as long as link back to the base of the app and include no arguments in your link. See below. Example where I used this in one of my dashboards.

I've wanted this functionality as well. @mnj1809 here's a workaround which is essentially creating an html link back to the same dashboard. https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Reusable-Script-Reset-All-Tokens-with-a-Single-Click/m-p/472141 Rob

Splunk recently announced a Critical vulnerability for the Splunk deployment server. Advisory ID: SVD-2022-0608 Published: 2022-06-14 CVSSv3.1 Score: 9.0, Critical CWE: CWE-284 CSAF: 2022-06-14-svd-2022-0608 CVE ID: CVE-2022-32158 Last Update: 2022-06-14 CVSSv3.1 Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H Bug ID: SPL-176829 Security Content: Splunk Process Injection Forwarder Bundle Downloads What can you do to take action right away? My first recommendation would be to shut down your deployment servers as they are really only need to be online for changes to apps/addons deployed via the deployment server and won't disrupt forwarding of Universal or Heavy Forwarders which subscribe/phone home to said deployment servers. Shutting down the deployment server will NOT undeploy apps/addons on client forwarders. The only impact you should have is you won't be able to make updates to forwarder apps/addons to new or existing forwarders while the deployment server is offline. This will block the threat and give you time to make a plan. At present, the only option is to upgrade to Splunk 9.0 which has only been out for a few days. If you take this course of action, I'd highly recommend that you take a full backup of your SPLUNK_HOME directory - often /opt/splunk on many systems so you can roll back if you encounter problems with the upgrade. Typically deployment servers of higher version usually don't have issues working with forwarders on a few versions lower. Technically, the deployment server functionality is packaged with all versions of Splunk Enterprise. My understanding is should shouldn't have to patch Splunk if you don't use this functionality. i.e. you haven't configured deploymentclient.conf on your Universal or Heavy Forwarders to phone home to a deployment server. An alternative to stopping your deployment server is to disable the deployment server functionality from the command line. $ /opt/splunk/bin/splunk disable deploy-server $ /opt/splunk/bin/splunk restart How can you check whether you are using the deployment server functionality if you are unsure? There are a multiple ways. 1. Run this query on your deployment server or your search heads depending on whether you have deployment server splunkd logs forwarding to your indexers or not. index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd_access "phonehome" This will show clients phoning home to deployment server. The host name in the host field should be your deployment server. 2. Check the UI of your deployment server under settings/forwarder management. Under the clients tab, look to see the count of clients phoning home. If you see zero, this instance is not actively being used as a deployment server. i.e. nothing is phoning home to it. If you see 1 or more, then this instance is an active deployment server. 3. Run Btool on the command line of a forwarder that you want to check to see if it's using a deployment server. $ /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk btool deploymentclient list [default] phoneHomeIntervalInSecs = 60 [target-broker:deploymentServer] targetUri = 1.1.123.123:8089 If a targetUri is returned, that's the host/IP of the deployment server this forwarder is trying to use. If you do not get targetUri returned, this forwarder is not using a deployment server. Here's a query you can use to see what classes/apps are pushed out to your clients via deployment server and review for anything suspicious. index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd component="PackageDownloadRestHandler"
| stats values(host) as deployment_server dc(peer) as clients by serverclass app
| sort -clients Here's a dashboard you can drop on either your deployment server or search heads which uses the data found in the deployment server's splunkd.log and will show you deployment server names and hosts checking into your deployment server. <form theme="dark" version="1.1">

Hi @thambisetty it tells me @Rob_Jordan is already taken - looks like that is an even older account of mine - wonder if they could be merged? I think one was rob_jordan and one was Rob_Jordan on the old system and they collided on the new system. Maybe old system was case-sentive?

Ok, I would first start with verifying that either the "RUNNING"/"NOT RUNNING" values (I'm assuming there is an inverse value to RUNNING) are recognized by Splunk as a field. You can check apps.splunk.com to see if there is an addon that will parse your sourcetype into key/value pairs or you may have to write regex to capture the value of the run state into a field. Once it's in a field you can run statistic commands against that field such as | top state by host example inline regex command to extract the state | rex "(?<state>(RUNNING|DOWN))" If you are getting overwhelmed, you may want to start with one of the free classes which will cover fields in Splunk https://www.splunk.com/en_us/training/free-courses/splunk-fundamentals-1.html I also noticed you are running a script from crontab. You could modify the format of your log to log in key-pair values. i.e. process_status="RUNNING" or process_status="UP" or process_status="DOWN" etc. When Splunk encounters key/pair values it will auto extract fields which should make this task much simpler. https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/logging/loggingbestpractices/

I'm not familiar with your specific dataset, however you would want to come up with a base query that matches the events in Splunk that have the states you are trying to track. i.e. index=myindex sourcetype=mysourcetype host IN (host1,host2,host3) service IN (service1,service2,service3) note: you can wildcard parts of the host or service filters with * as well. If wanting all hosts and services, you probably don't need to add a host or service constraint.

your base query | dedup host application | chart values(state) over host by application note: modify fields names to match your dataset then you can color code in a table or single value chart using trellis option

Try something like this for yesterday
index="your_index_here" EventCode="*"
| eval bytes=len(_raw)
| bucket _time span=1d
| stats count sum(bytes) as bytes by _time sourcetype EventCode
| eval KB=round(bytes/1024,0)
| eval MB=round(bytes/1024/1024,0)
| eval GB=round(bytes/1024/1024/1024,2)
| table _time sourcetype EventCode count bytes KB MB GB
| sort -bytes
You can also filter for specific codes like this using the IN command with a list of codes or patterns
index="your_index_here" EventCode="" EventCode IN(515,462*,40962)
| eval bytes=len(_raw)
| bucket _time span=1d
| stats count sum(bytes) as bytes by _time sourcetype EventCode
| eval KB=round(bytes/1024,0)
| eval MB=round(bytes/1024/1024,0)
| eval GB=round(bytes/1024/1024/1024,2)
| table _time sourcetype EventCode count bytes KB MB GB
| sort -bytes
I haven't tried getting an exact match, however you may have to search all time and use _indextime as constraint. _indextime being the time the indexer see the event. That's the time that should match with the ingest volume.

If you're looking estimate license volume for specific events, you can use the length of an event in bytes and then convert to MB/GB.
index=your index here your search constraints here
| eval bytes=len(_raw)
| timechart sum(bytes) as bytes
| eval KB=bytes/1024
| eval MB=bytes/1024/1024
| eval GB=bytes/1024/1024/1024

Also consider that timestamps and index time can factor into this calculation as well.
If you add a new input on to a forwarder, you could potentially ingest data today that is more than a day old.
The license counts against data ingested in the current day regardless of whether the event timestamp is in the past or the future.
tstats will use what Splunk considers the event time (_time) in count not the index time (_indextime)

Possibly two forwarders on the same host and put one rule on each forwarder?
