  1. Incident Review:

    Error Message: Unable to xml-parse the following data: %s

  2. Investigations:

Try the fix for SOLNESS-18773

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ES/5.3.0/RN/KnownIssues

Assuming it's ES on Windows. If that doesn't fix it, suggest contacting support (and advising the fix here too would be nice) 🙂

Cheers,

Chris.

After replacing the python script (log.py) provided by Splunk support, the issue is fixed and it works for Linux environment as well.

1. Stop Splunk.

2. Take backup of the following two files. (e.g. log.py.bak)

$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\SA-Utils\lib\SolnCommon\log.py
$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite\lib\SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite\log.py

3. Replace the following two files with the attached modified log.py file. (Rename the file extension to ".py" before replacing.)

$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\SA-Utils\lib\SolnCommon\log.py
$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite\lib\SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite\log.py

4. Start Splunk again.
