We had the same issue and resolved it. The broken clients were all trying to download two versions of an app. I have Splunk_TA_Squid_SiteA and Splunk_TA_Squid_SiteB with competing configurations for the same Squid logs. I didn't realize Server Class SiteA Include was including my SiteB clients. My SiteB clients were downloading both SiteA Squid and SiteB Squid. Once I updated Server Class Site A to only apply to Site A clients and not Site B clients, my Site B clients stopped generating the CheckSum errors. ... View more

Move your uniqueKey to be the first field you map. That solved the issue for me for an Oracle connection.   So either rebuild your output via the GUI or edit db_outputs.conf so the uniquekey is listed first.     ... View more

I had the same issue. The uniqueKey has to be the first key you define. Rebuild your connection with the uniqueKey first (or edit db_outputs.conf) and it should work. It at least worked for me with an Oracle database. ... View more

That did it.

Here are some of my use cases. This requires a relatively professional Linux team and you'll likely have to buy them some donuts. Monitor for SSH activity within the same subnet. No one should be moving laterally. They should be connecting from their endpoint or the gateway/jumphost. Build a list of executed commands (./executable) for each system, alert on anything new. Congrats, you've just built application whitelisting via Splunk. Alert on IP addresses at the command line. Everyone should be using DNS entries for connections, right? If you've got any colleagues or peers that have recently taken the CEH or OSCP courses, ask them to sit down and walk you through what they learned the first day. They'll give you the script kiddie / noob commands to watch for. If you're fancy, build profiling for your Linux users. The su people typically only su, the sudo people typically only sudo. ...

If you're using Enterprise Security, here is a search for SLA for closing a notable event: `notable` | search NOT `suppression` info_search_time=* (urgency=low OR urgency=medium OR urgency=high OR urgency=critical) | eval review_time=coalesce(review_time, now()) | eval response_time=(review_time-info_search_time)/60/60 | eval metric_count=case(status_group==”Open”,”0”,(urgency=="critical" AND response_time<8),"1",(urgency=="high" AND response_time<24),"1", (urgency=="medium" AND response_time<48),"1",(urgency=="low" AND response_time<96),"1",1=1,"0") | stats count sum(metric_count) as metric_met by urgency | eval "SLA Compliance Percent" =round((metric_met*100/count),2) | rename count as "Total Events", urgency as Urgency | fields Urgency, "Total Events", "SLA Compliance Percent" ...

Linux is a little tougher. I've yet to find too many good alerts. This site, Malware Archaeology, has amazing resources for monitoring Windows systems via Splunk. I've implemented a fair number of their use cases. ... View more

I'd recommend against using memberOf for your search. You'll be pulling every account on your domain and churning through the group memberships. You're basically pulling every single account on your domain. The Active Directory team at your site will likely be extremely upset.

There isn't a specific list I've seen anywhere. I've found the generic alerts in Enterprise Security to be mostly useless. Your IDS / IPS or the native systems should be handling a fair majority of those use cases. What sorts of systems are you sending to Splunk? Example Use Cases For Windows: - Who can modify user accounts? Alert if anyone else does it. - Are there any accounts being used that don't match your naming standards? - Are there any accounts of a specific standard behaving differently? For example, is a server account logging in to an endpoint? - List item ... View more

If I'm understanding this correctly, is this what you are looking for: You do a search of problem tickets that have individual ID numbers: search PBM The results are logs for the problem tickets with the various RMTMS values. The RMTMS values are the serial numbers of the machines associated to the problem tickets. You then want to take the serial numbers and search your asset inventory to see what the patch level is and compare the systems to see if they are equivalent? So for instance, I've got problem ID PBM 8675309. The RMTMS values that come back for are serial numbers 00042, 01337, and 01010. I will then search my asset inventory to see if those three systems are all running NT 4 Patch 6 and IIS 3.12? So then my end table would be: 00042 - NT 4 P 6 - IIS 3.12 01337 - OS/S IIS - IBM 2 01010 - NT 4 P 6 - IIS 3.11 Is that correct? ... View more
