SplunkBase

Also available on SplunkBase as Alerts for Splunk Admins For some searches you will need the companion app, the TA-Alerts for Splunk Admins app TA-Alerts for SplunkAdmins github or TA-Alerts for SplunkAdmins splunkbase

Introduction

This application accompanies the Splunk conf 2017 presentation "How did you get so big? Tips and tricks for growing your Splunk installation from 50GB/day to 1TB/day"

The overall idea behind this application is to provide a variety of alerts that detect issues or potential issues within the splunk log files and then advise via an alert that this has occurred This application was built as there were a variety of messages in the Splunk console and logs in Splunk that if acted upon could have prevented an issue within the environment.

The original presentation is available as a recording or PDF The powerpoint should it be required is available here

There are many potential alerts that might cause an issue so this application has all alerts disabled by default, post-installation once the required macros are configured you can enable the alerts you wish to use and add the required actions

There are also dashboards for investigating indexer performance, heavy forwarder queue usage, data model acceleration issues among other items that may be of interest to a Splunk admin

Please note that the all alerts & dashboards were tested on Linux-based Splunk infrastructure, with AIX, Linux and Windows forwarders

If you are running your Splunk enterprise installation on Windows or have customised your installation directory you will need to customise some of the macros such as splunkadmins_splunkd_source to point to the correct splunkd log file location

Also note that this application contains a very large number of alerts which you can use, you may wish to utilise the allow_skew in savedsearches.conf to allow the scheduler to balance out the scheduled alerts execution times

Finally, the application has evolved over the years, more recent releases have resulted in very generic alerts such as AllSplunkEnterpriseLevel - Splunkd Log Messages Admins Only, this is designed as a "catch all" to cover many splunkd log messages. The older alerts are very specific as the team I worked in was new to Splunk and required a more specific outcome/action based on each alert Feel free to use either, and feedback or contributions via github or email are always welcome

Macros - required configuration

The various saved searches and dashboards use macros within their searches, you will need to update the macros to ensure the searches/dashboards work as expected To check the contents of the macros in Splunk 7 or newer, use CTRL-SHFT-E within the search window

The macros are listed below, many expect a host=A OR host=B item to assist in narrowing down a search while others expect only a single value...note that for splunk_server values they are always lower-case and case-sensitive!

indexerhosts - a host=... list of your indexers (for example host=indexer1 OR host=indexer2)

heavyforwarderhosts - a host=... list of your heavy forwarders (for example host=heavyforwarder1 OR host=heavyforwarder2)

searchheadhosts - a host=... list of your search head(s) (for example host=searchhead1 OR host=searchhead2)

localsearchheadhosts - a host=... list of your search head(s) within the cluster that these alerts are running on

splunkenterprisehosts - a host=... list of any Splunk enterprise instance (for example host=indexer1 OR host=searchhead1 OR ...)

deploymentserverhosts - a host=... list of deployment server(s) (for example host=splunkdeploymentserver)

licensemasterhost - a host=... entry for the license master server (for example host=splunklicensemaster)

searchheadsplunkservers - a splunk_server=... list of any Splunk search head hosts (for example splunk_server=searchhead*)

splunkindexerhostsvalue - a splunk_server=... list of any Splunk indexer hosts (for example splunk_server=indexer*), or a splunk_server_group=indexer_group

splunkadmins_splunkd_source - this defaults to source=*splunkd.log, for a slight improvement in performance you can make this a specific file such as /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log

splunkadmins_splunkuf_source - this defaults to source=*splunkd.log, you may wish to narrow down this location if your splunkd logs on universal forwarders have consistent installation directories

splunkadmins_mongo_source - this defaults to source=*mongod.log, for a slight improvement in performance you can make this a specific file such as /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/mongod.log

splunkadmins_clustermaster_oshost - a host=... entry for the cluster master server (for example host=splunkclustermaster)

The macros are used in various alerts which you can optionally enable, the alerts will raise a triggered alert only as emails are not allowed for Splunk app certification purposes The macros are also used in the dashboards for this application

There are also other macros you might want to consider editing before enabling the alerts, for example splunkadmins_replicationfactor.

The vast majority of the alerts also have a macro(s) which you can customise to tweak the search results, for example the macro splunkadmins_weekly_truncated allows the alert, IndexerLevel - Weekly Truncated Logs Report, to be customised without changing the alert itself. This will make upgrading to a new version of this app more straightforward I have attempted to provide an appropriate macro in any alert where I deemed it appropriate, feedback is welcome for any alert that you believe should have a macro or requires further improvement

Installation

The application is designed to work on a search head or search head cluster instance, installation on the indexing tier is not required. You may wish to use your monitoring console server as the search head to run this app on (as it will have splunk_server_groups configured for your environment). There are a few searches that use REST API calls which are specific to the search head cluster they run on. These alerts will have to be placed on each search head or search head cluster, alternatively any server with the required search peers will also work, the relevant alerts are:

  • SearchHeadLevel - Accelerated DataModels with All Time Searching Enabled
  • SearchHeadLevel - Realtime Scheduled Searches are in use
  • SearchHeadLevel - Realtime Search Queries in dashboards
  • SearchHeadLevel - Scheduled Searches without a configured earliest and latest time
  • SearchHeadLevel - Scheduled searches not specifying an index
  • SearchHeadLevel - Scheduled searches not specifying an index macro version
  • SearchHeadLevel - Scheduled Searches Configured with incorrect sharing
  • SearchHeadLevel - Saved Searches with privileged owners and excessive write perms
  • SearchHeadLevel - User - Dashboards searching all indexes
  • SearchHeadLevel - User - Dashboards searching all indexes macro version
  • SearchHeadLevel - Users exceeding the disk quota (recent jobs list uses a REST call so you may need to adjust the search), the SearchHeadLevel - Users exceeding the disk quota introspection is a non-search head specific alternative

The following reports also are specific to a search head or search head cluster:

  • SearchHeadLevel - Alerts that have not fired an action in X days
  • SearchHeadLevel - Data Model Acceleration Completion Status
  • SearchHeadLevel - Macro report
  • What Access Do I Have?

The following dashboards are search head or search head cluster specific:

  • Data Model Rebuild Monitor
  • Data Model Status

The following reports / alert must either run on the cluster master or a server where the cluster master is a peer:

  • ClusterMasterLevel - Per index status
  • ClusterMasterLevel - Primary bucket count per peer

Dependencies

This application is designed to work independently of other Splunk applications, however there are a few reports and dashboards that rely on external apps to work as expected, these include:

Dashboards:

  • splunk_forwarder_data_balance_tuning - the ScatterPlot visualization relies on the Splunk MLTK (Machine Learning Toolkit), note the dashboard works without this as well

Alerts/Reports:

  • IndexerLevel - RemoteSearches Indexes Stats Wilcard
  • IndexerLevel - RemoteSearches Indexes Stats
  • SearchHeadLevel - audit logs showing all time searches
  • SearchHeadLevel - platform_stats access summary
  • SearchHeadLevel - Script failures in the last day
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Queries summary exact match
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Queries summary non-exact match
  • SearchHeadLevel - Searches dispatched as owner by other users
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Messages field extractor slow
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Messages user level
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Messages admins only
  • SearchHeadLevel - SmartStore cache misses - dashboards
  • SearchHeadLevel - SmartStore cache misses - savedsearches = SearchHeadLevel - SmartStore cache misses - combined

Will have more accurate search results with the base64 decoding working, decrypt2 github or decrypt2 SplunkBase can work for this situation, you will need to update the macro base64decode in this app once decrypt2 is installed

The following alerts/reports:

  • IndexerLevel - RemoteSearches Indexes Stats Wilcard
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Queries summary non-exact match
  • SearchHeadLevel - Dashboards using depends and running searches in the background

Require the TA-Alerts for SplunkAdmins github or TA-Alerts for SplunkAdmins splunkbase to work as sexpected

Using the application

Once the application is installed, all alerts are disabled by default and you can enable those you require or want to test in your local environment If you choose not to customise the macros then many searches will search for all hosts, which will make the alerts and dashboards inaccurate!

Which alerts should be enabled?

The alerts are all useful for detecting a variety of different scenarios which may or may not be applicable within your Splunk environment, in many ways this application has evolved into a library of possible alerts or explanation of alerts, it does not make sense to turn on all the alerts as such as some overlap

The description field has an (extremely) simple way of determining if an alert will require action, there are three levels:

  • Low - the alert is informational and likely relates to a potential issue, these alerts may produce false alarms
  • Moderate - the alert is a warning, most likely further action will need to be taken, a moderate chance of false alarms
  • High - the alert is likely relating to something that requires action and there is a very low chance that this will create false alarms

I do not have a nice way to auto-enable various alerts excluding editing the local/savedsearches.conf or via the GUI, any contribution of a setup file would be welcome here!

How is this application used?

In the current environment the vast majority of the alerts are enabled to detect issues, they raise automated tickets or email depending on the urgency of the specific alert. There are a few environment characteristics that may require changes to the way the app is used, and feedback is welcome if there is a nicer way to structure the alerts/application The overall assumption is that the admin(s) are not carefully watching the splunkd logs or the messages in the console of the monitoring server/Splunk servers

How is this application tested?

Before 2019 the universal forwarders in use are installed on a mix of Windows, Linux & AIX servers, in 2019 and beyond the testing scope has been vastly reduced to focus primarily on Splunk enterprise servers All heavy forwarders, and Splunk enterprise installations are Linux based, while I expect the alerts will work with only changes to the macros.conf for a Windows based environment this remains untested The test environment for this application has a single indexer cluster and two search head clusters

Why was this application and associated conf talk created?

Inspired by articles such as "Things I wish I knew then" and knowledge collected from various conference replays, SplunkAnswers, 200+ support tickets & nearly four years of working on a Splunk environment I decided that I would attempt to share what I have learned in an attempt to prevent others from repeating the same mistakes There are many Splunk conf talks available on this subject in various conference replays, however my goal was to provide practical steps to implement the ideas. That is why this application exists

Which alerts are best suited to automation?

  • SearchHeadLevel - Scheduled searches not specifying an index
  • SearchHeadLevel - Scheduled Searches Configured with incorrect sharing
  • SearchHeadLevel - Splunk login attempts from users that do not have any LDAP roles
  • SearchHeadLevel - Scheduled Searches That Cannot Run
  • SearchHeadLevel - Scheduled Searches without a configured earliest and latest time
  • SearchHeadLevel - Users exceeding the disk quota
  • SearchHeadLevel - Users with auto-finalized searches
  • SearchHeadLevel - User - Dashboards searching all indexes
  • SearchHeadLevel - Detect Excessive Search Use - Dashboard - Automated
  • SearchHeadLevel - Detect lookups that have not being accessed for a period of time
  • SearchHeadLevel - WLM aborted searches
  • SearchHeadLevel - Dashboards with all time searches set
  • SearchHeadLevel - SavedSearches using special characters
  • SearchHeadLevel - Dashboards using special characters
  • SearchHeadLevel - Dashboards using depends and running searches in the background
  • SearchHeadLevel - Summary searches using realtime search scheduling
  • SearchHeadLevel - Searches dispatched as owner by other users
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Messages user level
  • SearchHeadLevel - audit logs showing all time searches
  • SearchHeadLevel - summary indexing searches not using durable search

Are all well suited to an automated email using the sendresults command or a similar function as they involve end user configuration which the individual can change/fix

This application was first created in 2017 and both Splunk and the application have evolved during this time period. This application is a library of potential alerts that could be used in a Splunk environment so it would never be a good idea to turn on all alerts from this application.

KVStore Usage

Some CSV lookups are now replaced with kvstore entries due to the ability to sync the kvstore across multiple search head or search head cluster(s) via apps like KV Store Tools Redux

platform_stats reports

There are a number of reports with the keyword "platform_stats" in the title, these were designed to run mcollect commands (or to use summary indexing and durable search) to collect data into a metrics index The metrics then contain detailed information around the number of users using Splunk per-search head cluster, data indexed at the indexing tier, resource usage per user et cetera. There is plenty of detail in here but dashboards were not included for the information built from them, contributions welcome

Detecting which indexes are searched by Splunk users

As of version 8.0.8 there is still no accurate way to detect which indexes were searched by a user based on their level of access, the audit logs simply do not record which indexes were accessed Therefore the following searches are part of this app to help achieve this goal:

  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Queries summary exact match
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Queries summary non-exact match

As per the searches description they both require other reports such as SearchHeadLevel - Macro report, the description of each search details the various reports they rely on to make them work.

However these complicated searches are not 100% accurate, alternative searches exist in this app to work at the indexing tier:

  • IndexerLevel - RemoteSearches Indexes Stats
  • IndexerLevel - RemoteSearches Indexes Stats Wildcard

The remote_searches.log at the indexing tier does not (usually) need to perform macro substitution but instead you do not have information around the user that ran the searches so this search is more likely to overcount index access than the search tier version, it is also less likely to miss an index due to macro usage or similar...

In more detail, the challenges with the search head level's audit.log searches are:

  • You cannot determine which index was used if multiple indexes were specified, for example a search such as index=A OR index=B, if this search results in more than 0 results, then you cannot be sure which index returned the results so both are recorded by searches in this app
  • macros, eventtypes, tags and datamodels are recorded in the audit.log so you need to substitute the macro/eventtype/tag to correctly determine if an index is in use, to make this more complicated, macros can be nested so a macro may refer to another macro and the 2nd or 3rd macro may contain the index= information
  • There are many ways to search an index, such as index= "", index IN (...), the regex'es attempt to deal with the various straightforward scenarios such as NOT index=A index=B, but it is not straightforward to correctly extract index names from the audit.log in all scenarios
  • The audit.log information for ad-hoc searches does not record app-context, therefore even if you know the macro and user information, you cannot be sure which app the search was run from and therefore you cannot correctly substitute the macro/tag/eventtype information
  • The queries I have built search for a scan_count of > 0, this way index=randomstring doesn't appear as an index access, however if a search is trying to use a valid index and the scan_count is 0 the search is not counted (this would likely be an edge case)...

At the indexing tier the remote_searches.log file has different challenges:

  • While macros, eventtypes and tags are expanded (in most cases, there are bugs that allow macros to reach the indexing tier), you instead lose the user context in cases such as ad-hoc searches. This means that a search like index=* run by a user with permissions to access 1 index to these searches will appear to be accessing all indexes. The current implementation of the RemoteSearches queries in this app assume access to all indexes if the username is unknown (which may result in excess matching rather than missing searches)
  • app context is again missing for ad-hoc searches, although this is less important at the indexing tier
  • You cannot determine which index was used if multiple indexes were specified, for example a search such as index=A OR index=B, if this search results in more than 0 results, then you cannot be sure which index returned the results so both are recorded by searches in this app
  • If the log line is very long it is truncated with a message similar to ...{skipping 46464 bytes}..., this often results in the last index= in the log getting truncated and also some index= strings from the search will not appear in the logs (for example in a datamodel acceleration search with many indexes listed)
  • Note that searches with a scan_count of 0 are counted, there is an additional metric to measure scan count if you wish to find only indexes that are scanning more than 0 data

Either way the search head level version seems to be "good enough" to determine who is searching which index in most cases, the RemoteSearches queries cover some of the edge cases but the count will generally be higher than expected, the below ideas require more votes if these issues are important to you.

The following ideas relate to this issue: Better audit logs Provide index access statistics to assist in capacity planning of the indexing tier

Which searches require the TA-Alerts for SplunkAdmins add-on?

  • IndexerLevel - RemoteSearches Indexes Stats Wilcard
  • SearchHeadLevel - Search Queries summary non-exact match
  • SearchHeadLevel - Dashboards using depends and running searches in the background

Other notes

search_id's

The macro search_type_from_sid attempts to determine the search "type" based on id and this worked quite well in older versions. There are many variations which the macro doesn't show as they are effectively ad-hoc searches in my understanding, these include:

  • md_ for metadata searches
  • ta_ for typeahead searches
  • sd_ (appears to be another kind of ad-hoc search)
  • rt_ for realtime search

In 9.1.3 the search_id pattern appears to have changed, or at least I didn't notice this change in 9.1.3, now there are search id's that start with:

  • deep-dive-
  • degraded-entities
  • episode-review-
  • event_management_query
  • health-score-tile-search
  • health-score-tree-base
  • kpi-health-score-sparklines
  • notable-events-search
  • service-health-score
  • side-kpi-table
  • single-thresholding-preview
  • common-fields-search
  • event-management-detail
  • get-block-listed-fields
  • impact-services-search
  • time-variant-preview
  • trending-ad-analysis
  • trending-ad-mad-analysis

These are appear to be from premium apps but it does imply that there is a mechanism to customize the search_id's...

Feedback?

Feel free to open an issue on github or use the contact author on the SplunkBase link and I will try to get back to you when possible, thanks!

Release Notes

4.0.0

  • Merged pull request from sifters relating to replacing comment macro with the triple backtick option introduced in Splunk 8.1. This involved editing many searches to change the format of the comments.

New reports:

  • SearchHeadLevel - configtracker index example2

The version number has moved to 4.0.0 as this change has the potential to introduce issues with the change of comment syntax. I've completed multiple reviews and I believe there should be no broken alerts but please report them via the contact the author if you find any

This version removes compatibility with Splunk versions below 8.1 due to the use of the newer comment syntax
