Version 5.1.2

The Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux was last updated on April 1, 2015.

What’s new

Here’s what’s new in the latest version of the Splunk App for Unix and Linux:

  • Bug fixes.

Current known issues

The Splunk App for Unix and Linux has the following known issues:

  • The values for total, used, and free memory that the vmstat.sh script displays differ from the values that the native vmstat command displays. This is because vmstat.sh counts swap cache memory and buffer memory as part of the total free memory available, and subtracts this from total memory to get used memory. This is by design. (TAG-4014, TAG-9010)
  • The vmstat scripted input does not work on AIX. (TAG-4518)
  • On Linux systems, the cpu.sh script does not display the %steal CPU counter. (TAG-4114)
  • Due to how Mac OS X configures OpenSSL, any Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux scripts that use a hash (such as openPortsEnhanced.sh, passwd.sh, and sshdChecker.sh) do not work by default. To work around the problem, set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable as follows:

export SPLUNK_HOME= _\ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SPLUNK_HOME/lib

(NIX-649, SPL-78856)

  • Using the latest version of Sideview Utils with the add-on causes a problem where dashboards do not populate despite the availability of data. To work around the problem, use version 1.3.5 or earlier of Sideview Utils. (NIX-646)
  • When you install the app and point it at the indexes which contain your nix data, it might take up to 15 seconds for that data to begin showing up in the app. This is due to lookup generation. (NIX-467) The colors in the Metrics Viewer graphs do not update correctly if you transpose sliders in the Metrics Viewer’s threshold bar. (NIX-428)
  • When in node view, the Hosts dashboard sometimes shows inconsistent colors with respect to the detailed view colors. (NIX-353, NIX-409)
  • When you use Firefox to access the Splunk App for Unix and Linux, the radial graphs in the Home dashboard sometimes do not display correctly. The slices within the graphs sometimes spill out of their containers. To work around the problem, refresh the page. (NIX-370, NIX-413)
  • On HP/UX systems, there is no way to obtain the number of threads on a system. This means that the vmstat scripted inputs will always return “?” for threads columns on HP/UX.
  • On Solaris systems, the hardware.sh scripted input sometimes returns empty values for some entries. (NIX-42)
  • If you clone an existing alert saved search, you cannot edit the search using the “Settings: Alerts” configuration page. (NIX-537) * You cannot create custom alerts using Splunk Web; you must do so with configuration files. (NIX-536)
  • If you remove the default group, you sometimes receive an error “Unknown search command: ‘all’” when you load the Home page. (NIX-560)
  • In the Hosts page, if you do not wait for all data on a host information card to load before pinning that card, when you select another host, the original host information card does not remain pinned. (NIX-320)
  • The app’s scripted inputs do not work when the directory that they are hosted in contains spaces. This is particularly an issue with Mac OS X. (NIX-570)
  • The full-screen NOC screen legends do not display correctly in Chrome. (NIX-584)
  • You are not able to drill down into a specific host on the Hosts dashboard. (NIX-587)

Change Log (what’s been fixed)

  • Copyright information for the add-on has been updated and corrected. (TAG-9244)
  • The add-on no longer incorrectly displays in the Splunk Light Dashboards page. (TAG-9182)
  • The su_authentication event type within the add-on now has better su command event-matching logic. (TAG-8938)
  • The uptime.sh script in the add-on now handles ps output properly on HP-UX machines. (TAG-4204)
  • An unnecessary transform for WMI installed apps has been removed. (TAG-4191)
  • The top.sh script now accounts for the fact that, starting with Mac OS X version 10.9 Mavericks and later, there is no rshrd (resident shared address space size) statistic for the top command. On Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks and later, the script now outputs “?” for that statistic, instead of generating an error. (TAG-4077)
  • The add-on no longer attempts to automatically learn new source types when you tell it to monitor large directories. (TAG-3986)
