Sure... When you do group mapping, map them to groups that don't have the domain admins in them. I have a separate OU=Groups that has "Splunk Users, Splunk Admins, Splunk Power Users" as group names, and specific users…

I want to give LDAP access to my splunk servcie but I don't want the LDAP users to have admin capabilitys in Splunk. Can I keep the domain admins out of Splunk if I have LDAP authentication???

custom time series on x-axis
I have a custom app dumping a custom log to file every night that includes all events in that app. Each log entry has a time stamp, but Splunk only indexes the creation date of the file.
What Splunk reports is that there are 1000 events at midnight, instead of a 1000 events over the year.
How do I create a search/report that uses the timestamp from each entry as the x-axis?
Thank you.

Update: I was able to use a props.conf file to specify what the timestamp should be, and used
TIME_FORMAT=%m/%d/%Y
Now, anything timestamped before 8/28/2004 isn't being recognized as a timestamp and Splunk is grabbing the date of the log file instead. So, now I have 500 events spread out over 6 years (a good thing) and 500 events being recorded as happening today (a bad thing).
Any help on the timestamp issue?

If you want splunk to recognize older data, you can put a setting In your props.conf, just add
MAX_DAYS_AGO =
Set that to the number of days, 2190 would be six years. More or less, now you know which way to go.
stop splunk, clean your index (splunk clean eventdata -index main), restart splunk.
