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…

After your comment on pulling out the src_ip I was ripping my hair out trying to find the field. I nthe end I did a sort of mash up with the rhost field that kind of did what I wanted but not exactly. It was confusing me becasue I wasn't…

Ben... What do you find confusing about field allocation? Is the "Other Interesting Fields" concept that shows up in the blue sidebar?

Next up.... Make your own app.... I'll do a video on it, and you'll see why :)
Upgraded to 4.0
OK so I have finally upgraded to version 4.0 and now I am kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner! I mean I should have known that if someone known as the splunk ninja recommends you to upgrade your Splunk install then you REALLY should listen to him!It would seem that the event segmentation works much better and now it is behaving how I would expect. I must admit that I was getting a little confused with the field allocation seemingly changing all the time but 4 seems to be solid as a rock.See More

Installed Splunk a week ago and it's already proving useful
So I initially came across Splunk when seeing a banner ad on a blog site (may have been www.techrepublic.com) and I was inquisitive as to what the hell it was. After passing it over to a colleague to check out he informed me that it looked really great and we could definitely benefit from implementing it.He set up the server but for a variety of reasons we never really embraced it. It wasn't until recently that I decided to dive in and check it out. I decided to ditch the VM that we had been…See More

Excellent Post. Recommendations. Upgrade to Splunk 4.x its like a monster truck rally (complete with flames) compared to the 3.x product. Field extraction (making structured sense out of those logs) is really easy to do. Next to each event (under…
