Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Description

Not able to create/edit/save reports or alerts from any SHC members. From splunkd.log,  

ERROR AdminManager - Argument 
"default.visualizations.custom.chart-table.chart_table.criticalColour" 
is not supported by this handler.

Investigation

1. From splunkd.log
 

ERROR AdminManager - Argument 
"default.visualizations.custom.chart-table.chart_table.criticalColour" 
is not supported by this handler.


2. From splunkd_stdout.log, there is similar error when reading /opt/splunk/etc/apps/chart-table/default/savedsearches.conf
 

Invalid key in stanza [default] in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/chart-tab/default/savedsearches.conf,
line 5: default.visualizations.custom.chart-table.chart_table.criticalColour (value: #DD0000)


3. From /opt/splunk/etc/apps/chart-table/default/savedsearches.conf, the value is correct compared with other instance
   
    default.visualizations.custom.chart-table.chart_table.criticalColour  (value:  #DD0000)

4. The format of /opt/splunk/etc/apps/chart-table/default/savedsearches.conf is not correct, which is Windows ASCII text with CRLF line terminators

file /opt/splunk/etc/apps/chart-table/default/savedsearches.conf
.../etc/apps/chart-table/default/savedsearches.conf: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminatorsls -lrt   /opt/splunk/etc/apps/chart-table/default/savedsearches.conf
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 1277 Jul 13 15:22 .../etc/apps/chart-table/default/savedsearches.conf


 


Resolution
