Installation

Installation of the apps is intended to be minimally impactful to a Splunk ES environment. If existing assets and identities have been configured care should be take to ensure an asset or identity is only defined once.

Migration from legacy assets and identities

Enterprise Security does not “merge” records from multiple sources having multiple conflicting definitions can impact systems active users.

  • Identify and remove the identity file definition from Splunk Enterprise Security
  • Identify and remove the lookup definition from Splunk Enterprise
  • Identify and remove the lookup file from disk. Important to ensure large bundles do not impact search replication
