Upgrade:

Important: Please note that an upgrade to the PowerConnect Splunkbase version 7.0.+ will require a restart of the search head where the existing app is installed. Therefore, the upgrade needs to be scheduled within your organization’s maintenance windows because the search head will temporarily be unavailable.

BEFORE COMPLETING THE UPGRADE: For Splunk Cloud customers running PowerConnect Splunk app versions 7.0.0-7.2.0, please refer to Knowledge Base #173 to address a bug specific to Splunk Cloud that may prevent the Master Inventory Lookup (and potentially other KVstore-based lookups) from generating properly.

...

  1. If you want to convert your existing master inventory lookup to the new sap_systems lookup, please run the search below (run without the final outputlookup line to test the output):

    Code Block
    | makeresults count=0
    | append
        [inputlookup master_inventory_lookup
        | eval sys_type="abap"
        | rename CPU as core_count "Category Type" as level "Component Version" as comp_version "Database Host" as db_host "Database Name" as db_name "Database System" as db_type "Database Version" as db_version "File System" as file_sys "IP" as ip "Installation Number" as install_id "Instance Name" as instance_name "Kernel Release" as kernel_release "Machine Type" as machine_type "Memory" as memory_gb "Operating System" as os_type "Source" as sys_id "Unicode System" as unicode "User Preference" as user_pref]
    | append
        [inputlookup jmx_lookup
        | eval sys_type="java",sys_subtype=""
        | rename source as sys_id]
    | append
        [inputlookup cloud_api_source_lookup.csv
        | eval sys_type="cloud",sys_subtype="api-m"
        | rename sid as sys_id]
    | append
        [inputlookup cloud_cpi_source_lookup.csv
        | eval sys_type="cloud",sys_subtype="cpi"
        | rename sid as sys_id]
    | append
        [inputlookup cloud_ariba_source_lookup.csv
        | eval sys_type="cloud",sys_subtype="ariba"]
    | append
        [inputlookup cloud_cp_audit_log_source_lookup.csv
        | eval sys_type="cloud",sys_subtype="btp"]
    | append
        [inputlookup cloud_cpq_source_lookup.csv
        | eval sys_type="cloud",sys_subtype="cpq"]
    | append
        [inputlookup cloud_success_factor_source_lookup.csv
        | eval sys_type="cloud",sys_subtype="sf"]
    | table sys_id level sys_type sys_subtype instance_name ip install_id machine_type core_count os_type comp_version kernel_release file_sys memory_gb db_name db_type db_version db_host unicode user_pref status
    | outputlookup append=true pc_sap_systems
  2. Once your SAP Systems lookup has been created, it is recommended to run the SAP Systems Lookup Generator search in the “Wizard for New SAP SIDs and Instances Discovery” to refresh your system lookup.
