My feedback to Splunk:

URL: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/Knowledge/ConfigureKVstorelookups
Additional comments: Under the section: About KV Store Collections, 2nd paragraph, the following sentence repeats the word that twice:

One of those fields should have a set of values that that match with the values of a field in your event data, so that lookup matching can take place.

Thanks, Daniel.

We’ve made some updates to address the awkward wording and inconsistency of formatting in links to the Splexicon glossary.

We appreciate the assistance!

My feedback to Splunk:

Result: YES
URL:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/Knowledge/Extenddatasets
Additional comments: In the section: Extension and table acceleration, first paragraph, last sentence it states the following: Acceleration can be applied only to datasets that use purely streaming commands commands. This sounds a bit unusual, and the following section: Accelerate Table datasets has a bullet point that references this same sentence, except for the fact that steaming commands is hyperlinked, without the extra commands word. Not sure if this instance would apply in removal of the extra commands word or not.

Hi Daniel,

Yes, this page was taken down when Splunk decommissioned the community wiki site some time ago. I’ve removed the link to it from this topic and a second topic in which I found it.

We’ve been cleaning up the other typos you’ve reported. You have an excellent eye for detail!

Thanks and regards,

Andrew Brown

Additional comments: this link is referenced a lot throughout this entire manual, but it doesn’t seem to link to the 3rd party RegEx Tools, has this page been taken down?
