Add-ons

Deprecated features

  • The search command globedistance.py was replaced with the macro `globedistance` that uses eval search command functions. The globedistance.py command will be removed in a future release.
  • The threat intelligence sources MaxMind GeoIP ASN IPv4 Database and MaxMind GeoIP ASN IPv6 Database have been removed from ES. If these sources are enabled, the upgrade process will ignore them and proceed normally. If you want to continue to utilize the MaxMind sources, it is recommended that you migrate the inputs to a custom app.
  • The supporting script getdatebucket.py was removed from the SA-ThreatIntelligence app.
  • The alert action Include in RSS feed is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Splunk ES. Correlation searches currently configured to include alerts in RSS feeds will continue to send alerts to RSS feeds in this version.
