Date filed Issue number Description
2019-02-19 SOLNESS-18079 Port And Protocol Tracker Lookup Gen isn't tracking allowed ports
2018-11-26 SOLNESS-17110 ES notable events has different urgencies which are not listed in the urgency lookup.
2018-09-18 SOLNESS-16563 globedistance macro units syntax does not match usage in summary gen search

Workaround:
The following syntax for Access - Geographically Improbable Access - Summary Gen:

eval key=mvsort(mvappend(src."->".dest, NULL, dest."->".src)) | dedup key, user | `globedistance(src_lat,src_long,dest_lat,dest_long,"m")`
 

Should be:
eval key=mvsort(mvappend(src."->".dest, NULL, dest."->".src)),units="m" | dedup key, user | `globedistance(src_lat,src_long,dest_lat,dest_long,units)`
 
2018-06-01 SOLNESS-15565 Incident Review: Notable Event with urgency=unknown not showing up

Workaround:
Don't allow notable events to take on invalid/unknown urgencies by overriding the "get_urgency" macro.



## SA-ThreatIntelligence/local/macros.conf

suppress = Splunk_SA_CIM
2018-02-13 SOLNESS-14596 TA-cef: (KV_MODE=auto) does not properly extract CEF events
