2022-02-25 SOLNESS-30127 Required admin role capabilities clarified for Splunk Enterprise Security.
2021-03-24 SOLNESS-26297 Poor error handling on invalid identity_manager stanzas

2020-07-30 SOLNESS-23521 Identity Management: Only transforms from specific apps are being displayed on "New Asset" modal
2020-07-14 SOLNESS-23451 Notable Event Framework: Searches converted from XS to MLTK did not have their tokens updated

Workaround:
Update the rule_description for the following searches.


[Network - Unusual Volume of Network Activity - Rule]
action.notable.param.rule_description = An unusual volume of network activity was detected. $src_count$ unique sources have generated network traffic in the past 15 minutes and $total_count$ network events have been observed in the same time period.



[Network - Substantial Increase in Port Activity (By Destination) - Rule]
action.notable.param.rule_description = A statistically significant increase in the volume of activity on port $dest_port$ was noted. Today's value is $dest_port_traffic_count$.



[Network - Substantial Increase in an Event - Rule] 
action.notable.param.rule_description = A statistically significant increase in the volume of $signature$ events was noted. Today's value is $ids_attacks$.
2020-05-15 SOLNESS-22864, SOLNESS-22834 Glass table editor navigation is missing with Splunk Enterprise 8.0.x in on-prem environments
2020-05-13 SOLNESS-22828 Notable event status or owner sometimes are wrong because of size of incident_review collection

Workaround:
Set max_rows_per_query in limits.conf to a size greater than the size of the incident_review_lookup collection and restart Splunk.

To check this:

index=_introspection host+<ES SH> sourcetype=kvstore "data.ns"="SA-ThreatIntelligence.incident_review" | stats max(data.count) AS count

And if this count is bigger than the max_rows_per_query limit in limits.conf, increase it on the search head(s):

limits.conf:
[kvstore]
max_rows_per_query = <something bigger than the count above>

and restart Splunk afterwards.

2020-05-11 SOLNESS-22809 CustomSearchBuilder: Retention component for kvstore backed search-driven-lookup not working
2020-04-02 SOLNESS-22269, SOLNESS-21618 CSB build request includes query string + lookup count exceed
2019-03-15 SOLNESS-18377, SPL-167855 Workbench: custom visualizations don't work in workbench
