Current known issues

The Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange has the following known issues:

Publication date	Defect number	Description
2015-11-13	TAG-9858	The "Track a Message" dashboard can take a very long time to populate. A workaround is available. Speak with your Splunk support representative for additional details.
N/A	TAG-9012	In certain cases, the app setup prerequisite check prevents you from proceeding even though all prerequisite checks have passed. To work around the problem, confirm that the Splunk Add-on for Windows and the Splunk Supporting Add-on for Active Directory (SA-LDAPSearch) have been activated (and not just installed) in the Apps screen in Splunk Web.
N/A	TAG-8776 TAG-9208	The app does not currently work with search head pools or search head clusters.
N/A	TAG-8844	Customers with Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 environments might see services in a "Critical" (red) state in the Service Analyzer and Service Health pages unless they disable components for the Transport Handling and Mailbox roles. See "Known Issue: Disable Transport and Mailbox components in Service Analyzer for Exchange Server 2007 and Server 2010 environments."
N/A	TAG-8825 TAG-8865	When you disable hosts in the Service Health configuration page, after you return to the Service Analyzer page, the hosts reappear as enabled. This is a temporary issue, as the enabled/disabled list gets updated at a set schedule. Wait for a while and then try the operation again.
N/A	TAG-8831 TAG-8865	When you add a server to the "Autodiscover" service, it does not show up in that service right away. This is a temporary issue. Wait for a while and then try the operation again.
N/A	TAG-8826	The "Max" and "Min" fields in the "Configure Thresholds" dialog box might not accurately represent the actual maximum and minimum thresholds for the active component. This is a cosmetic issue as the thresholds get saved when you click "Save" to exit the dialog.
N/A	MSAPP-2259 MSAPP-2277	The dashboard builder does not work properly with Internet Explorer version 8 or earlier. To work around the problem, use another Splunk Enterprise-supported browser.
N/A	TAG-9621	Splunk server crashed due to huge lookup file for microsoft exchange app.
N/A	MSAPP-2109	Some minor artifacts occur when you collapse the "Add Panels" sidebar on the Dashboard Builder page.
