Maintenance (preview) page updates: Renamed the Availability (preview) tab and Communications page to Maintenance (preview). The Maintenance (preview) page now uses the ACS OperationType field for Maintenance Type instead of the ReleaseTrain field. The Maintenance (preview) page now displays the raw value from the ACS maintenance window response for scheduled.status instead of raw string status values mapped to enum cases. Added a feedback button in the Maintenance (preview) page so customers can provide feedback or report bugs.

The date format for both the Search Time and Scheduled Time is now yyyy-mm-dd. We fixed the issue that was causing the indexer multiplier lookup to fail, which caused the SVC search to fail for some stacks. We fixed the issue that was causing forwarder counts to not match in the Forwarders: deployment dashboard. We fixed the issue that was causing multiple OS values to appear in the Forwarders: instance dashboard.
Known Issues	The following is a known issue in this release: If the Alerts page is left open, CMC runs a high volume of searches that might cancel other searches. Workaround: Do not leave the Alerts page open to avoid running a high volume of searches.

October 2022

CMC version	3.3.1
Release date	3 November 2022
Fixed Issues	The following issues were fixed in this release: The Communications maintenance window feature does not work for customers using a Splunk Cloud Platform version lower than 9.0.2208 and SAML authentication without authentication extensions enabled or an identity provider (IdP) that supports Attribute Query Request (AQR). We added an error message to communicate this issue. The SVC consumers and SVC usage panels in the Workload dashboard were not populated for Victoria Experience customers. This issue occurred on the cluster manager node. We fixed this issue.

CMC version	3.3.0
Release date	27 October 2022
New feature or enhancement	The following enhancements are available in this release: The SVC usage by search type and SVC usage by top 10 apps panel in the Workload dashboard now uses a SVC indexer multiplier lookup to calculate SVC. The panel previously used a subsearch which caused issues if the search ran for longer than 60 seconds. We added a Communications page in the Availability tab that provides details about upcoming and past maintenance windows. The 3.3.0 release currently supports communications about Splunk Cloud Platform version upgrades.
Fixed Issues	The following issue was fixed in this release: The Rebuild Forwarder Assets button in the Forwarders: Instance dashboard did not report on all forwarders. We fixed this issue. The Data Quality dashboard did not load when selecting all time from the time range picker. We fixed this issue. The Search seconds by search type and Search seconds by consumer type panels in the Workload dashboard sums the search seconds for the entire time period twice. This resulted in an inflated and inaccurate quantity of search seconds for each consumer type. We fixed this issue and removed the inaccurate data.
Known issues	This release has the following known issues: The Communications maintenance window feature does not work for customers using a Splunk Cloud Platform version lower than 9.0.2208 and SAML authentication without authentication extensions enabled or an identity provider (IdP) that supports Attribute Query Request (AQR).

CMC version	3.2.2
Release date	7 October 2022
Fixed issue	The following issue was fixed in this release: The saved search that creates the forwarder lookup uses the tstats command.

We lowercased the Search Processing Language (SPL) for the saved search to fix this error.
Known issues	This release has the following known issues: The Search seconds by search type and Search seconds by consumer type panels in the Workload dashboard sums the search seconds for the entire time period twice.
