Known issues in Splunk App for VMWare 3.1.3

Publication date	Defect number	Description
2014-10-27	SOLNVMW-3906 / TAG-8210	If a perpetual license and a trial license exist on the same server at the same time, Splunk App for VMware license status shows the trial expiration date instead of the perpetual one.
2014-10-27	-	Upon upgrading from a previous version of Splunk App for VMware, you must walk through the setup page and delete the old add-ons. However, the setup page does not automatically appear after upgrading the app. By default, the value of the is_configured key in the app.conf is 1. Change the value to 0 so that the setup page appears when first running the app after upgrade. The app.conf file exists in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_for_vmware/local.
2014-10-27	SOLNVMW-3858 / TAG-8277	If the license master is remote, the App Data Volume page on a slave does not list the _size_ of app licenses. The App Data Volume page does indicate the existence of a license.
2014-10-27	SPL-91339	On the App License Status page, remote license masters always report the expiration date of app licenses as ∞ (infinite), although it may actually be less.

2014-10-27	SOLNVMW-2186 / TAG-8287	The VM Detail view (that shows the performance of a VM across migrations) is not displayed correctly when the TimeHierarchyVM lookup is missing migration data for the virtual machines.

2015-3-6	TAG-8211	In Collection Configurations, vCenter authentication fails when special characters are used in password
2015-06-22	TAG-9416 / SPL-86606	The tsidx_retention.py script that grooms search head pool shared namespaces for TSIDX files fails to clean up the files because of a bug in the /services/data/indexes endpoint that it references. This endpoint outputs a blank value for the tsidxstatshomepath attribute on Splunk Enterprise versions v6.1.1 through 6.1.4 and 6.2.0. The bug has been fixed in versions v6.1.5 and v6.2.1. If you run any of the affected versions, you must delete the TSIDX files manually from the shared namespace. Doing so does not result in data loss.
