If this setting is enabled in server.conf, communication is broken between the modular input and splunkd and the add-on stops collecting data. The following error appears in the splunkd.log: "SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:peer did not return a certificate." The workaround is to set requireClientCert=false.
2015/11/20 ADDON-6592 / SPL-110199 Add-on has a warning upon startup "Invalid key in stanza [citrix_netscaler] in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_citrix-netscaler/default/inputs.conf, line 4: start_by_shell (value: false)." when running on Splunk 6.3. This warning is invalid and can be ignored.
2015/11/20 ADDON-6122 The field "mem" gives spurious data due to a bug in the NetScaler API.
2015/10/29 SPL-104398 For users running the Splunk platform on Ubuntu on versions prior to 6.3.0, the start_by_shell=false setting will not take effect and the Splunk platform will display a warning message on startup. Workaround: update your Splunk software to version 6.3.0 or later.
2015/06/10 ADDON-4219 In the template configuration screen of the modular input, if the user includes a metric and endpoint name that exceeds the width of the Selected Metrics field, there is no scroll to see the full name.
2015/06/10 ADDON-4219 In the template configuration screen of the modular input, if the number of metrics added to the template is larger than the Selected Metrics field can display by default, the user must scroll to the bottom of the Selected Metrics field manually to see the latest metric added.
2015/06/05 ADDON-4177 Endpoint field in the modular input configuration does not support spaces. Workaround: If your API call requires spaces, encode them using %20.
2015/05/14 SPL-101449 / ADDON-3993 If you enter either "t" or "f" in the description field of a Task, Splunk Enterprise interprets it as binary instead of a string and stores the value as 1 or 0, respectively.
