New feature or enhancement Description
Deactivated the saved searches of all content packs Saved searches are deactivated by default on upgrade and install of Splunk App for Content Packs 2.0 to avoid negative impact on ITSI performance and to provide more control for users to enable saved searches only for in-use content packs To activate the saved searches, refer to the Install and Configure documentation of the required content pack.


If you're upgrading from a previous version of the Splunk App for Content Packs, be sure to go through the important steps mentioned in Upgrade Splunk App for Content Packs to version 2.0.

Mapping for the service_name field in the itsi_summary index is now driven by SPL command rather than by automatic lookup from the content pack for ITSI Monitoring and Alerting Automatic lookup responsible for returning the service_name field for the itsi_summary index is removed when users upgrade to Splunk App for Content Packs 2.0.0. This change to service name field mapping protocol in Service and Episode Monitoring Correlation Searches improves data reliability by eliminating the previous requirement for refreshing automatic lookup periodically to ensure that the service_name field populated for all records in the itsi_summary index.

If you rely on the service_name field, this change affects you.

To obtain the service_name for a given serviceid, use an SPL (Search Processing Language) lookup command. In order to search, filter or report on service_name from the itsi_summary index, you must add the following lookup after your initial search:
|lookup service_kpi_lookup _key AS serviceid OUTPUT title AS service_name

By executing this SPL command, you can retrieve the service_name field from the service_kpi_lookup file.


Example code snippet for updated search: 

index=itsi_summary 
| lookup service_kpi_lookup _key AS serviceid OUTPUT title AS service_name
| search service_name="*Web*"

You must incorporate the lookup command into your own SPL queries to obtain the service_name field.
