Known issues for Splunk Enterprise Security

The following are issues and workarounds for this version of Splunk Enterprise Security.


Date filed Issue number Description
2019-02-19 SOLNESS-18079 Port And Protocol Tracker Lookup Gen isn't tracking allowed ports
2019-02-11 SOLNESS-17956 Identity Correlation modification will not save on SHC

2018-09-18 SOLNESS-16563 globedistance macro units syntax does not match usage in summary gen search

Workaround:
The following syntax for Access - Geographically Improbable Access - Summary Gen:

eval key=mvsort(mvappend(src."->".dest, NULL, dest."->".src)) | dedup key, user | `globedistance(src_lat,src_long,dest_lat,dest_long,"m")`
 

Should be:
eval key=mvsort(mvappend(src."->".dest, NULL, dest."->".src)),units="m" | dedup key, user | `globedistance(src_lat,src_long,dest_lat,dest_long,units)`
 
2018-04-15 SOLNESS-15203 Logic for "Should Timesync Host Not Syncing" correlation is faulty
2018-04-10 SOLNESS-15132, SOLNESS-15100 Correlation Search Guided Mode UI: Truncating Datamodel list because of missing count

2018-02-13 SOLNESS-14603 Splunk_SA_CIM version 4.10.0 is lower than required 4.9.1

Workaround:
Suppress the message via inputs.conf
## $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite/local/inputs.conf
[configuration_check://confcheck_es_app_version]
suppress = Splunk_SA_CIM
2018-02-13 SOLNESS-14596 TA-cef: (KV_MODE=auto) does not properly extract CEF events
2018-01-22 SOLNESS-14285 Assets identity correlation setup: automatic lookup for asset str matching misses "dvc_ip" and "src_ip" as output fields.
2018-01-18 SOLNESS-14237 500 server error when users without admin_all_object capability saves Identity Lookup Setting.
2018-01-12 SOLNESS-14140, SOLNESS-14154 Custom swimlane searches are not showing output on the investigator dashboards.

2017-10-16 SOLNESS-12495 Investigations does not appear in ES navigation menu toolbar after upgrade to 4.7.x.

Because the Investigations page was renamed in 4.6.x and the navigation editor now respects local overrides, the My Investigations page disappears from the navigation and the Investigations page does not replace it. To add the Investigations page to the navigation, select Config > General > Navigation and add the Investigations view to the navigation in Splunk Enterprise Security.

suffix: 'report',

Updated:

suffix: 'alert',

2017-06-20 SOLNESS-12142, SOLNESS-12149 Error saving correlation search in correlation editor due to invalid alert_comparator

Workaround:
If an invalid alert_comparator message is observed when saving a correlation search, simply adjust the "Trigger Conditions" portion of the Correlation Search Editor to the desired values (even if the current form values are the desired values). This will permit the correlation search to be saved.
2017-06-20 SOLNESS-12141 Custom fields not showing up in Incident review after upgrade to 4.7.0

Workaround:
As of 4.7.0, Incident Review uses a saved search "Incident Review - Main" to retrieve notable events. You will need to reimplement any customizations previously made to the "notable" macro in the context of this saved search.

2017-05-05 SOLNESS-12045, SOLNESS-12077 Upgrade from 4.5.2 to 4.7, incorrect threatlist download failure notifications
