Known Issues for Splunk Enterprise Security

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

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2020-07-30	SOLNESS-23521	Identity Management: Only transforms from specific apps are being displayed on "New Asset" modal
2020-07-14	SOLNESS-23451	Notable Event Framework: Searches converted from XS to MLTK did not have their tokens updated Workaround: Update the rule_description for the following searches. [Network - Unusual Volume of Network Activity - Rule] action.notable.param.rule_description = An unusual volume of network activity was detected. $src_count$ unique sources have generated network traffic in the past 15 minutes and $total_count$ network events have been observed in the same time period. [Network - Substantial Increase in Port Activity (By Destination) - Rule] action.notable.param.rule_description = A statistically significant increase in the volume of activity on port $dest_port$ was noted. Today's value is $dest_port_traffic_count$. [Network - Substantial Increase in an Event - Rule] action.notable.param.rule_description = A statistically significant increase in the volume of $signature$ events was noted. Today's value is $ids_attacks$.
2020-05-13	SOLNESS-22828	Notable event status or owner sometimes are wrong because of size of incident_review collection Workaround: Set max_rows_per_query in limits.conf to a size greater than the size of the incident_review_lookup collection and restart Splunk. To check this: index=_introspection host+<ES SH> sourcetype=kvstore "data.ns"="SA-ThreatIntelligence.incident_review" | stats max(data.count) AS count And if this count is bigger than the max_rows_per_query limit in limits.conf, increase it on the search head(s): limits.conf: [kvstore] max_rows_per_query = <something bigger than the count above> and restart Splunk afterwards.
2020-05-11	SOLNESS-22809	CustomSearchBuilder: Retention component for kvstore backed search-driven-lookup not working
2020-04-02	SOLNESS-22269, SOLNESS-21618	CSB build request includes query string + lookup count exceed
2020-03-23	SOLNESS-22110	Threat Intelligence: Maxmind ASN database can no longer be consumed
2020-02-28	SOLNESS-21907, SOLNESS-21911	Threat Intelligence Manager: Incomplete/Orphaned stanzas will cause the manager to exit
2020-02-24	SOLNESS-21847	Threat Intelligence Framework: When download is anything other than TAXII we change file extension
2020-02-24	SOLNESS-21848	Threat Intelligence Framework: Files in pickup dirs when sinkhole not in use causing large SHC Snapshots
2020-02-23	SOLNESS-21845	Entities merge on previous foreign keys
2020-02-20	SOLNESS-21817, SOLNESS-21910	When you add more than 30 statuses in Notable Status Configuration and then try to change earlier ones, you get an error message "Notable status of label <number> does not exist." Workaround: Manually clean up reviewstatuses.conf to reduce number of statuses down to 30 or less: ./etc/apps/SA-ThreatIntelligence/local/reviewstatuses.conf ./etc/apps/SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite/local/reviewstatuses.conf
2020-02-13	SOLNESS-21783	Incident Review does not load when read permissions on pertinent lookups are limited to select roles
2020-01-30	SOLNESS-21581	Entity merge not parsing MV fields in KV Store sources
2020-01-24	SOLNESS-21476	Notable Event Framework: Invalid severity values afflict urgency calculation
2020-01-16	SOLNESS-21220, SOLNESS-21618	Identity Management: Preview search request issued via query string (issue for IE)
2019-12-13	SOLNESS-21001	Identity Management: Inferred/Implicit "identity" key values can cause unintended identity record merges Workaround: In ES 6.0 we merge Asset and Identity records which have overlapping secondary keys ("asset" and "identity" fields respectively). When this is combined with inferred/implicit key values based on email, email_short and/or convention based mapping, it's possible that unintended records are merged. If you are *not* interested in the inferred/implicit identity values (i.e. email, email_short), simply disable on an input-by-input basis by using the "Asset and Identity Management" UI to uncheck or remove conventions as needed for each input. If you are interested in the inferred/implicit identity values, consider relocating items which overlap into their own identity_manager input such that conventions can be disabled just for this specific input.
2019-12-10	SOLNESS-20951, SOLNESS-20994	Postinstall fails when upgrading due to error enabling modular inputs Workaround: The enablement of modular inputs during post-install can lead to failures if the role performing the install is missing capabilities. Verify the role being used to install (i.e. role_admin) inherits the additional roles shipped by ES (ess_admin, ess_analyst, ess_user) and re-run setup.
2019-03-15	SOLNESS-18377, SPL-167855	Workbench: custom visualizations don't work in workbench
