Date filed Issue number Description
2023-05-15 SOLNESS-35888 Asset and identity data does not merge as expected.
2023-02-06 SOLNESS-34719 Performance of Enterprise Security might be impacted if the modular_action_invocations takes too long to run.
2023-01-03 SOLNESS-34301 Console JS Error when trying to open Risk Event Timeline for risk notable
2022-12-19 SOLNESS-34219 Workflow action on ES does not populate the $field$ in Incident Review.
2022-11-17 SOLNESS-33744 The eventtype website_watchlist does not exist or is disabled due to empty searches in the default eventtypes from DA-ESS-NetworkProtection.

Workaround:
*As a workaround, one can disable the eventtypes locally and set a pseudo value for the search: (altrhough only disabling the eventtypes should be necessary)*


{noformat}DA-ESS-NetworkProtection/local/eventtypes.conf

[website_watchlist] search = noop

DA-ESS-NetworkProtection/local/tags.conf

[eventtype=website_watchlist] watchlist = disabled web_watchlist = disabled{noformat}




2022-11-08 SOLNESS-33486 Identity investigator dashboard not filtering_escaping mydomain/username
2022-10-03 SOLNESS-32886 Use original time as the basis for the risk event timeline while using risk based alerting in Splunk Enterprise Security.
2022-10-03 SOLNESS-32889 Creating a correlation search might result in the following error message: "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')".
2022-09-21 SOLNESS-32798 Special character handling issues for risk objects in Incident Review.

Workaround:
If a correlation search is handling special characters incorrectly, then the drill-down search within the notable under Adaptive Response Actions must be updated. Change the tokenized value that is wrapped in quotes by removing the quotes and adding the correct token filter, in this case '|s'.

For example, within the correlation search: "Risk Threshold Exceeded For Object Over 24 Hour Period", update the risk object within the Adaptive Response Action Drill-down search for the notable. Change the risk object in the SPL from Template:Risk object="$risk object$" to {{risk_object=$risk_object|s$}}.

2022-09-21 SOLNESS-32782 DA-ESS-AccessProtection searches "Change - Account Lockouts" and "Change - Number Of Account Lockouts" must use All_Changes.action instead of All_Changes.result.
2022-09-14 SOLNESS-32647 Saved searches created in the Content Management page with private settings are not displayed.

2022-08-11 SOLNESS-32131 Unable to edit lookup files in Splunk Enterprise Security using Content Management.
2022-08-08 SOLNESS-31995 The custom filter on the Incident Review page truncates to the maximum screen resolution without providing a scroll bar and access to Manage filter.

Workaround:
Zoom out to access all filters and retrieve access to the *Manage filter* button located at the bottom of the dropdown.
2022-07-08 SOLNESS-31614 Having a "delim regex" causes the "extract regex" to be ignored
2022-07-08 SOLNESS-31613, SOLNESS-31949 Removing the "skip header lines" causes an exception.
2022-07-07 SOLNESS-31605, SOLNESS-32641 Lookups must have maximum size limit specified in threatlist.py.

2022-01-31 SOLNESS-29825 Short IDs created before upgrading to ES 7.0 do not show up in Incident Review even though the Short ID is in the notable_xref_lookup.

Workaround:
When you upgrade Splunk Enterprise Security to versions 7.0.0 or higher, the short IDs for notables that were created prior to the upgrade are not displayed on the Incident Review page. However, you can recreate all the short IDs that were available prior to the upgrade.
2022-01-12 SOLNESS-29657 Clicking the Actions dropdown for notables on the Incident Review page results in a blank page.

Workaround:
Ensure that the following workflow actions: modaction_results and modaction_invocations are enabled. You can enable these two default workflow actions using the Splunk Enterprise Security UI as follows:
  1. Click *Settings > Fields >Workflow Actions.
  2. * Search for modaction_results and select *Enable*. Alternatively, you can upgrade Splunk Enterprise Security to version 7.0.x.
