None
2022-12-06 SOLNESS-33999 Classic Content Management page stuck at "Loading"
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}




2022-10-31 SOLNESS-33301 The collectrisk.py generates risk events that duplicate the origin event.
2022-10-03 SOLNESS-32865 Upgrade "All Investigations" list in Investigation bar uses React instead of the "swc bootstrap" dropdown.
2022-09-23 SOLNESS-32806, SOLNESS-32822 Visual differences seen in the UI while performing Splunk 9.0.2208.2 sanity testing.
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=$risk_object|s$}}.

2022-09-14 SOLNESS-32646 Saved searches in Content Management can be enabled or disabled with a bulk update but not using the Actions column.

2022-07-07 SOLNESS-31600 Using "nobody" as the owner of savedsearches shipped with Splunk Enterprise Security.
2022-06-24 SOLNESS-31447 Workflow actions for Incident Review open in a new window for an open search in the current window where the setting for type is "search in event_menu".
2022-03-01 SOLNESS-30155 Make Contributing Events Link always work in Risk Event Timeline
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.
