Date filed Issue number Description
2024-11-05 SOLNESS-47715 Threat match configuration that uses Endpoint datasets do not show default metakey _time sourcetype source host

Workaround:
It Is not advised to edit the default datamodel (unless you have already done it), for this specific is better to await for changes to be officially onboarded on the future splunk SA_CIM datamodel structure. If you modify the Datamodel, any future changes "Default made" set by splunk official app may not be get applied (local changes of the datamodel will take precedence upon any default changes made by splunk to that datamodel) . Instead if you have already in the past modified this datamodel and it misses these fields please apply these changes
  1. Stop the Datamodel acceleration (if enabled) which has these field missing under the field list: _time=* sourcetype=* host=* source=*
  2. Add these missing fields into each dataset

_time=* sourcetype=* host=* source=* (could be necessary to add index="NAME OF THE INDEXES" unless specified within the linked macro

  1. Edit the dataset extracted fields and checkbox _time=* sourcetype=* host=* source=*
  2. save the changes
  3. enable acceleration if it was enabled
  4. edit affected threat matching datasets by adding these matching fields
2024-05-22 SOLNESS-44220, SOLNESS-47293 Correlation searches "Threat Activity - Systems Impacted By Multiple Threats" and "Threat Activity - Threats Impacting Multiple Systems" were impacted since modifications to threat match searches updated a field.
2024-05-16 SOLNESS-44061, SOLNESS-47289 Threat Intelligence

Workaround:
Not applicable
2024-05-07 SOLNESS-43726 Investigate performance regression in the main search on the Incident Review page.

Workaround:
For customers in ES 7.2 to ES 7.3.1 who are facing slowness in IR page, the fix that Bhanu introduced in ES 7.3.2 will help improve the IR page load times. ES 7.3.2 GA is scheduled for June 5.

Until ES 7.3.2 is released the workaround for this is to remove the reference to Template:Get drilldown searches macro in the Template:Get correlations macro the customer's Template:.../apps/SA-ThreatIntelligence/default/macros.conf file. However, this will also cause notables to no longer show drilldowns in the IR page.

N/A
