Date filed Issue number Description
2025-03-13 BLUERIDGE-15531 MC Title Column Filter only searches Findings and not Investigations
2025-03-11 BLUERIDGE-15514 Splunk core inserts hostname into Mission Control tab in the navbar when SAML authenticated and there's no `name` attribute defined, causing redirection error

Workaround:
Press the big mission control button on the main ES page to access the mission control page.
2025-03-11 BLUERIDGE-15515, MCHELP-521 After upgrade of Enterprise Security (ES) to ES 8.0.2, customer's Incident Review (Analyst Queue) filters are broken
2025-03-10 BLUERIDGE-15508 Users cannot search with SPL in AQ Search Bar
2025-03-10 BLUERIDGE-15507 Pairing errors "Invalid credentials" even after being provided credentials
2025-03-07 BLUERIDGE-15505 SidePanel breaks for findings with variable called `comment`
2025-03-06 BLUERIDGE-15501 Unable to create investigations and investigation types when using Splunk ES on-prem due to search head cluster re-direction issues.

Workaround:
Change all hostname references (non-FQDN) to FQDN in the server.conf configuration file. However, this might increase the load on the DNS.

Alternatively edit /etc/hosts and create the link between IPaddes and SH_fqdn_hostname into each search head cluster

Alternatively, you can disable the search head cluster redirection framework. However, this can lead to data loss or data corruption. Eg: Duplicate HRIDs. You can mitigate this by using the KV captain only for all the UI flows.

If you are using Splunk Enterprise Security (on-prem), run the following CURL command:
curl -k --location "https://<hostname>:8089/servicesNS/nobody/missioncontrol/configs/conf-infra/cloud?output_mode=json" \ --header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ --data-urlencode "disable_api_redirection=<true/false>"


If you want to disable the search head cluster redirection framework but you are not using Splunk Enterprise Security (on-prem), open a support ticket on the Splunk Support portal.
