Date filed and Release Issue Number Description
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2439 Upgrading from Splunk Insights for Infrastructure to Splunk Enterprise leaves the custom "Splunk Insights for Infrastructure" login page.

October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2473 AWS configuration page keeps loading when Splunk Add-on for Infrastructure is not present.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2487 Workspace alert side panel shows alerts that no longer exist.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2649 When warning value is set to 0, sidebar in "Analysis" workspace does not show the warning threshold.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2693 "Splunk Insights for Infrastructure" appears even when using Splunk App for Infrastructure.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2826 When Instance name is too long, updated time and the "Overview" tab text overlap.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2841 IP address is not being extracted as a dimension from Linux hosts.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2910 Possible KVStore migration issues. MongoDB might not start after migrating to Splunk Insights for Infrastructure 1.2.0.


Workaround: If the Investigate page appears blank, this might indicate that the MongoDB migration did not complete automatically. Stop the splunk instance and migrate the KV store manually by using the splunk migrate migrate-kvstore command. See KV store migration message in the Splunk Enterpise Admin Guide > KV store troubleshooting tools section.

October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2928 "Disk Usage" is not collected from Mac OS X entities.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2929 Switching to the "OSX" tab on the "Add Data" page while signed-in as a non-admin crashes the page.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2952 Moving data to a new index breaks alert SPL.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2885 Splunk Add-on for Windows 5.0.0 and later is not compatible with Splunk App for Infrastructure.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-2974 The Splunk App for Infrastructure and Splunk Add-on for Infrastructure are compatible with Splunk Enterprise 7.1.x and 7.2. In Splunk Enterprise 7.1, Windows Perfmon metrics collected by the Splunk App for Infrastructure do not show in the Entity and Group Workspaces, and are not compatible with the Overview charts in 7.2.


Workaround: Users that require Windows metrics can do either of the following:

  • If using Splunk Enterprise 7.1, it is recommended to store Windows and Linux metrics in separate indexes and update the macros for multi-index support.
  • Upgrade to Splunk Enterprise 7.2.
October 2, 2018, 1.2.0 SII-3022 The Add-on for AWS 4.5.0 is supported and to be used instead of the Add-on for AWS 4.6.0. The Add-on for AWS 4.6.0 is not supported, as it stops entity discovery due to a major change in the metric format and it will cause entity discovery issues.
