Date filed Issue number Description
2021-08-16 SII-7102 AWS TA inputs with spaces in the name can cause the AWS input restarter to fail
2020-04-02 SII-6903 SAI Kubernetes data collection doesn't work with Kubernetes API 1.16 or higher
2019-10-14 SII-5853 Manually adding an entity_type for a different type of entity can break dashboards.
2019-10-14 SII-5838 Windows events are not present when expanding an event panel.
2019-08-29 SII-5411 The em_metrics sourcetype is not visible in Splunk Cloud.
2019-08-15 SII-5268 write_splunk does not support Collectd 5.9.
2019-08-07 SII-5155 The alert creation modal breaks when you delete the warning threshold value.
2019-07-29 SII-5041 The search for Docker entities may fail because the search is hard-coded to check a specific index.

Workaround:
Send Docker metrics to the em_metrics index.
2019-07-26 SII-5030 The easy install script may fail for Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS if the universe repository is not enabled.

Workaround:
Run these commands to add the universe repository before you run the easy install script:

sudo apt-add-repository universe && sudo apt-get update

2019-07-26 SII-5022 Splunk Connect for Kubernetes stops collecting the kube:objects:events:watch sourcetype.

Workaround:
Manually edit the objects deployment that SCK spawns. 

1. Update the image to kube-objects:1.1.2. {code:java} kubectl -n splunk edit deploy sck-1.2.0-splunk-kubernetes-objects{code} {code:java} image: splunk/kube-objects:1.1.2

        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

        name: splunk-fluentd-k8s-objects{code}  2. Save and exit. This will cause the pod to roll over and deploy the new image. 

2019-07-09 SII-4876 On CentOS systems, the easy install script does not update the universal forwarder.

Workaround:
The script errors out at the last command in *bash install_uf.sh*. The command errors out because it's setting up something that's already been set up. Running the remainder of the script continues the installation:
  • bash install_agent.sh && cd .. && rm -rf unix-agent && rm -rf unix-agent.tgz*

You can add *|| true* to the script to avoid the error:

  • ... bash install_uf.sh || true && bash install_agent.sh && cd .. && rm -rf unix-agent && rm -rf unix-agent.tgz*
2019-07-07 SII-4845 Container logs are not being associated with pods.
2019-07-01 SII-4834 Power users can't write to the infra_alerts index.

Workaround:
Manually enable power users to write to the infra_alerts index.
2019-06-28 SII-4832, SII-4831 libcurl4 is incompatible with the write_splunk collectd plugin. This affects Ubuntu 18.04.

Workaround:
Replace libcurl4 with libcurl3.
2019-06-26 SII-4776 The uninstall script might not delete the SplunkForwarder.service file.

Workaround:
Run this command:

rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/SplunkForwarder.service

2019-06-26 SII-4788 Kubernetes events objects stop being monitored after one hour.
2019-06-04 SII-4570 The splunkd messages service fails to send error messages when the splunkd port is not 8089.
2019-05-23 SII-4474 When you create a group alert, there may be an object ID error.
2019-05-15 SII-4390 The sc_admin role cannot create a HEC token on the em_metrics index.
2018-09-21 SII-2924 The Entity Overview does not properly display metrics values.
