Date filed Issue number Description
2023-04-05 MLA-4564 Post upgrade from ES 6.1.1 to 7.0.2 has caused savedsearch with MLTK macro is returning a lot of false positives notables created

Workaround:
The model is fine and it is likely that the outburst of notables were due to a true positive. However, if the customer determines that it is still a false positive, they may want to consider lowering the sensitivity.
2023-02-21 MLA-4451 "Converting {} field(s) with categorical values into categorical fields" warning message should be logged discreetly and not appearing in UI/dashboard.

Workaround:
No workaround available.

2022-09-06 MLA-4325 .mlmodel Replication Deny List
2022-08-24 MLA-4320 Experiments' Search bar does not work with map command when used with $$ such as date_hour=$hour$

Workaround:
Run your SPL in the regular Search bar. If you want to see SODA outlier visualizations, add show_density=true show_options="feature_variables,split_by,params" to your SPL and select Distribution Plot from the Visualization tab.
2022-08-04 MLA-4310 Fix MLTK logging in mlspl.log (too-small).

2021-11-25 MLA-4178 Experiment Alert search not created correctly from Assistant

2021-07-09 MLA-4026 What-If Analysis does not properly display on some Unix platforms
2020-08-03 MLA-3950 Apply command does not run if used from a sub search

Workaround:
Use
appendcols
command to append the column that will be returned from the subsearch to the savedsearch's columns, instead of assigning its value to a non-existing column in the savedsearch. Example:
| inputlookup track_day.csv
| fit LogisticRegression fit_intercept=true "vehicleType" from "batteryVoltage" "engineCoolantTemperature" "engineSpeed" "lateralGForce" "longitudeGForce" "speed" "verticalGForce" into "example_vehicle_type"
makeresults count=50000
save as
MLA3950
|savedsearch MLA3950 | appendcols \[| inputlookup track_day.csv | apply "example_vehicle_type" | table vehicleType]
This will append the
vehicleType
column from the
subsearch
to the
savedsearch
columns.
2019-12-17 MLA-3701 Search bars in Assistants will not display more than approximately 500k rows

Workaround:

 (r'[&%$#@!`\|";<>^]')
