Current known issues

The Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure has the following known issues:

• The dashboard builder does not work properly with Internet Explorer version 8 or earlier. To work around the problem, use another Splunk Enterprise-supported browser. (MSAPP-2259, MSAPP-2277)
• Searches in the Host Performance page can be slow. (MSAPP-2276)
• If you click the Back button on your browser when you are in the Setup page for the app, the app incorrectly reloads the Setup page instead of returning you to the page you were on before you loaded the Setup page. This problem appears to only happen with Internet Explorer 11. (MSAPP-2245)
• If you upgrade Splunk after installing the Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange, you might experience spurious JavaScript errors when you next load the app. To fix the problem, perform a hard refresh of the page (usually by clicking your web browser's 'Reload' icon while holding down the Shift key. (MSAPP-2162)
• Some minor artifacts occur when you collapse the "Add Panels" sidebar on the Dashboard Builder page. (MSAPP-2109)
• Some minor artifacts occur when navigating through the app menus. (MSAPP-2061)
