Current known issues

The Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange has the following known issues:

  • The app does not currently work with search head clusters. (TAG-8776)
  • Customers with Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 environments might see services in a "Critical" (red) state in the Service Analyzer and Service Health pages unless they disable components for the Transport Handling and Mailbox roles. See "Known Issue: Disable Transport and Mailbox components in Service Analyzer for Exchange Server 2007 and Server 2010 environments." (TAG-8844)
  • The app might not work correctly if you use browser plug-ins that block content such as AdBlock. As a workaround, remove the plug-in or disable the plug-in for the Splunk instance. (TAG-8731)
  • When you disable hosts in the Service Health configuration page, after you return to the Service Analyzer page, the hosts reappear as enabled. This is a temporary issue, as the enabled/disabled list gets updated at a set schedule. Wait for a while and then try the operation again. (TAG-8825, TAG-8865)
  • When you add a server to the "Autodiscover" service, it does not show up in that service right away. This is a temporary issue. Wait for a while and then try the operation again. (TAG-8831, TAG-8865)
  • The "Max" and "Min" fields in the "Configure Thresholds" dialog box might not accurately represent the actual maximum and minimum thresholds for the active component. This is a cosmetic issue as the thresholds get saved when you click "Save" to exit the dialog. (TAG-8826)
  • 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)
  • Some minor artifacts occur when you collapse the "Add Panels" sidebar on the Dashboard Builder page. (MSAPP-2109)
