  • Reports (saved searches in Splunk Enterprise 5) that have underscores in their names are now supported. You will no longer receive a "Saved search not found" error.

Known issues

The Splunk ODBC Driver version 1.0.1 has the following known limitations:

  • Only limited SQL-to-SPL (Splunk search language) translation capability
  • Using multiple or joined tables is not supported
  • Reports (saved searches in Splunk Enterprise 5) returning data from the _internal index with a Tableau extract will cause Tableau to fail with the error message "...wrong number of bindings for input columns."
