2024-08-08 PSAAS-18987 Splunk SOAR (On-premises) Installer fails due to centos 8 mirror deprecation

Workaround:
  • If you are not building or upgrading a cluster, you can skip the glusterfs install step and continue the installation of Splunk SOAR.
    1. Rerun the install command for Splunk SOAR. Make sure you do not skip any prompts. Do not use the -y or --no-prompt command line arguments.
    2. The installer will prompt you to install glusterfs. You can answer no if you are not building or upgrading a clustered deployment.
  • If you are building or upgrading a cluster:
    1. Modify the install_common.py file
      1. On or around line 208, modify the base URL set for the GLUSTER_RPM_SOURCE_BASE_URL_EL8 variable to use vault instead of mirror.
                                GLUSTER_RPM_SOURCE_BASE_URL_EL8 = (
                                "[https://vault.centos.org/centos/8-stream/storage/x86_64/gluster-9/Packages/|https://vault.centos.org/centos/8-stream/storage/x86_64/gluster-9/Packages/] "
                                )
                            
      2. Re-run the installer.

2024-05-14 PSAAS-17715 VPE CF block resource warning not being removed upon reconfiguring

2024-05-06 PSAAS-17617 VPE: 'matches regex' comparison values 'true' and 'false' should not evaluate to boolean in the codegen

2024-02-22 PSAAS-16477 Podman does not currently work with redirected image URLs due to Docker Hub authentication token changes

2023-08-25 PSAAS-14609 AB: Broker status should be updated if the broker directory is no longer present
2023-04-26 PSAAS-13255 Deleting a container with 1000+ artifacts causes UWSGI to run out of memory.

Workaround:
For Waterspout we have swapped the deletion mechanism of containers in the UI from a django deletion to a raw deletion.

This helps us avoid OOMing in Django while preserving audit capability when performing a deletion thanks to a new pg trigger that was added.


In SOAR versions pre 6.3.0, customers running into an OOM when deleting a container with 1000+ artifacts should delete the container via a raw delete using the Template:Delete db containers management command. If this is a cloud customer, then SOAR on-call will need to delete the container for them with their permission.
