Version 9.1.2308

This version includes the following known issues:

Date filed or added	Issue number	Description
2024-09-05	SPL-262259	Splunk to Splunk federated searches do not utilize the dispatch.index_earliest and dispatch.index_latest parameters in the saved search configuration when the search is dispatched to the remote search head, leading to incorrect results. Workaround: These parameters can be added as a part of the search string, using the _index_earliest and _index_latest time modifiers. This will send the parameters correctly to the remote search head. See List of time modifiers in the Search Reference.
2024-08-27	SPL-261604	On-prem to Splunk Cloud transparent mode federated searches that use KVservice fail because the remote search head doesn't use the proxy bundle of the federated (local) search head. Workaround: If the failure is related to a lookup search not being resolved on the remote deployment, do this: Add local=true next to the invocation of the lookup in the search string. This addition forces the lookup to resolve on the local deployment and prevents the search from failing on the remote deployment. The remote deployment cannot access that lookup because the remote deployment uses KVservice, which does not engage in bundle replication.
2024-06-04	SPL-237180	Saved searches on Splunk Cloud Platform that are owned by nobody are scheduled using the default time zone settings in the user-prefs.conf file instead of the system time zone in Splunk Cloud. But, searches are run internally as splunk-system-user, which is tied to system time in Splunk Cloud Platform and is based on UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The mismatch between the default time zone settings in the user-prefs.conf file and Splunk Cloud system time can lead to potential discrepancies in search results under certain conditions when the time zones for nobody and splunk-system-user get out of sync. If you're experiencing mismatched time zones with nobody owned searches following migration from Splunk Enterprise to Splunk Cloud Platform, reassign searches to a user account attached to a role, so searches aren't assigned to nobody. An alternative workaround is to set the schedules for nobody-owned saved searches to UTC, which ensures that searches are the same as system time.
2024-4-12	SPL-254077	CIDR match for tstats with ipv6 addresses isn't supported. The tstats command currently doesn't filter events with CIDR match on fields that contain IPv6 addresses. Running tstats searches containing IPv6 addresses might result in the following error indicating that the addresses are treated as non-exact queries: Error in 'TsidxStats': WHERE clause is not an exact query
2024-02-27	SPL-251675	Splunk Cloud Platform users, including sc_admin, who hold the "list_users_roles" role cannot edit custom roles in Splunk Web. Workaround: Remove the "list_users_roles" role from the affected user. Alternatively, create another user and grant that user the "list_users_roles" role so that user can edit custom roles.
2024-02-11	SPL-250916	Add a filter to the GET SHs only of all deployment clients in check_bundles_ready of dc_helpers.py.
2024-01-24	SPL-249100	WLM rules using numeric search_time_range predicate not honoring earliest and latest time modifiers for some user roles when launching search via curl command.
2024-01-05	SPL-240774	The DELIMS setting or the kvdelim option may not be applied correctly when the k/v delim character appears 2 or more times in a field value Workaround: Perform field extractions by modifying your searches using other commands, such as the rex command or eval command.
2023-09-20	SPL-244927	Federated searches that include 'table' or 'rex' commands return 0 events when run in verbose mode.
2023-07-26	SPL-242487	Dashboard charts do not support screen reader or keyboard navigation.
2023-07-20	SPL-240969	props and transforms created with 000-self-services (000-self-services/local/transforms.conf) as the destination app get removed during sync triggered by actions such as saving rulesets in Ingest Actions. Workaround: Do not save search time field transformations to the 000-self-services app. Move the existing 000-self-services/local/transformations.conf under a different app.
2023-07-07	SPL-241821	Data Model Accelerations that have Automatic Rebuilds enabled may lead to unbounded memory growth due to search expansion, resulting in Out of Memory errors Workaround: For a data model that is experiencing high memory usage, perform the following steps: On your Splunk platform deployment, in Splunk Web, select Settings and then Data Models. Select Edit for the data model that is experiencing high memory usage, and then select Edit Acceleration. Open Advanced Settings. Disable Automatic Rebuilds. See Accelerate data models in the Knowledge Manager Manual. Furthermore, applying index constraints to restrict the list of indexes searched for building a given DMA summary and applying tags allowlisting would help curtail the memory usage.
2023-05-30	Not applicable	ACS endpoint connections fail after June 4, 2023 or HEC sessions fail after June 14, 2023 with error messages that mention SSL, TLS, or HTTP error 503 or 525. See Cloud Platform Discontinuing support for TLS version 1.0 and 1.1.
2023-05-10	SPL-239808	For customers on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Splunk Secure Gateway does not work. All features including device management and registration are not functional.
2023-05-08	SPL-239663	Search History uses All Time range.
2023-05-02	SPL-239436	In federated search, outputlookup existence check on RSH causes search to terminate early although it is not run on RSH in standard mode Workaround: Define the lookup on both federated search head and remote search head.
2023-04-28	SPL-239339	Workload Management ignores Place in Pool action.
2023-04-24	SPL-237902	Ad hoc searches that specify earliest relative time offset assuming from 'now' should explicitly include 'latest=now' to avoid a potential time range inaccuracy. Workaround: Ad hoc searches searches that use the earliest time modifier with a relative time offset should also include latest=now in order to avoid time range inaccuracies. For example, if you want to get all events from the last 10 seconds starting at 01:00:10, the following search returns all events that occur between the time of 01:00:00 and 01:00:10, as expected: index=main earliest=-10s latest=now. Running the same search without including latest=now might produce unpredictable results or impact performance in certain scenarios when the search head is overloaded with ad hoc searches. See Specify earliest relative time offset and latest time in ad hoc searches in the Splunk platform Search Manual.
2023-04-14	SPL-238738	Federated search does not support the "Show Source" field action in either standard or transparent mode.
2023-03-14	SPL-237265	Sometimes when a search is aborted by workload rule, 'wlm_terminated' information message is not written to audit log
2022-08-23	SPL-228969	Federated Search: In Splunk Web federated index UI you cannot provide data model Dataset Name values that contain a dot ( . ) character Workaround: This is a limitation for users of standard mode federated search who want to set up federated indexes that map to data model datasets. It means that such users cannot set up federated indexes for data model datasets that are subordinate to a root dataset. For example, if the root data model dataset is Network_Traffic, you cannot map a federated index to the subordinate data model dataset Network_Traffic.All_Traffic. As a workaround, users can run tstats searches that use the nodename argument to filter out data that does not belong to a specific data model dataset: | tstats ... where nodename=Network_Traffic.All_Traffic.
2022-07-29	SPL-227633	Error : Script execution failed for external search command 'runshellscript' Workaround: The setting precalculate_required_fields_for_alerts=0 can be set on saved searches that have no other alert actions attached aside from the "Run A Script" action, to quash the error. For saved searches that have multiple alert action attached, this may not be safe as it will disable back propagation of required fields for all alert actions, which might result in the parent search extracting more fields than required, which could negatively impact performance for that search.
2022-06-15	SPL-226877	Federated Search UI Error: Cannot create saved search dataset for federated index if dataset name contains space Workaround: Use REST API to create the federated saved search instead: curl -k -u <username>:<password> -X POST https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/search/data/federated/index -d name=federated:index_kathy -d federated.dataset='savedsearch:ss with space' -d federated.provider=remote_deployment_1. See Federated search endpoint descriptions in the REST API Reference Manual.
2021-04-30	SPL-205069	onunloadCancelJobs failed to cancel search job on Safari Workaround: Use another browser such as Chrome or Firefox
