Known issues

Known issues in Splunk App for Stream 6.1.0:

Publication date Defect number Description
2015-11-16 STREAM-2532 Stream events are timestamped with index time in distributed Splunk Enterprise environment.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2268 imap "password" field is missing.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2262 Aggregated streams don't emit "endtime field.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2259 Saving stream with addToDefaultGroup=false fails.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2222 Stream tries to open pcap adapter on inactive interface.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2193 The stream id (labeled 'Name' in the Configure Streams UI) is case sensitive. This lets you create a stream with the same name as a default stream, for example, id "HTTP", which you can confuse with the default stream id "http."
2015-10-21 STREAM-2190 Stream Forwarder skips IP packets with zero length (ip.len==0) in the IP header.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2183 request_time, reply_time, and response_time flow metrics are not populated for all protocols.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2179 Sparkline in Configure Streams UI under certain circumstances incorrectly shows zero traffic volume for protocols.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2169 SSL key stored in local/directory.
2015-10-21 STREAM-2156 streamfwd process may exhibit unbounded memory growth when running on Splunk Universal Forwarder instance that is unable to forward events, most commonly because of incorrect tcpout parameters in outputs.conf configuration.
2015-10-21 STREAM-1834 Inefficient captured packet queueing.
2015-08-07 STREAM-2190 SDSSL skips IP packets with zero length (ip.len==0) in the IP header.
2015-04-19 STREAM-1913 Splunkd does not reliably shut down streamfwd process.
2015-04-19 STREAM-1909 SNMP events not returning key pieces of data due to lack of parsing from original binary format.
2015-03-31 STREAM-1864 Incorrect multicast DNS request/response matching leads to unbounded event size build-up.
2015-03-31 STREAM-1846 Dashboard searches fail for time periods greater than 60 minutes.
2014-12-18 STREAM-1589 Some protocol events map to incorrect name. This occurs because Splunk_TA_stream 6.1.x reuses conflicting transforms.conf stanza names from Splunk_TA_nix.
2014-12-14 STREAM-1550 After manually deleting the splunk_app_stream and Splunk_TA_stream folders without stopping Splunk and then installing or upgrading the app, the Wire Data input stops working. Workaround: See this troubleshooting item.
2014-12-06 STREAM-1532 High DroppedPackets sniffer stats on Linux can manifest in high memory utilization, TCP overflows, and related issues.
2014-12-05 STREAM-1527 The filters dialog does not let you enter values when using Firefox browser on OSX.
2014-12-05 STREAM-1522 Stream Forwarder (streamfwd) freezes when adding random IP address to blacklist.
2014-12-05 STREAM-1495 Splunk Web UI freezes and does not save entries when trying to save multiple IP addresses to Whitelist filter.
2014-12-05 STREAM-1489 Configuration window for Blacklist and Whitelist filters disappears after entering approximately 25+ entries.
2014-11-05 STREAM-1482 If you enable a protocol in the Streams Config UI without first enabling the Wire Data modular input in Setting > Data Inputs > Wire Data, that particular stream gets stuck in the "loading" state.
2014-11-05 STREAM-1467 tag=instance is missing from TA_stream database events.
2014-11-06 STREAM-1443 When upgrading from Stream 6.0.x to 6.1, stream configuration files in local/streams for built-in streams (such as http, tcp, etc.) might be in the unlocked state (locked:false). This causes the Aggregated check box and Delete button to appear in the Streams Config UI for the default stream. Because the aggregated function only works for clones of default streams, the aggregated function has no effect. Workaround: Click the Delete button to delete the Stream. This updates and locks the stream configuration file (locked:true) so that the Aggregated check box and Delete button do not appear in the Stream Config UI for that protocol.
2014-11-05 STREAM-1440 The text flow in the Enable/Disable Stream confirmation dialog box is incorrect.
2014-11-05 STREAM-1436 Two local streams with same ID should cause an error. Instead, only one stream is displayed, but it receives some attributes from the other stream.
2014-10-30 STREAM-1369 With ephemeral streams, using the stream name as sourcetype (sourcetype="protocol") breaks CIM mappings and causes searches to fail. Workaround: Use the revised syntax for source and sourcetype introduced in version 6.1. See About source and sourcetype syntax changes in 6.1.
2014-10-30 STREAM-1289 "Hide credit card" feature does not allow custom configuration.
2014-10-30 STREAM-1282 Unexplained "DPI error processing stream data" messages appear in streamfwd.log.
