Date filed Issue number Description
2024-09-12 UBA-19395 False Positive Suppression Model tagging multiple times the same anomalies "False Positive"

Workaround:
The False Positive Suppression Model introduced in Splunk UBA version 5.4.0 redundantly tags anomalies as false positives, even when they have already been marked as such by the model the previous day. Users can remove these redundant tags by running the following command:
psql -d caspidadb -c "UPDATE anomalies SET tagids = (SELECT ARRAY(SELECT DISTINCT unnest(tagids))) WHERE tagids IS NOT NULL;" 

This command can also be added to a cron job to run automatically every day at 8 AM.
