2024-10-11SOLNESS-47303Drill-down searches can't use time value in milliseconds.Workaround:Once the drill-down search is run, the time token passed to the search (URI) is in milliseconds and the search throws the error. If you convert time to seconds (from the URL), the search runs as expected. For example: auto_pause=120&earliest=1720479465000&latest=1720490265000 was the tail end of the generated URL from the drill-down search. if you modify this as earliest=1720479465&latest=1720490265 and remove the 000 from the end of earliest and latest time, search runs as expected.
2024-10-11SOLNESS-47312When expanding the notable event in the Incident Review dashboard, error message occurs instead of the drill-down search. Workaround: 1.

Splunk Enterprise Security 7.3.0 was released on December 19, 2023.

This release includes the following known issues.

Date filedIssue numberDescription
2025-02-04SOLNESS-49540The <code>log_review.conf</code> file uses the older <code>risk_object</code> field but must use <code>normalized_risk_object</code>.
2024-11-05SOLNESS-47715Threat match configuration that uses Endpoint datasets do not show the default metakey _time sourcetype source host. Workaround: Do not edit the default data model unless you have already edited it. Wait until the changes are on-boarded on the splunk SA_CIM data model structure. If you modify the datamodel, any future changes "Default made" set by splunk official app might not be applied. The local changes of the data model take precedence upon any future default changes made by Splunk to that data model and pushed though an update. Instead, if you have already modified this data model and it misses these fields, apply the following changes:
  1. Stop the data model acceleration (if enabled), if the following fields are missing under the field list: _time=* sourcetype=* host=* source=*
  2. Add the missing fields into each dataset.

    _time=* sourcetype=* host=* source=* (could be necessary to add index="NAME OF THE INDEXES" unless specified within the linked macro.

  3. Edit the dataset extracted fields and checkbox _time=* sourcetype=* host=* source=*
  4. Save the changes.
  5. Enable acceleration if it was enabled.
  6. Edit the impacted threat matching data sets by adding these matching fields

2024-04-19SOLNESS-43346, BLUERIDGE-12191, SOLNESS-47298IR Timeline is not editing selected filters even though shows that only those will be editedWorkaround:Manual and slow steps:

Changes could be achieved by manually increasing the number of results in the IR dashboard to 100. Then using the checkbox at the top left, select all the viewable notables in the page. Edit the "selected Events" and update these 100s in bulk.
