Version 6.1.2

Bugfixes

• Drivers (Windows) [I459]: when programs are started from network file shares, file handles to the executables (EXEs or DLLs) might be kept open.

Release notes

• There have been no changes to the Splunk apps or the macOS agent in this release.

Known issues

• Agent [I439]: memory leak when the metric ProcessStartup is set as an on-demand timer for uberAgent versions greater or equal 6.0. To fix this, remove ProcessStartup from the [OnDemand] stanza. Note that it’s removed by default.
• Boot duration (Windows): the metrics TotalBootTimeMs, MainPathBootTimeMs and PostBootTimeMs cannot be determined for every system boot.
• Browsers/IE add-on (Windows): metrics are not collected on page reload.
• Browsers/IE add-on (Windows): metrics are collected incompletely for the configured start page.
• Browsers/IE add-on (Windows) monitoring does not work if IE is published from Citrix Virtual Apps. It does work from Citrix Virtual Desktops, however.
• Citrix ADC: in very rare cases the content of the Virtual Server Performance field vServerName contains spaces in wrong places.
• Citrix site monitoring (Windows): data collection issue if the Citrix Remote Powershell SDK (required for Citrix Cloud monitoring) is installed on a CVAD controller.
• Citrix XA/XD Machines (Windows): when running the Citrix VDA on a Citrix Delivery Controller, some per-machine information is missing.
• Experience score [I377]: scheduled searches generate three warnings in Splunk’s _internal index every 30 minutes. The messages look like the following: DateParserVerbose - Failed to parse timestamp in first MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD (128) characters of event.. However, there is no impact on uberAgent’s functionality.
• GPU (Windows) [I33]: values for the fields ComputeUsagePercentAllEngines, ComputeUsagePercentEngine0 and similar can be higher than 100 with Intel Iris GPUs on Windows Server 2016 1607.
• Kafka [I291]: in rare cases sending data to Kafka results in a SEC_E_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL error message in the logfile. This should have no affect; the transmission is repeated and succeeds on the second try.
• Performance [I372] (macOS): running uberAgent has a noticeable impact on I/O performance of small writes. As a workaround, the new config flag DisableESFileSystemMonitoring has been added. If set, performance will not be impacted, but ProcIOWriteCount and ProcIOPSWrite will not be available in uberAgent:Process:ProcessDetail.
• Update inventory (Windows): not all installed Windows updates may be reported due to API limitations.
• Volume inventory (macOS): the encryption status of mounted read-only APFS snapshots may not be reported due to API limitations. This includes the root directory volume in a default installation of macOS.
