KB 153 (Splunk): jQuery and Python Compatibility with Splunk Cloud

Description

SAP PowerConnect for Splunk app versions 6.5.0 and prior are losing compatibility with Splunk Cloud and will no longer be available on Splunkbase. However, new releases beyond 6.5.0 may be flagged for jQuery incompatibility.

Cause

Splunk is no longer supporting apps making use of Python 2 and jQuery 3.5—including older versions of Python and jQuery—in Splunk Cloud. The incompatibility flag in versions newer than 6.5.0 is a result of the Upgrade Readiness app finding a string in a Javascript file mentioning an earlier release of the jQuery library. This does not indicate the version being used, but the Upgrade Readiness app flags it regardless. Please disregard this warning; the app now fulfills the requirements from Splunk.

Resolution

Please install the latest version of SAP PowerConnect for Splunk and dismiss the warning if necessary.
