Known Issues

• Some installs of the app on Splunk Cloud platform may experience a setup loop in the app. Unfortunately, we are still unsure of the exact cause of the issue. Please refer to KB 212 for more information.

• The setup page checks for a capability that is unavailable to sc_admin users on Splunk Cloud. This capability requirement has been removed in version 8.5.1. Please refer to KB 231 for more information.

• The CPI - S/4 HANA Correlation (STATS) dashboard panel “Avg Java Response Time“ should be named “Avg CPI Response Time.” This issue is visual only; the query functions as intended. Please see KB 233 for more details.
