Title: InMemoryTable Adhoc Enrichment windows are not getting uploaded with data.
Problem: When the user adds the Adhoc In-Memory table enrichment under CONFIGURE > ESA > Enrichment Sources, the CSV file gets uploaded via UI, but upon using the enrichment in an ESA Rule and deployment, the contents are not read to the named window, and thus are not accessible for the rule to enrich the rule/alerts. There might be an impact of alerts not getting enriched, or the rule condition (if in-memory table enrichment reference is added to the rule) might not work as expected.
Workaround: Re-import the CSV file post-enrichment creation and deploy the rules again. Basically, the CSV file must be imported twice upon enrichment creation/update for the content to be reflected in the named window. Users can confirm if the data is uploaded to the named window under the “Named Windows” section of CONFIGURE > ESA Rules > Settings Page.

| UEBA |
Title: Red banner errors are displayed on the Users page after the UEBA host upgrade
Problem: When you upgrade the UEBA host, you may encounter an issue where red banner errors are displayed on the Users page. A communication delay between the UEBA server and the Presidio UI service usually causes this issue.
Workaround: To resolve this issue, perform the following steps.

Title: Airflow shows a warning message that the scheduler task is not running
Problem: Airflow UI warning message “The scheduler does not appear to be running. Last heartbeat was received xx seconds ago. The DAGs list may not update, and new tasks will not be scheduled”. This issue could occur due to a delayed response from the UEBA server.
Workaround: To resolve the issue, try refreshing the page a couple of times. If the issue persists, connect to the UEBA server to check the airflow scheduler services.

| Reporting Engine |
Title: Generic error message is displayed for duplicate report names in Investigate > Events Page
Problem: When you create or schedule a report from the Investigate > Events page using a report name that already exists, an error message will be displayed. However, the error message displayed is generic and provides limited information. The error message states, "Error generating report. Please check respond-server.log/investigate-server.log and sa.log”

| Investigate |
Title: Use of Enter as a shortcut key to select a query suggestion in Advanced Query mode.
Problem: When you construct a query in Advanced Query Bar mode in the Investigate > Events view, pressing Enter key will select and execute the query instead of only selecting a suggestion from the query suggestions list. This action is not in line with the Guided Query Mode, where pressing Enter key selects a suggestion from the query suggestions list but does not execute the query.
Workaround: Use the Tab key to select a suggestion from the query suggestions list while you are in the Advanced Query Bar mode. |

| Investigate |
Title: Unable to load a saved query to the query bar in Advanced Query Bar mode.
Problem: When you select a saved query while you are in Advanced Query Bar mode in the Investigate > Events view, the selected saved query is not loaded into the query bar and is not applied to the executed query either.
Workaround: NetWitness recommends you use Guided Mode if you want to execute a saved query in Investigate > Events view. |
12.3 |
ASOC-133508 |
|
| Investigate |
Title: Unable to execute a query when a service is updated to Decoder/Log decoder in Advanced Query Bar mode.
Problem: When you update a service to decoder/log decoder while you are in Advanced Query Bar mode in the Investigate > Events view, the search button is enabled but, clicking the search button does not execute the query or show an error. This happens because of unindexed keys in the query for the selected service which is the expected behavior with any unindexed keys. In Guided Mode, an error is displayed as soon as the service is updated using the service selection drop-down.
Workaround: You need to remove the unindexed keys from the query before executing it. |

Title: Publish and Restart pop-up does not appear while publishing policy from Policy listing page.
Problem: When any configuration which requires service restart, is updated in Policy and it is being published from Policy listing page, pop-up does not appear for “Publish and Restart Now” option. Policy is being published with “Publish and Restart Later” option automatically and services need to be restarted later.
Workaround: a. Restart service(s) from Groups page 1. Go to Groups listing page. 2. Select Group in which service(s) require restart.
or b. Publish and restart from Edit Policy view.

| Investigate |
Title: The most recent query is not populated while creating a new saved query in Advanced Query mode.
Problem: Usually, the most recently executed query is auto-populated in the Pre-Query Conditions field when you try to save a new query. But, while you are in Investigate > Events > Event Preferences > Advanced Query mode, the most recently executed query is not auto-populated in the Pre-Query Conditions field when you try to save the query (Saved Queries > New Saved Query).
Workaround: We recommend you switch to Guided Mode, run the same query, and then proceed with saving a new query. |

| Log Parser Configuration |
Title: Missing list of Logparsers in Dropdown when trying to Add new Parser
Problem: The dropdown does not list existing Out of box (OOTB) Logparsers because UI is not able to sync with the previously synced Log Decoder service to fetch those OOTB Logparsers.
Workaround:
The dropdown list will start getting populated. |

| UEBA |
Title: When UEBA receives a high volume of events, the root DAG becomes unresponsive as it awaits the completion of other associated DAGs.
Problem: Upon receiving a high volume of events, the root DAG of UEBA becomes unresponsive as it awaits the completion of other associated DAGs, resulting in failures in the model_ueba_flow DAGs for their respective schemas. These failures are followed by errors related to java.heap.memory, as shown below.
Workaround:
2. Click the DAG ID and then click Tree View. 3. In the Tree View, click the failed task instance and click View Log. The log view is displayed. 4. SSH to the UEBA server. 5. Open 6. Increase the heap memory size of respective failing DAGs with their respective operator by two times. For example, if it is 2048, make it 4096. 7. In the Tree View, click the failed task instance and click Clear.

| ESA Correlation Server |
Title: Enable / Disable of rules in Endpoint Risk Scoring bundle applies to all deployments.
Problem: When a rule in the Endpoint Risk Scoring Bundle is either enabled / disabled from the ESA Service Stats UI it throws an error on UI. However, in the backend, the rule gets enabled / disabled. The disabled list of rules is saved in the keyValueRuleSettings as a generic setting without any associated engine ID. As it doesn’t have any engine id associated with it, the config acts like a global configuration. In all the deployments, wherever the Endpoint Risk Scoring Bundle is deployed, the rules disabled in any one deployment get automatically disabled in all deployments.
Workaround: N/A |

Title: The Agent performs the YARA scan only for the YARA Rule files with .yar extension in their filenames.
Problem: The Agent performs the YARA scan only for the YARA Rule files with .yar extension in their filenames and ignores the YARA Rule files with the filenames ending with the other extensions such as .txt and .yara. As a result, the YARA Rule files with any other extension except .yar are not scanned. This issue occurs due to the Agent's Rule file extensions validation check.
Workaround: You must rename the file extension of the YARA Rule files to .yar to perform Agent YARA scan. |

| UEBA | Title: When performing a rerun, UEBA deployments with the TLS schema will not trigger alerts for two weeks. Problem: When your UEBA deployment contains the TLS schema and you add any other schema to it or if you add the TLS schema to your UEBA deployment, a UEBA rerun is required. During the UEBA rerun, no alerts are generated for any data sources. For UEBA deployments with TLS, the historical data processed is limited to 14 days and thus the data collected in these two weeks (14 days) becomes a part of the learning period and will be used to build the baseline for the models. For example, if you are processing data for a period of time, and then decide to add another schema such as authentication and your deployment contains TLS, a UEBA rerun is required. The rerun is performed on all existing schemas along with the newly added schema and so during these two weeks of rerun, no alerts are triggered. Workaround: None |

Workarounds: If the sessions in your ESA rule deployment are up to date, you can remove @ or _ from the end of the deployment name, redeploy the deployment, and then upgrade to 11.5.0. If the sessions in your ESA rule deployment are always behind and you cannot change the deployment name, wait until this position tracking issue is fixed before you upgrade. |

The logs are written to slf4j-log4j12-1.7.25.jar instead of logback-classic-1.2.3.jar due to which the adaptor logs are not written. Workaround: To solve this issue, you must delete the slf4j-log4j12-1.7.25.jar libraries from the flume library directory available on the UEBA machine using the following commands: rm /var/netwitness/presidio/flume/plugins.d/PresidioStreamingSource/libext/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.25.jar and rm /var/netwitness/presidio/flume/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.25.jar |

Title: Filter Events Panel Shows Unexpected Results for Query Containing an Unwrapped OR Problem: When you use OR in a query in the Events view and then drill into the result using a left-click option from the Events Filter panel, the new filter is added with an AND, without adding parentheses around the existing filters that use a logical OR. This gives different results than expected when compared to Navigate view and Legacy Events view results. Workaround: When adding to a query in the Events panel, whether via left or right click in the Filter Events panel or linking from outside Events, the existing filter must be enclosed in parentheses if there is a top-level, unwrapped OR, either as its own operator or inside a complex filter. For example, service = 80 OR service = 443 AND sourcefile = 'email.pcap' will not return expected results. Edit the filter to enclose the logical OR statement in parentheses as follows: (service = 80 OR service = 443) AND sourcefile = 'email.pcap'. If the filter is service = 80,25 AND filename = ‘invoice’, enclose it in parentheses as follows: (service 80,25) AND filename =‘invoice’. To enclose the logical OR expression in an additional set of parentheses; select the two filters in the query bar, right-click one of them, and select Wrap in parentheses in the drop-down menu. |

| Core Services | Title: Customizing the index level to IndexNone for keys that are part of entities can result in errors during index lookup. Problem: Customizing the index level from IndexValues to IndexNone for meta keys that are part of entities requires that those meta keys be excluded from the entities. Failing to exclude the meta keys results in errors during index search operations (for example, msearch). Workaround: For example, if the context meta key index level is changed from IndexValues to IndexNone, then exclude the context meta key from the corresponding entities (for example, context.all). Since context is a default meta key, you would override the context.all entity in the index-concentrator-custom.xml file and exclude the context meta key from the entity. After this update, the context meta key and the context.all entity would be displayed as shown in the following example in the index-concentrator-custom.xml file. <key description="Context" name="context" format="Text" level="IndexNone" defaultAction="Closed"/> <entity description="All Context Keys" name="context.all"><keyref name="context.src"/><keyref name="context.dst"/></entity> |

To be able to add, deploy, update, and delete parsers in the Log Parser Rules view, users must be granted the parsers.manage permission on all Log Decoders.

Title: Esper metrics collection can impact performance in some environments with ESA rules that consume large amounts of memory. Problem (11.4.0.x): Metric collection in Esper version 8.2.0 is different than the previous 7.1.0 version. For an ESA Correlation server with rules that consume a lot of memory, the gathering of metrics can consume significant CPU, leading to a drop in EPS when the metrics are being collected. To avoid the drop in EPS, the default interval to collect metrics in NetWitness Platform 11.4 is set to a very large value (999999 days). This prevents the Esper metrics from being collected. Workaround (11.4.0.x): If you need metrics collected at a more frequent interval, you can update the background-metrics-frequency parameter on the ESA Correlation service. Do not set the metrics collection interval lower than 5 minutes.
Problem (11.4.1): Metric collection in Esper version 8.2.0 is different than the previous 7.1.0 version. In a typical deployment, rule metrics calculation finishes very quickly, within seconds. If a rule uses a significant amount of memory, it may take a long time to calculate metrics. During this time, ESA Correlation does not analyze events and this will result in an overall EPS drop. ESA Correlation will attempt to calculate metrics for a maximum of 15 seconds (default) and if any rules have metrics which cannot be calculated in this time, an error will be shown in the logs and ESA Correlation will abort the calculation to avoid further EPS drop. This will result in a maximum of 15 seconds of analysis lost every 5 minutes (background-metrics-frequency). Workaround (11.4.1): If you need metrics collected at a more frequent interval, you can update the background-metrics-frequency and metrics-timeout parameters on the ESA Correlation service. For example, if you have a rule that is using a lot memory and it cannot be optimized, you can reduce the overall EPS drop by increasing the frequency and / or lowering the timeout.

Title: Recurring In-Memory Table enrichments are not updating. Problem: Recurring In-Memory Table enrichments do not update when the .CSV file changes. If you use Ad Hoc In-Memory Tables, this is not an issue. Recurring In-Memory Table enrichments are no longer supported. It is preferable to use Context Hub List enrichment sources instead of In-Memory Table enrichment sources. You can share Context Hub List enrichment sources across the NetWitness Platform. You can only use the In-Memory Table with ESA Workaround: Change your Recurring In- Memory Tables to Context Hub lists. For each Recurring In-Memory table, do the following:
For information on how to configure a Context Hub List as an enrichment source, see the Alerting with ESA Correlation Rules User Guide. Go to the Master Table of Contents to find all RSA NetWitness Platform 11.x documents. |

Title: When the NOT operator is used in Free-Form Mode without parenthesis, as in NOT medium = 1 vs NOT(medium = 1), the free-form query will fail. Problem: When the NOT operator is placed before an expression like (NOT service = 80), Free-Form Mode is transforming the expression by adding an open parentheses in front of the expression following the NOT; this imbalances the query and produces an error. Workaround: Use this syntax when creating a query in Free-Form Mode: NOT (service = 80). Also, be sure to fix any pre-query or query prefix that has the NOT operator in this form: (NOT service = 80) so that pivoting from Navigate to Events view does not break the flow. |

Title: Packets are not rendered properly and the expected data is not displayed in the Events view packet reconstruction. Problem: Sometimes when reconstructing larger events with multi-page data in the packet reconstruction, the request or response field is blank and no data is loaded. Workaround: Click the Web reconstruction icon above the packet reconstruction. After the web reconstruction opens in the Legacy Events view, switch back to the packet reconstruction. |

Title: The packet reconstruction being viewed does not have data loaded after leaving the Events view for the Hosts, Files, or Entities view, and then returns to the Events view using the Events option in the Investigate submenu. Problem: If the packet reconstruction is open and the user moves away from Events view by clicking on the Hosts view, Files view, or Entities view, and comes back to the Events view by clicking Events in the Investigate submenu, there is an issue with the reconstruction. The previous query is executed, but the reconstruction that was open does not load the packet reconstruction as expected. Workaround: Refresh the browser page. |

Title: After upgrading to Version 11.4, there may be issues in the Navigate view and Legacy Events view because the column groups, meta groups, or profile groups permission is disabled for custom user roles. Problem: When the column groups, meta groups, or profile groups permission is disabled for a user, the Load Values button is not displayed in the Navigate view. When column groups permission is disabled, there is an additional issue in the Legacy Events view: Only the Detail view is visible and you cannot select different views and column groups. The issue occurs most frequently after upgrading to 11.4 because new built-in permissions are not automatically applied to custom user roles. Workaround: After completing the upgrade, the administrator needs to enable the required permissions as described in the System Security and User Management Guide. Go to the Master Table of Contents to find all RSA NetWitness Platform 11.x documents. A quick workaround for analysts: To load values in the Navigate view, you can select a different time range to load meta values. There is no workaround for the issue with the Legacy Events view. |

Title: Unable to query meta keys with values and meta values are truncated for some characters like ®. Problem: When some meta values include special characters like ®, analysts cannot drill down using that meta key in the Navigate view. Meta values are also truncated in the Events view. Workaround: Remove the special character if creating a feed, or encode it properly at the source of the feed. |

Title: Log Decoder may not start data aggregation after upgrade. Problem: There can be two reasons that Log Decoder may not start data aggregation:
Workaround: In Log Decoder configuration, the parameter save.session.count=0 or save.session.count=600000000, which was set by default in previous releases, must be set to AUTO.

| Endpoint Server |
Title: Endpoint server is often found in Unhealthy state after a day of deployment. Problem: If you are running an Endpoint Server in an environment that does not contain a Context Hub server, the file status and file reputation features will not work, and the status of the Endpoint Server shows Unhealthy in Health and Wellness. Other Endpoint features will work without the Context Hub Server. Workaround: None |

| Dashboard |
Title: Built-in charts are not enabled by default for multi analyst UI. Problem: When the Admin enables the built-in dashboards on any node, the dashboards and the corresponding charts are enabled only on the selected node. On the other nodes, the corresponding built-in charts are not enabled by default. The built-in dashboards are enabled with an error message, "No active execution details available for chart (chart name)" displayed on the UI. Workaround: The user must login as an Admin on every node and manually enable the built-in charts. |

Title: Updating "Effective Date" daily causes scan schedules to restart. Problem: The default EDR policy does not specify an effective date. If a policy for an agent does not specify the effective date, then the current date is used instead. This causes the group policy document to be updated every day with the new effective date. Any agent using the default effective date setting will then receive an updated policy every day, causing it to restart its scan schedule everyday and resulting in the agent scanning every day regardless of what the actual policy is. Workaround: Edit the default EDR policy and add an effective date. |

Title: Cannot orchestrate an additional component host if the NW Server host was upgraded to 11.3.1.1 without an intermediate upgrade to 11.3.0.2. Problem: If you are upgrading your hosts from 11.0, 11.1, or 11.2 directly to 11.3.1.1, and you want to add a new host after the NW Server Host has been upgraded, the new host cannot be orchestrated. |

Title: Aggregation stops on some Concentrators because of too many open files. Problem: Occasionally, ESA Correlation will encounter an error when aggregating from a Concentrator resulting in a connection leak. Over time, this may result in the 'too many open files' error which will stop aggregation. Workaround: You must restart the ESA Correlation service from the NetWitness Platform user interface.

Title: The default CEF and human-readable format audit templates are not updated after upgrading to 11.3.1. Problem: In 11.3.1, notification templates were updated with additional fields. The updated templates are "Default Audit Human-Readable Format" and "Default Audit CEF Template." If you are using these templates, you must perform the steps below after you update to 11.3.1 to reflect the changes.

Title: Meta keys marked as sensitive for Data Privacy are still included in notifications and alerts for some ESA rules. Problem: In ESA rules that do not select every piece of metadata from the session (that is, using ‘select *’), you may see that data privacy (if enabled) and the Pivot to Investigate > Navigate link accessed from a context tooltip in Respond does not work. Workaround: For 11.4, you can perform the steps that are documented in “Update any ESA Rule that Selects Only Certain Meta Keys from the Session to Include event_ source_id” in the Alerting with ESA Correlation Rules User Guide. Go to the Master Table of Contents to find all RSA NetWitness Platform 11.x documents. |

Title: The available data sources in an ESA rule deployment show details of a deleted host. Problem: If a Concentrator is added to the available data sources for ESA rule deployments and then the host is removed from the NetWitness server, you can still see that host in the available data sources list. Workaround: Remove the host from the available data sources for ESA rule deployments and then redeploy any existing ESA rule deployments that were using that host. To remove the host from the available configured data sources:

Title: In the Event Analysis view, the query console does not replace the information icon with an error icon when a service is offline. Problem: When a queried service is offline, the information icon in the query console should change to an error icon (red triangle with an exclamation point). The border of the query console border turns red, but the information icon does not change to a error triangle. Workaround: None |

Title: When retrieval of events for a query is in progress in the Event Analysis view, events that are already displayed disappear if the query takes more than 5 minutes to finish Problem: This can happen when querying a large set of data with a query that includes expensive operations. The query is auto-canceled after a 5-minute timeout, and an error message is displayed. Workaround: To avoid the timeout, change the query parameters to filter a smaller data set and re-execute the query. |

Title: Respond stats reset after update. Problem: After an update from NetWitness Platform 11.2 to 11.3, Respond statistics are reset in the Incident Rules view (CONFIGURE > Incident Rules). The rule counter for matched alerts and incidents resets to zero and the Last Matched, Matched Alerts, and Incidents columns show only 11.3 values. Workaround: None. Note: This is fixed for updates from 11.3 to 11.3.x or 11.4.x, but is still an issue for updates from 11.2.x to 11.3.x. |

Title: For ESA rules that use enrichment sources, the Ignore Case option does not work for first statement Problem: When creating an ESA rule that uses any enrichment source, if the Ignore Case option is enabled on the first enrichment statement, no results are returned. Note that this issue does not apply to any statements after the first statement (that is, substatements). Workaround: When creating a new rule, the Ignore Case option is now disabled. For existing rules that have the Ignore Case option enabled for an enrichment statement, the option is still enabled but users will be prompted to disable the option when opening the rule in ESA and then save the updated rule. |

Title: In the Event Analysis view, log and network events are not interleaved Problem: Network and log events are interleaved and sorted in time order in the Events view, but in the Event Analysis view, events are sorted differently. In the Event Analysis view, the events are not interleaved as they should be; instead all log events sorted in time order are displayed before all network events sorted in time order. Workaround: Use the Events view to see interleaved network and log events. |

Title: If the URL for a drill point is very long and you use the query in the Event Analysis view, an error (414 Request error) is returned Problem: Several situations create a very long query that the browser cannot handle, especially if you are using Internet Explorer, which has a much lower character limit than most browsers. Pivoting to Event Analysis from Reporting can result in a very long query, and a number of pivots in the Navigate view can create a very long query. Workaround: Continue to work in the Navigate view or Events view when the URL becomes too long to render in the Event Analysis view. |

Title: When all alerts are deleted for an alert rule, the filter for the rule is not properly removed Problem: In the Alerts List view (Respond > Alerts), you can filter alerts by Alert Name and then delete all of the alerts that have that name. If you do not remove the alert name filter after deleting the alerts, the next time the Alerts List view loads, the filter will still be in place, but it will no longer be visible as a checkbox in the Filters panel because all alerts with that name have been deleted. You will continue to see zero results when visiting the Alerts List view. Workaround: Before you refresh or reload the Alerts List view, you can remove the filter by clearing the checkbox by the alert name. If you already refreshed or reloaded the Alerts List view, the only way to remove the hidden filter is to press the Reset Filters button, which removes all filters, including the hidden alert name filter. |

Problem: When the proxy is configured, and NetWitness Platform is updated to 11.2, the license details do not get refreshed automatically or even after clicking the Refresh button in the License Details view. This is because the communication to the license server is not established. Workaround: The administrator has to manually download the license details using the offline mode and upload latest license details through the RSA NetWitness Platform UI.

This is because, in 10.6.x, by default, all the certificates are trusted. However, this is not the case in 11.2. In 11.2, the Trust All certificates option is provided and is disabled by default. Workaround: Navigate to Configure > Custom Feeds and edit the failed feed. Either enable the Trust all option, or upload a valid SSL certificate to resolve the issue.
