Issues fixed in Sentinel Log Manager 1.0.0.3 Release

495806

Issue: Export search result has the same event count limit as search 
refinement (50,000).

Fixed: The 50,000 limit for exporting results has been removed. Now the 
user will be prompted to enter the number of results they want to export.

Issues Fixed

Description

563948

Issue: A message stating that no events have been found by the search is 
displayed even before the search is completed.

Fixed: The 

no events found

 message only appears if no events are 

found after the completion of a search.

560580

Issue: Occasional searches run from the search tool bar used the previous 
search string instead of the new search string.

Fixed: A new search run from the search tool bar uses the new search 
string.

556411

Issue: Squashfs indexes that were mounted by a previous running 
instance of the server are not cleaned up when the server starts, resulting 
is failed searches.

Fixed: The server now detects if old mounts need to be cleaned up and 
cleans them up allowing searches to complete normally.

552519

Issue: The softwarekey.sh script was not included in the install, making it 
difficult to reset the license key with the server turned off.

Fixed: The softwarekey.sh script is now included.

549582

Issue: An event is not searchable by its original timestamp if it arrives 
more than a day late.

Fixed: The event is searchable by its original timestamp no matter how 
late it arrives.

546324 

Issue: A rule or data retention policy configured with a filter that is just a full 
text search (i.e., no field such as 

sev:5

 is specified) results in an error on 

the server that prevents any users from logging into the Web interface or 
ESM user interface.

Fixed: The bug is fixed so that all valid filters are now accepted and 
evaluated properly. Filter validation is also done before allowing a user to 
save a filter to prevent an invalid filter from being saved that would cause 
logins to fail.
