Known Issues

This section lists the known issues in Skylar Advisor for this release.

  • After provisioning a Skylar AI system, the system requires approximately ten minutes to fully stabilize before you can use it. (Jira ID: SKY-5053)

  • A Skylar AI instance can ingest telemetry from multiple external sources, but only one Skylar One system should be configured to send telemetry to that Skylar AI instance to prevent data collisions and potential data corruption. To avoid this situation, do not reuse a Skylar AI authentication token with more than one Skylar One systems that are sending data to that Skylar AI instance. (Jira ID: SKY-3538)

  • In the Skylar AI user interface, Admin, Editor, or Viewer user types are currently unable to access the Data Visualization page directly using the Analytics link, resulting in a 403 error. Currently only Owner users can log in to Skylar Analytics using this link. (Case: 00725289) (Jira ID: SKY-5262)

  • An Advisory in Skylar Advisor might get re-ingested into Skylar One as a new event, potentially causing duplicate Advisories. (Jira ID: SKY-5445)

  • If you have the zoom for your browser set to 110% or higher, you will not be able to add your multi-factor (MFA) information because the footer covers the input boxes. To work around this issue, set your browser to 100% zoom or less. (Jira ID: SKY-5337)

  • Dynamic Application objects with special characters in the name might conflict with other objects in Skylar AI reporting tables. The workaround for this issue is to modify the Dynamic Application objects so that the name does not contain a special character. (Case: 00617628) (Jira ID: SKY-3305)

  • If you had customized tables and views in an older version of the Data Visualization component of Skylar Analytics, that data will not display correctly if you upgrade to Skylar AI version 2.1.0. Any tables and views created in the local database require that the "InstID" and "OrgID" columns contain data for related datasets, charts, and dashboards to be functional. You should not experience this issue if your tables and views in the local database contain values in the "InstID" and "OrgID" columns. (Jira ID: SKY-3824)

  • If an Administrator user removes the "Event Trends (Sample)" dashboard on the Manage Bundles tab of the Dashboards page, the dashboard still appears in the Data Visualization component of Skylar Analytics. Also, if the "Interface Explorer (Sample)" dashboard is added using the Dashboards page, that dashboard does not display in Data Visualization. (Jira IDs: SKY-3739, SKY-3737)

  • Skylar AI uses unique PowerPack naming conventions for creating datasets in the Data Visualization component. If you change the name of a PowerPack, Skylar AI triggers a new dataset, which will cause charts to fail and lose the historical data for that PowerPack. At this time, ScienceLogic recommends that you do not rename any PowerPacks in Skylar One if that Skylar One system is connected to a Skylar AIenvironment.

  • When Anomaly Detection trains on a metric whose declared unit is "%", the upper bound of the AD confidence band is constrained to 100 based on the assumption that percentage-unit metrics fall within 0–100. However, this setting does not account for metrics that could return values above 100%.
