Known Issues and Workarounds
- Because the behavior of 'Custom Tag Exists' has changed, saved questions and scheduled actions depending on 'Custom Tag Exists' will need to be recreated. Please consult your TAM for assistance in moving to the new sensor format.
- Because the archiving of Saved Questions within Initial Content has been disabled, users who wish to continue the archiving of these questions should re-enable archiving after import.
- With the addition of a default value from the Custom Tags sensor when there are no tags set, users can now target machines without tags directly. However, caution should be taken to make sure that this new result value does not bring any unintended machines into action targeting.
