Workflow status and ownership reset after 2.41 to 3.22 ES upgrade

I recently upgraded to ES 3.2.2 on a splunk 6.2.2 deployment.

For some reason all notable events have been reset to status new and the owner has been changed to unassigned.

I also can not query events using the incident_review macro any longer.

The incident_review.csv file still contains all the status and comment changes that have been made, but for some reason none of that is being populated into splunk.

Any ideas?

ES 3.2.1 no longer users the CSV lookup file to maintain the state of notable events; it now uses a KV-store (necessary in order to support Search Head Clustering). ES 3.2.1 automatically migrates the contents of incident_review.csv to the KV-store upon upgrade.

You should still be able to view the contents using the incident_review lookup though since the macro refers to incident_review_lookup which now points to the KV-store based lookup (unless customizations were made on your install).

I'm not sure why the statuses were reset. I would recommend opening a support case to troubleshoot the issue.
