Hi,

We have upgraded Enterprise Security from 4.5.2. to 4.7.1. After the upgrade we are getting two types of error message in our environment.
Type 1:

msg="A script exited abnormally" input="/opt/splunk/etc/apps/SA-Utils/bin/configuration_check.py" stanza="configuration_check://confcheck_es_app_version" status="exited with code 3"

Type 2:

We had this same issue after upgrade to 4.7.0 - Splunk Support advised it was a bug in this version and provided the following fix, which worked for us -

Edit splunk/etc/apps/DA-ESS-ThreatIntelligence/bin/configuration_checks/confcheck_failed_threat_download.py as below:
