Known issues

• If Magnet REVIEW is installed on AWS using an EKS public load balancer, users receive an ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT response when they attempt to access the Magnet REVIEW UI.
  Workaround: Register Magnet REVIEW nodes on the load target groups, then add the target group ports to the cluster security group.
• If the metadata for a case is changed and the user filters the audit log based on the changed data, nothing shows in the case column in the audit log entries.
• When uploading a case via the Upload to Magnet REVIEW tool, users occasionally receive the following message: "Retrying message in 00:05:00 with path : Error while copying content to a stream."
• In Azure environments, attachments larger than 5 GB fail to upload, resulting in an "Error while copying content to a stream" message.
• Due to timeout errors, video previews fail to generate for large FLV files.
• PDF reports fail to generate when previews are included and the case has one or more large video attachments.
• During an upgrade, the installer should not give the admin user the option to select a different primary storage type from that used in the instance. If this happens, the upgrade fails, and it will rollback and existing cluster data remains intact.
• An attempt to generate a system report will fail if there's a case that does not have a hits index (likely due to an issue with ingestion).
  Workaround: Find a case on the Dashboard that has "no evidence sources", then delete the case.
• An issue with the Filmstrip previewer service is causing previewer pods to exceed their memory limits, which cause the pods to be terminated.
  Workaround: Configure the maximum number of video requests to be 2 or less and the Filmstrip previewer pod should not get into a state where it runs out of memory.
• In evidence uploaded from Cellebrite Physical Analyzer, duplicate artifact fragments can be generated if an XML element from the Cellebrite export contains a nested element of the same type.
• Keyword searches applied by the user don't get highlighted in PDF previews if the content exists in the table of contents, links, or occurs over multiple lines.
• Switching to full-screen view in a document preview sometimes causes some UI elements to resize off the screen. This occurs most frequently with larger documents.
