Version 0.34.0 significantly expands the operator's capabilities with advanced telemetry monitoring, package and package registry options, and event forwarder and event forwarding rules.

Breaking Changes

The following items create a breaking change in the behavior, response or operation of this release.

  • Configuration

    • Implemented version-aware Kafka configuration migration system to handle deprecated configuration options. However, clusters running LogScale 1.225.0 and greater may experience a breaking change if they are using extraKafkaConfigs. The automatic migration system in this release does not fully convert deprecated Kafka configurations to the new environment variable format. See the Kafka configuration migration documentation for proper migration steps.

Removed

Items that have been removed as of this release.

Custom Resource Definition

  • Removed the HumioTelemetry CRD in favor of the new split telemetry architecture using HumioTelemetryCollection and HumioTelemetryExport resources.

Upgrades

Changes that may occur or be required during an upgrade.

  • Configuration

    • LogScale 1.173.0 deprecated the EXTRA_KAFKA_CONFIGS_FILE environment variable in favor of individual Kafka environment variables. Starting with LogScale 1.225.0, LogScale will not start if EXTRA_KAFKA_CONFIGS_FILE is present.

      To migrate your Kafka configuration, replace extraKafkaConfigs in your HumioCluster with individual environment variables using the appropriate Kafka client prefixes. For complete migration instructions and examples, see the Kafka Configuration Migration Guide.

      Quick transformation example: bootstrap.servers=kafka:9092 becomes KAFKA_COMMON_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS=kafka:9092.

New features and improvements

  • Custom Resource Definition

    • Introduced package management capabilities with HumioPackageRegistry and HumioPackage CRDs. Supports multiple registry types including GitHub, GitLab, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, JFrog Artifactory, and LogScale Marketplace. Enables automated installation and management of LogScale packages through Kubernetes resources.

    • Added HumioEventForwarder and HumioEventForwardingRule CRDs for managing event forwarding configurations. These resources enable declarative configuration of event forwarding rules and destinations within LogScale clusters.

    • Added HumioSavedQuery Custom Resource Definition for managing LogScale saved queries through Kubernetes. The CRD supports Kubernetes Conditions for status reporting and enables declarative management of saved queries across LogScale clusters.

    • Replaced the previous HumioTelemetry CRD with a telemetry system featuring HumioTelemetryCollection and HumioTelemetryExport resources. The new system provides flexible data collection schedules, multiple export destinations, and status reporting for monitoring LogScale cluster usage and performance metrics.

Fixed in this release

  • Functions

    • Fixed query-capable node pool discovery when clusters use both main node pools and additional ingest-only node pools. The telemetry collector now correctly identifies and targets query-capable pods for LogScale API operations.
