Bug fixes and updates

Improvements, new features and functionality

  • Collecting Data

    • Various optimisations have been made to reduce peak memory usage by in-flight data buffers for data collection and protocol encoding in back-fill scenarios, such as when handling a large amount of data from a file source with a slow or missing connection to ingest endpoints.

    • Database sources now require secure communication by default. A new database security option has been added that allows disabling connection security for database sources (TCP instead of TCPS and disabled certificate checks).

      This is controlled by the allowInsecureDatabase program flag and enables connectivity to database servers that do not support encrypted connections. Activating these flags will result in warnings and discoverability in Fleet Overview.

  • Other

    • Ingest retries now include a 25% random delay variation (jitter) when using exponential backoff. This ensures that if the ingestion endpoint is temporarily unavailable, retry attempts are distributed over time rather than occurring simultaneously, reducing the risk of overloading the endpoint (known as a 'thundering herd' scenario) and allowing it to recover more quickly.

    • The Go version has been updated to take advantage of the latest optimizations and security updates.

Bug Fixes

  • Collecting Data

    • Fixed a bug where additionalColumns in the database source did not work if the column name and field name differed. Column-to-field mapping now works correctly regardless of naming.

    • Improved handling of edge cases with CR/LF line endings.
