Bug fixes and updates.

Advanced Warning

The following items are due to change in a future release.

  • Installation and Deployment

    • We aim to stop publishing the jar distribution of LogScale (e.g. server-1.117.jar) as of LogScale version 1.130.0.

      Users deploying via Docker images are not affected. Users deploying on bare metal should ensure they deploy the tar artifact, and not the jar artifact.

      A migration guide for bare metal deployments is available at How-To: Migrating from server.jar to Launcher Startup.

    • We intend to drop support for Java 17, making Java 21 the minimum. We plan to make this change in March 2024.

Removed

Items that have been removed as of this release.

Configuration

  • The DEFAULT_PARTITION_COUNT configuration parameter has been removed, as it was unused by the system due to earlier changes to partition handling.

Deprecation

Items that have been deprecated and may be removed in a future release.

  • The assetType GraphQL field on Alert, Dashboard, Parser, SavedQuery and ViewInteraction datatypes has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.136 of LogScale.

  • In the GraphQL API, the ChangeTriggersAndAction enum value for both the Permission and ViewAction enum is now deprecated and will be removed in version 1.136 of LogScale.

  • In the GraphQL API, the name argument to the parser field on the Repository datatype has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.136 of LogScale.

New features and improvements

  • GraphQL API

    • Added limits for GraphQL queries on the total number of selected fields and fragments. Defaults are 1000 for authenticated and 150 for unauthenticated users.

      Cluster administrators can adjust these limits with the GraphQLSelectionSizeLimit and UnauthenticatedGraphQLSelectionSizeLimit dynamic configurations.

  • Ingestion

    • The amount of logging produced by DigestLeadershipLoggerJob has been reduced in clusters with many ingest queue partitions.

  • Functions

    • The new array:length() function has been introduced. It finds the length of an array by counting the number of array entries.

      For more information, see array:length().

Fixed in this release

  • UI Changes

    • When hovering over a query function in the query editor, the link to the function's documentation now always points to the latest version of the page.
