Bug fixes and updates.

Advance 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.

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.

• The any argument to the type parameter of sort() and table() has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.142.

  Warnings prompts will be shown in queries that fall into either of these two cases:

  • If you are explicitly supplying an any argument, please either simply remove both the parameter and the argument, for example change sort(..., type=any) to sort(...) or supply the argument for type that corresponds to your data.

  • If you are sorting hexadecimal values by their equivalent numerical values, please change the argument of type parameter to hex e.g. sort(..., type=hex).

  In all other cases, no action is needed.

  The new default value for sort() and table() will be number. Both functions will fall back to lexicographical ordering for values that cannot be understood as the provided argument for type.

• 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.

• The humio Docker image is deprecated in favor of humio-core. humio is no longer considered suitable for production use, as it runs Kafka and Zookeeper on the same host as LogScale, which our deployment guidelines no longer recommend. The final release of humio Docker image will be in version 1.130.0.

  The new humio-single-node-demo image is an all-in-one container suitable for quick and easy demonstration setups, but which is entirely unsupported for production use.

  For more information, see Installing Using Containers.

• We are deprecating the humio/kafka and humio/zookeeper Docker images due to low use. The planned final release for these images will be with LogScale 1.148.0.

  Better alternatives are available going forward. We recommend the following:

  • If your cluster is deployed on Kubernetes: STRIMZI

  • If your cluster is deployed to AWS: MSK

  If you still require humio/kafka or humio/zookeeper for needs that cannot be covered by these alternatives, please contact Support and share your concerns.

• 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.

Behavior Changes

Scripts or environment which make use of these tools should be checked and updated for the new configuration:

• Ingestion

  • It is no longer possible to delete a parser that is being used in an ingest feed. The parser must first be removed from the ingest feed.

    For more information, see Delete an Ingest Feed.
