Bug fixes and updates.
Deprecation
Items that have been deprecated and may be removed in a future release.
The
anyargument to thetypeparameter ofsort()andtable()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
anyargument, please either simply remove both the parameter and the argument, for example changesort(..., type=any)tosort(...)or supply the argument fortypethat corresponds to your data.If you are sorting hexadecimal values by their equivalent numerical values, please change the argument of
typeparameter tohexe.g.sort(..., type=hex).In all other cases, no action is needed.
The new default value for
sort()andtable()will benumber. Both functions will fall back to lexicographical ordering for values that cannot be understood as the provided argument fortype.In the GraphQL API, the
nameargument to theparserfield on theRepositorydatatype has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.136 of LogScale.We are deprecating the
humio/kafkaandhumio/zookeeperDocker 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 you still require
humio/kafkaorhumio/zookeeperfor needs that cannot be covered by these alternatives, please contact Support and share your concerns.The
assetTypeGraphQL field onAlert,Dashboard,Parser,SavedQueryandViewInteractiondatatypes has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.136 of LogScale.In the GraphQL API, the
ChangeTriggersAndActionenum value for both thePermissionandViewActionenum is now deprecated and will be removed in version 1.136 of LogScale.The following GraphQL queries and mutations for interacting with parsers are deprecated and scheduled for removal in version 1.142.
The deprecated createParser() mutation is replaced by createParserV2() . The differences between the old and new mutation are:
testDatainput field is replaced bytestCases, which can contain more data than the old tests could. This includes adding assertions to the output of a test. These assertions are not displayed in the UI yet. To emulate the old API, you can take the old test string and put it in theParserTestEventInputinside theParserTestCaseInput, and they will behave the same as before.
fieldsToBeRemovedBeforeParsingcan now be specified as part of the parser creation.
forcefield is renamed toallowOverwritingExistingParser.
sourceCodefield is renamed toscript.
tagFieldsfield is renamed tofieldsToTag.
languageVersionis no longer an enum, but aLanguageVersionInputTypeinstead.The mutation returns a
Parser, instead of aParserwrapped in an object.The mutation fails when a parser has more than 2,000 test cases, or the test input in a single test case exceeds 40,000 characters.
The deprecated removeParser() mutation is replaced by deleteParser(). The difference between the old and new mutation is:
The mutation returns boolean to represent success or failure, instead of a
Parserwrapped in an object.The deprecated testParser() mutation is replaced by testParserV2() . The differences between the old and new mutation are:
The test cases are now structured types, instead of just being strings. To emulate the old API, take the test string and put it in the
ParserTestEventInputinside theParserTestCaseInput, and they will behave the same as before.The new test cases can contain assertions about the contents of the output.
The mutation output is significantly different from before, as it provides more detailed information on how a test case has failed.
The mutation now accepts both a language version and list of fields to be removed before parsing.
The
parserScriptfield is renamed toscript.The
tagFieldsfield is renamed tofieldsToTag.The deprecated updateParser() mutation is replaced by updateParserV2() where more extensive test cases can be set. Continuing to use the previous API may result in test information on parsers being lost. To ensure information is not unintentionally erased, please migrate away from the deprecated APIs for both reading and updating parser test cases and use updateParserV2() instead. The differences between the previous and the new mutation are:
testDatainput field is replaced bytestCases, which can contain more data than the old tests could. This includes adding assertions to the output of a test. These assertions are not displayed in the UI yet. To emulate the old API, you can take the old test string and put it in theParserTestEventInputinside theParserTestCaseInput, and they will behave the same as before.
sourceCodefield, used to updating the parser script, is changed to thescriptfield, which takes aUpdateParserScriptInputobject. This updates the parser script and the language version together.
tagFieldsfield is renamed tofieldsToTag.The
languageVersionis located inside theUpdateParserScriptInputobject, and is no longer an enum, but aLanguageVersionInputTypeinstead.The
repositoryNameandidfields are now correctly marked as mandatory in the schema. Previously this wasn't the case, even though the mutation would fail without them.The mutation returns a
Parser, instead of aParserwrapped in an object.The old mutation had a bug where it would overwrite the
languageVersionwith a default value in some cases, which is fixed in the new one.The mutation fails when a parser has more than 2,000 test cases, or the test input in a single test case exceeds 40,000 characters.
On the Parser type:
testDatafield is deprecated and replaced bytestCases.
sourceCodefield is deprecated and replaced byscript.
tagFieldsfield is deprecated and replaced byfieldsToTag.For more information, see DeleteParserInput , LanguageVersionInputType , createParserV2() , testParserV2() , updateParserV2() , Parser .
Behavior Changes
Scripts or environment which make use of these tools should be checked and updated for the new configuration:
Storage
We've removed a throttling behavior that prevented background merges of mini-segments from running when digest load is high. Such throttling can cause
globalin the LogScale cluster to grow over time if the digest load isn't transient, which is undesirable.Moving mini-segments to the digest leader in cases where it is not necessary is now avoided. This new behavior reduces
globaltraffic on digest reassignment.Registering local segment files is skipped on nodes that are configured to not have storage via their node role.
When booting a node, wait until we've caught up to the top of
globalbefore publishing the start message. This should help avoid global publish timeouts on boot whenglobalhas a lot of traffic.
New features and improvements
User Interface
The parser test window width can now be resized.
Other
The
metricsendpoint for the scheduled report render node has been updated to output the Prometheus text based format.
Fixed in this release
User Interface
Duplicate HTML escape has been removed to prevent recursive field references having double escaped formatting in emails.
Storage
We've fixed a rarely hit error in the query scheduler causing a
ClassCastExceptionforscala.runtime.Nothing..
Functions
join()function has been fixed as warnings of the sub-query would not propagate to the main-query result.Serialization of very large query states would crash nodes by requesting an array larger than what the JVM can allocate. This issue has been fixed.
Early Access
Functions
The
readFile()function no longer supports JSON files. The function is currently labeled as Early Access.
Improvement
Storage
Concurrency for segment merging is improved, thus avoiding some unnecessary and inefficient pauses in execution.
We've switched to running the
RetentionJobin a separate thread fromDataSyncJob. This should enable more consistent merging.The
RetentionJobwork is now divided among nodes such that there's no overlap. This reduces traffic inglobal.An internal limit on use of off-heap memory has been adjusted to allow more threads to perform segment merging in parallel.
Functions
Some performance improvements have been made to the
join()function, allowing it to skip blocks that do not contain the specified fields of the main and sub-query.
