This release promotes the latest 1.15 release from preview to stable. To see more details, go through the individual 1.15.x release notes (links in the changelog).

Humio will set ingest timestamps on all events. This is set in the field named @ingesttimestamp. In later versions, Humio will also support specifying the search time interval using @ingesttimestamp when searching. This will support use cases where data is backfilled etc.

Field based throttling: It is now possible to make an alert throttle based on a field, so that new values for the field trigger the alert, but already seen values do not until the throttle period has elapsed.

Notifier logging to a Humio repository: It is now possible to configure an alert notifier that will log all events to a Humio repository.

Slack notifier upgrade to notify multiple Slack channels: It is now possible to use the Slack notifier to notify multiple Slack channels at once.

Events as HTML table: In an email notifier, it is now possible to format the events as an HTML table using the new message template {events_html}. Currently, the order of the columns is not well-defined. This problem will be fixed in the 1.17.0 release.

Configure notifier to not use the internet proxy: It is now possible to configure an alert notifier to not use the HTTP proxy configured in Humio.

Redesigned signup and login pages. For cloud, we have have split the behavior so users have to explicitly either login or signup.

Invite flow: When adding a user to Humio they will now by default get an email telling them that they have been invited to use Humio.

Configure Humio to not use the internet proxy for S3: It is now possible to configure Humio to not use the globally configured HTTP proxy for communcation with S3.

Auto-Balanced Partition Table Suggestions

When changing digest and storage partitions it is now possible to get auto-balanced suggestions based on node zone and replication factor settings (via ZONE, DIGEST_REPLICATION_FACTOR and STORAGE_REPLICATION_FACTOR configurations). See Configuration Settings.

The AWS SDK Humio uses has been upgraded to v2. When configuring Humio bucket storage with Java system properties, the access key must now be in the aws.secretAccessKey property instead of the aws.secretKey property.
