Bug fixes and updates.
Deprecation
Items that have been deprecated and may be removed in a future release.
The
lastScheduledSearchfield from theScheduledSearchdatatype is now deprecated and planned for removal in LogScale version 1.202. The newlastExecutedandlastTriggeredfields have been added to theScheduledSearchdatatype to replacelastScheduledSearch.
Upgrades
Changes that may occur or be required during an upgrade.
Installation and Deployment

New features and improvements
User Interface
A custom dialog now helps users save their widget changes on the
Dashboardpage before continuing on theSearchpage.
Configuration
A new boolean dynamic configuration parameter,
DisableNewRegexEnginehas been added for disabling the LogScale Regular Expression Engine V2 globally on the cluster. This parameter does not stop queries that are already running and using the engine, but prevents the submission of new ones. See Setting a Dynamic Configuration Value for an example of how to set dynamic configurations.
Dashboards and Widgets
The
Bar Chartwidget can now be configured in the style panel with a horizontal or vertical orientation.
Functions
The new query functions
crypto:sha1()andcrypto:sha256()have been added. These functions compute a cryptographic SHA-hashing of the given fields and output ahexstring as the result.
Fixed in this release
Storage
Mini-segments would not be prioritized correctly when fetching them from bucket storage. This issue has now been fixed.
Dashboards and Widgets
Long values rendered in the
Single Valuewidget would overflow the widget container. This issue has now been fixed.
Queries
The query scheduler has been fixed for an issue that could cause queries to get stuck in rare cases.
Improvement
User Interface
Improving the information messages that are displayed in the query editor when errors with lookup files used in queries occur.
Queries
Worker query prioritization is improved in specific cases where a query starts off highly resource-consuming but becomes more efficient as it progresses. In such cases, the scheduler could severely penalize the query, leading to it being unfairly deprioritized.
