Bug fixes and updates

Advance Warning

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

  • Installation and Deployment

    • We are decommissioning the the Nexus server used to host Java-based LogScale installation binaries, with a tentative decommission date of August 14, 2026. To download Java-based LogScale installers, please send a request to logscalesuccess@crowdstrike.com to obtain a username & API token, which are required to download from our new distribution platform.

  • Documentation

    • Our documentation homepage, functionality, and content will undergo a series of improvements before the end of August 2026. As the volume of content on the site has grown significantly, we recognize that finding the right information can be challenging. These changes are designed to improve navigation, make content easier to find, and provide clearer distinctions between content areas.

      Functionality and Navigation

      • New Default Homepage โ€” Improved navigation and organization to help you find information more quickly. The existing legacy homepage will remain available.

      • Curated Content Pages โ€” Topic-specific pages that provide key resources tailored to different areas of the documentation. Each page includes:

        • Search scoped to that specific content area

        • Highlights of new and recently updated pages

      • Guided Workflow Pages โ€” Step-by-step, page-by-page guides to help you learn about specific areas of LogScale.

      • Bookmark Groups โ€” Organize bookmarks into custom groups to create your own categorized link collections.

      • Page Watching and Notifications โ€” Monitor pages and content for changes, so you're always aware of updates to the content you use most.

      • Custom Homepage โ€” Set a Curated Content page as your homepage, so visiting library.humio.com takes you directly to your preferred content area.

      Content Improvements

      • New CrowdStrike Query Language (CQL) Manual โ€” A standalone manual covering:

        • Query structure and execution context

        • Internal data representation

        • Datatypes used in queries and functions

        • Function types, input and output values, and related functions

        • Common query patterns organized by use case and challenge

        • Guides for translating SQL to CQL

      • New Getting Data Out Manual โ€” Covers the different ways to extract information from LogScale, including APIs, the search interface, dashboards, and automation.

      • New Getting Data In Manual โ€” Covers the methods, tools, and integrations available for ingesting data into LogScale.

      • New Administration Manuals โ€” Separate, dedicated manuals for Self-Hosted and Cloud customers.

      We will provide updates as each improvement becomes available โ€” we welcome your feedback as the changes roll out.

  • API

    • Starting in version 1.258, the queryjobs endpoint will always use pagination, even when no pagination arguments have been given. When no arguments are provided, the endpoint will return the maximum page size and an offset of 0. Unless the dynamic configuration parameter QueryResultRowCountLimit has been raised from its default value, this will initially be the entire result.

      All clients should begin transitioning to use the paginated polling method ahead of version 1.258.

Deprecation

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

  • The userId parameter for the updateDashboardToken GraphQL mutation has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.273.

Behavior Changes

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

  • GraphQL API

    • After an organization is soft deleted using the removeOrganization mutation, you can now only call the following mutations on that organization:

      Previously, you could call any mutation on a soft-deleted organization.

Fixed in this release

  • Security

    • The constraint that required email domains to be unique has been removed for Identify Provider (IDP) configurations on clusters that use URL subdomains. SAML no longer requires unique domains in Distributed Cluster (DC) configurations.

  • GraphQL API

    • The GraphQL endpoint analyzeQuery() has been updated to include a revised error recovery strategy that allows it to stop earlier when encountering an error. In cases of multiple errors, fewer error reports may be observed as a result. Behavior for successfully executed cases remains unaffected.

  • Storage

    • Fixed an issue in bucket storage download code that could cause unnecessary segment downloads that were already present locally when those segments did not have auxiliary files associated with them.

  • API

    • Fixed an issue where the update process for lookup files via the Lookup API /files endpoint would clear any labels added to the file. Labels, key columns, and watermark information are now correctly preserved when patching a file.

  • Ingestion

    • Fixed an issue where a parser error was causing field-operator expressions to be parsed incorrectly within filter contexts. These expressions were incorrectly handled in cases where they appeared parenthetically or when located on the left side of or/and expressions, such as code=~ /5../ or error=true.

  • Queries

    • Fixed an issue where queries with large join() subquery results could cause the node to crash during query submission from the query coordinator to worker nodes.

  • Metrics and Monitoring

    • Fixed an issue where the log field percentageOfMappingTimeSpentThrottledDueToQueryPermits would sometimes return a value of NaN (Not a Number) due to a potential division by zero.

Known Issues

  • Storage

    • For clusters using secondary storage where the primary storage on some nodes in the cluster may be getting filled (that is, the storage usage on the primary disk is halfway between PRIMARY_STORAGE_PERCENTAGE and PRIMARY_STORAGE_MAX_FILL_PERCENTAGE), those nodes may fail to transfer segments from other nodes. The failure will be indicated by the error java.nio.file.AtomicMoveNotSupportedException with message "Invalid cross-device link".

      This does not corrupt data or cause data loss, but will prevent the cluster from being fully healthy, and could also prevent data from reaching adequate replication.

Improvement

  • Security

    • Token-based request performance has been improved by caching computed permission assignments on a per-request basis instead of recomputing them with every permission check. Additional performance improvements have also been made for verification checks that confirm whether any kind of permissions exist on read-only token requests.

    • The creation of certain permission assignment sets has been optimized to avoid continual re-enlargement.

  • API

    • The GET /api/v1/bucket-storage-target API has been updated to return the count of bale lookup files using the field baleLookupFilesUsingBucket for each bucket entity.

  • Ingestion

    • In order to improve efficiency, the process of writing lookup files and table structures to CSV has been adjusted to serialize data in increments of 64 MB. This allows the system to retain only a portion of serialized data in memory at any one time.

  • Queries

    • A limit has been introduced for the number of saved query expansions allowed during query submission. Queries that attempt to expand more saved queries than the configured limit will be rejected.

  • Fleet Management

    • Multiple improvements have been made to the Fleet Management groups dialog:

      • Column selection has been introduced for the collectors table.

      • OS and Collector ID columns have been added to the collectors table.

      • The non-queryable platform field has been removed from the help text.

  • Metrics and Monitoring

    • Query cost metrics have been extended to include the new category resultPostProcess, which is now included in the total query cost.

      As a result, the total reported cost will be negligibly higher compared to previous versions.
