The HEC ingest endpoint will no longer implicitly parse logs using the built-in kv parser. Previously, a log ingested using this endpoint would implicitly be parsed with the kv parser when the supplied event field was given as a string. For instance, this log:

json
{
  "time": 1537537729.0,
  "event": "Fri, 21 Sep 2018 13:48:49 GMT - system started name=webserver",
  "source": "/var/log/application.log",
  "sourcetype": "applog",
  "fields": { "#env": "prod" }
}

Would be parsed, so that the resulting Humio event would contain the field name=webserver.

If you don't wish this behavior to change, you will have to perform this parsing operation explicitly.

When ingesting into the HEC endpoint, you are using an ingest token to authenticate with Humio. If that token does not have an associated parser, all you need to do is assign the kv parser to the token.

If your ingest token already has an assigned parser, you will need to prepend the code of that parser with this code snippet:

kvParse(@rawstring) | findTimestamp(addErrors=false) |

Dark Mode is a new visual theme throughout Humio (except some settings pages) that is tailored to offer great readability in dark environments, to not brighten the entire room when used on dashboards, and offer a unique visual style that some users prefer simply for its aesthetics. In 1.25 users are going to see a modal dialogue that asks what mode users would like to have; dark mode, light mode or follow the OS theme. This setting can later be changed in the settings menu.

Fixed in this release

Known Issues

  • Other

    • A regression can cause 1.26.0 to repeatedly error log and fail to start queries in cases where the list of hosts in the cluster is not fixed. This is particularly likely to affect clusters running with ephemeral disks. The regression is fixed in 1.26.1.
