Bug fixes and updates

Advance Warning

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

Deprecation

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

  • The GraphQL field meta has been deprecated and now requires authentication. It will be completely removed in LogScale 1.304. To achieve similar results, use the loginInfo and clusterConfig fields instead.

    To temporarily opt out of the authentication requirement, the feature flag UnauthenticatedMeta can be enabled.

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

Upgrades

Changes that may occur or be required during an upgrade.

  • Security

    • The following dependencies have been updated to address multiple CVEs:

      • org.xerial.snappy:snappy-java updated to version 1.1.10.10.

      • org.bouncycastle:bc-jdk18on-bom updated to version 1.86.1.

New features and improvements

Fixed in this release

  • Security

    • An issue has been fixed where the organization permission CreateRepository incorrectly allowed users to change retention on all repositories in the organization.

      The new organization permission ChangeRetentionForAllRepositories grants the ability to change retention policies on all repositories in the organization. Users who previously relied on CreateRepository for access should be assigned this new permission instead.

  • Storage

    • An additional fix has been applied to the previous issue of segments not being fully skipped when hash filters indicated no search work was needed, causing segment metadata to be loaded and discarded unnecessarily.

  • Queries

    • An issue has been fixed where tag distinction for persisted aggregations was checked across the entire organization instead of within the destination repository. Tags are now constrained based on the destination repository.

    • An issue has been fixed where deleting a persisted aggregation did not remove its results from the destination repository. If a persisted aggregation with the same tag was created again, the data was written to the same location, combining the old results with the new results.

      Results are now removed from the destination repository after a persisted aggregation is deleted, and results that arrive afterward are no longer retained.

    • An issue has been fixed with connection changes in multi-cluster search views for already running queries. New and updated connections on remote views would not check the connection tags filter, resulting in unnecessary query submissions and network calls between clusters, even though the query results were still correct.

    • An issue has been fixed where federated queries and queries referencing tables were not stopped correctly in some scenarios.

  • Fleet Management

  • Functions

    • An error message regression has been fixed where invalid regular expressions passed as a string to the regex() function or the regex argument of the replace() function could produce an internal validation error when passed to the parser's default regex engine (JitRex, also known as V1 engine).

    • Including the same field more than once when using the function defineTable() now returns an error at time of submission rather than causing the query to fail with an internal error.

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

  • GraphQL API

    • The GraphQL datatype ScheduledReport now exposes the field createdInfo, which contains structured creation metadata. Data points include author and timestamp, which is consistent with other asset types such as filter alerts, dashboards, and parsers.

      The existing fields createdBy and creationDate are now deprecated and will be removed in version 1.306. Migration to the createdInfo field is recommended, as it provides richer author information (user, token, and/or system) alongside the creation timestamp.

      Existing scheduled reports are automatically migrated, no action is required.

  • Auditing and Monitoring

    • Audit log entries for creating, updating, deleting, enabling, and disabling a scheduled report now include the following additional fields:

      • viewId

      • viewName

      • scheduledReportId

      • scheduledReportName

      The previously included field dashboardId remains available. Existing searches and dashboards involving these audit log entries continue to work, and can now filter and group by report and view.
