March 12, 2025

Breaking Changes

The definition of the df_alert_info field in Events has been adjusted. A new reason for unmatched alert strategies has been added. It is still necessary to filter and determine the actual notification targets for external sending through isIgnored.

Feature Updates

Incident Management

  1. Added an Incident Management entry point. Through this entry, the currently logged-in user can view and manage the status of all joined workspace incidents.
  2. Optimized the display of the Channel List on the Incident page, improving query efficiency when there are too many channels.

Management

  1. Cloud Account Management: Added a new Alibaba Cloud account authorization type.
  2. API Key Management: Added permission control functionality for API Keys, supporting role-based authorization. Through role-based authorization, API Keys have operational permissions only within the scope of the role, effectively reducing security risks.
  3. Data Forwarding: The default interaction has been changed to unselected rules.

AI Error Analysis

The following detail pages have added AI Error Analysis capabilities:

  • error logs
  • APM > Trace/Error Tracking

Use Cases

  1. Scheduled Reports:
  2. Added Webhook as a notification method;

  3. Supported sharing dashboard images to WeCom/DingTalk.

  4. Time Series Graphs: After selecting Area Chart as the chart type, a new Stacked Mode style has been added, facilitating observation of cumulative overall data effects.

APM

Traces: Support batch export in JSONL format.

RUM

User Analysis > Funnel Analysis: Session lists queried support the session replay function.

Logs

  1. Explorer:
  2. Log Explorer > Index Quick Filter: Improved display effect in the search bar;
  3. Log Details > Extended Fields: Added "Dimensional Analysis" mode.
  4. Index: Supports setting exclusive Key Fields under index dimensions.

Explorer Time Widget

Left-side time range selection and right-side refresh frequency are independent. Only two scenarios affect the refresh frequency:

  • Selected time range exceeds 1h
  • Selected time is absolute time

Infrastructure

HOST: Explorer supports adjusting the time range.

Pipeline

  1. Configuration page display optimization;
  2. Added "Event" as a Pipeline processing type;
  3. Test samples support obtaining JSON format.
  4. Filtering Conditions > Synthetic Tests: Support selecting multi-step tests.

Deployment Plan Update

Template Management: Supports uploading all explorer templates.

New Integrations

Bug Fixes

  1. Fixed the issue where exporting log stream diagrams to CSV had no response.
  2. Fixed the issue where after adding relevant filters to time series graphs with ddtrace-collected JVM metrics (runtime-id field), no data was displayed.
  3. Fixed the issue with the custom gradient interval color scale interface.
  4. Fixed the issue where after editing DQL queries and selecting >0 for filtering conditions, the display would be empty upon saving and re-editing.
  5. Fixed the issue where infrastructure table graphs in Application Performance Monitoring displayed abnormally.
  6. Fixed the issue where after setting data forwarding storage duration to 1,800 days in the management backend, front-end forwarding rules were unsupported.
  7. Fixed the issue where executing quick queries show_object_field('HOST') resulted in the error "kodo service API request error: Service Unavailable".
  8. Fixed existing bugs in quick entries.
  9. Fixed the issue where session and view had no data while other resources and actions had data in RUM.
  10. Fixed the issue where creating multi-step test requests immediately validated required fields.
  11. Fixed the issue where filtering conditions did not take effect when setting role authorizations for data access.

Feature Updates

Logs

  1. Log Index Optimization:

Both tabs support multi-selection of indices. Additionally, when cross-workspace querying is enabled and authorized workspaces are selected in the menu, it is possible to directly query index data from the corresponding workspace here. Ultimately, this helps users fully view associated log data on one page, optimizing log query interactions.
  3. When listing log indices, except for default being displayed at the top, the remaining log indices are listed in alphabetical order from A-Z.
  4. Log Explorer Added Stacked View Mode: In stacked mode, fields will be consolidated in the same column and presented in rows within cells. Log information is displayed more compactly and clearly, making it easier for users to quickly browse and analyze.
