Breaking Changes

The df_meta within Events will no longer retain alert_info related information. Users who previously relied on this information to obtain notification targets should switch to using the newly added df_alert_info (event alert notifications), df_is_silent (whether muted), and df_sent_target_types (event notification object types) fields to achieve the corresponding functionality.

Possible affected scenarios:

  1. Custom use cases for interfacing events with external systems via OpenAPI
  2. Custom use cases for forwarding events to external systems via Webhook notifications

Feature Updates

Logs

  1. Log Index Optimization:

Both tabs support multi-selection of indices. Additionally, after enabling cross-workspace queries and selecting authorized workspaces in the menu, it supports directly querying index data from the corresponding workspace. This helps users view associated log data on a single page, optimizing log query interaction.
    • When listing log indices, except for default being top-priority, the rest are listed alphabetically from A-Z.
  2. Log Viewer added Stacking View Mode: Fields are consolidated into a single column and presented as rows within cells. Log information is displayed more compactly and clearly, facilitating quick browsing and analysis.
  3. Log Pipeline Optimization: Test samples for log pipelines now retrieve all log fields and must be entered in line protocol format. Manually entered logs must also follow this format.

Use Cases

  1. Table Chart Optimization:
    • Multi-metric query sorting support: When using a single DQL for multi-metric queries, table charts now support sorting.
