Update Log (2021)¶

This document records the update content description of each online release of Guance, including DataKit, Guance best practices, Guance integration documentation, and Guance.

December 30, 2021¶

Optimization of binding built-in views¶

"Guance" supports associating built-in views with different link services, applications, log sources, projects, etc., by binding fields. According to the bound fields, you can view the associated built-in views (system views, user views) on the corresponding Explorer detail pages. Supported Explorers include custom scene Explorers, infrastructure, logs, links, user access, security checks, availability, etc.

Optimization of log Explorer¶

• In the log Explorer, the left source list is expanded by default when logging in for the first time and can be manually collapsed. The Explorer will remember the last state by default.
• In the log Explorer, click the settings button on the left to manually add filter fields for quick filtering.
• In the log data list, you can use "hovering the mouse" over the log content to expand and view all the log content. Clicking the "copy" button copies the entire log content to the clipboard. When expanding, if possible, the system will format the log JSON; otherwise, it displays the log content normally.

Optimization of associated display on Explorer detail pages¶

The associated display on the log, infrastructure, link, security check Explorer detail pages has been optimized. This includes associated queries for hosts, metrics, links, containers, logs, Pods, etc. Two types of associated displays are supported: fixed display and non-fixed display (which requires displaying based on whether the associated field is included).

Take the log Explorer detail page's associated host as an example. The associated fields are "host", and in the log details, you need to match the "host" field to view related hosts; otherwise, you cannot see the related host page in the log details. After matching the fields, you can view the basic information and metric performance status of the host under the associated host.

• Attribute view: includes basic host information, integration operation status. If cloud host collection is enabled, you can also view cloud vendor information.

• Metric view: You can view the performance metric views of related hosts within the default 15 minutes. Click "Open this view" to go to the built-in view, where you can customize and modify the host view via cloning and save it as a user view. The user view can be viewed by binding it on the log detail page.

Optimization of snapshot sharing¶

Snapshot sharing supports hiding the top bar of the shared page. In the snapshot list, click the share button, and in the pop-up dialog box, you can set advanced options like "hide the top bar".

Optimization of chart query result showing thousand separators¶

Guance dashboard chart query results support automatically adding thousand separators to the data display. If a unit is set, the data format will follow the set unit, and after setting, you can preview the result.

Other optimization features¶

• Optimized performance of the host network topology diagram query, added target domain name display in the network topology diagram node. That is, if the target host is not in the current workspace but the target domain name exists and the port of the target domain name is less than 10000, then the target domain name will be displayed in the topology diagram.
• Optimized logic for pinning favorite dashboards and notes:
• Unfavorited dashboards are sorted in reverse order of creation time
• Favorited dashboards are sorted in reverse order of favoriting time
• Favorited dashboards are displayed above unfavorited dashboards
• Optimized cascading query logic for view variables, i.e., when two variables are linked, selecting * in the previous one does not filter the linked variable, showing all value options.
• Added help documentation links to the collapsed navigation bar on the left.

December 16, 2021¶

New similarity metric query for time series charts¶

In analysis mode of the time series chart, you can select "chart query" as trend lines/columns for metric queries and view similar trend metrics. By selecting an absolute time range, you can query similar metric trends within that space.

New associated data statistics display on Explorer detail pages¶

Added data volume statistics for related logs, links, containers, etc., in the Explorer detail pages. These statistics can be directly obtained in the tab titles of the Explorer detail pages, including infrastructure, logs, application performance, user access, security checks, etc.

New export function for Explorer charts¶

Guance supports exporting any chart from the Guance space Explorer to a dashboard, note, or clipboard.

New Explorer search match¶

Guance supports wildcard searches in the Explorer search bar using formats like "host:cc*", which can be used for filtering log data of hosts with names starting similarly. Additionally, a "delete" button has been added on the right side of the Explorer search bar to support one-click deletion of entered text.

Optimization of log Explorer and log-related data query¶

• Through the "container" below the log details page in "Guance", you can view all container (CONTAINERS) data related to the log's host within the last ten minutes.
• Logs related to trace and container data support filtering by "trace_id" or "host".
• Log details content supports two viewing modes: Json and text, automatically displaying format based on the message type.
• Through approximate text Explorer, you can view the details of associated logs after Pattern clustering.
• Hover tips for log Explorer have removed colors.

Optimization of silence strategy, supporting setting silence for monitoring rules¶

Guance allows users to manage all silence rules for the current space through "Silence Management" in the "Monitoring" feature. "Guance" provides three types of silences: host silence, monitor silence, and group silence, supporting silence management for different hosts, monitors, and groups, ensuring that silent objects do not send alarm notifications to any notification targets during the silence period.

Optimization of monitor management¶

Duplicate monitors in the monitor list may affect users' quick location of monitoring objects. "Guance" supports choosing whether to create duplicate monitors from templates. Users can also customize the export/deletion of monitors through the newly added "Batch Management" tool.

Optimization of view variable query display¶

• Default values have been added to dashboard view variables, allowing previews of all variables in the current view variable and selection of initial variables to be viewed by default on the dashboard.
• Dragging view variables with mouse hover (hover) to adjust their order is supported.
• Removed the "Settings" button for view variables, allowing direct use of "Sorting", "Hiding", and "Deleting" functions in the view variable list.

Optimization of locked time settings for dashboards and notes¶

Guance supports adding "More" options to customize locked time ranges for locked time settings on dashboards and notes. After this optimization, the locked time component and chart component functions remain consistent.

Optimization of Help Center entry¶

In the Guance Help Center, you can quickly view product documentation, product updates, blogs, live review sessions, and more. You can also join our official service group by scanning a code.

December 2, 2021¶

New owner member role¶

Guance has added an owner role for the current workspace. Currently, four workspace member permissions are supported, including "owner", "administrator", "standard member", and "read-only member", respectively constraining the management, configuration, operation, and viewing permissions of different member categories. The "owner" role has the highest operation permission, able to designate the "administrator" for the current space and perform any management, configuration, operation, and data browsing. In Guance workspace's "Manage"-"Member Management"-"Edit", you can edit and update member permissions.

"Guance" provides a quick-to-build Explorer based on the log data range in the scene, supporting space members to jointly build Explorers based on custom scenes and customized viewing needs. Completed "Explorers" can be exported and shared with others, sharing the Explorer template.

New export of user view to dashboard¶

"Guance" supports exporting user-created views from the "Built-in View" to a JSON file, which can be used for importing scenarios or built-in views into different workspaces.

Optimization of host network observability, new network flow data view list¶

"Guance" supports displaying different visual charts based on selected protocols in the "Network" section of the "Host" details page in the infrastructure section, and customizing the display fields of the network flow data list.

By clicking "View Network Flow Data", you can view network flow data from the last two days by default, including time, source IP/port, destination IP/port, source host, transmission direction, protocol, bytes sent, etc. Custom display fields or adding filter conditions are supported, filtering all string-type keyword fields.

New sourcemap feature¶

When releasing applications in production environments, to prevent issues such as code leakage, files are generally transformed and compressed during packaging processes. Although these measures ensure code security, they also result in error stack information being obfuscated, making it difficult to directly locate problems, complicating subsequent Bug troubleshooting.

To address these issues, "Guance" provides sourcemap functionality for web applications, enabling the deobfuscation of code for easier error identification and faster problem resolution.

New security inspection data analysis for host association¶

"Guance" supports viewing security inspection data related to the host within the past day and performing keyword searches, multi-tag filtering, and data sorting on these security inspection data.
