Release Notes (2021)¶

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

December 30, 2021¶

Optimized Binding to Built-in Views¶

“Guance” supports binding built-in views with different trace services, applications, log sources, projects, etc., by associating 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 scenario custom Explorers, infrastructure, logs, traces, user access, security checks, availability, etc.

Optimized Log Explorer¶

In the Log Explorer, the left-side source list is expanded by default upon first login and can be manually collapsed; the Explorer will remember the last state by default.
In the Log Explorer, clicking the settings button on the left allows you to manually add filter fields for quick filtering.
In the log data list, you can use "hover" over the log content to expand and view the entire log content. Clicking the "copy" button copies the entire log content to the clipboard. When expanded, if possible, the system formats the log in JSON format; otherwise, it displays the log content normally.

Optimized Associated Display on Explorer Detail Pages¶

The associated display on the detail pages of the Log, Infrastructure, Trace, Security Check Explorers has been optimized. This includes related queries for HOSTs, Metrics, Traces, CONTAINERS, Pods, etc., supporting two types of associated displays: fixed display and non-fixed display (displayed based on whether the associated field is included).

Taking the Log Explorer detail page's association with HOSTs as an example, the associated fields are “host”. To view related hosts in the log details, the field “host” needs to match; otherwise, it won’t be possible to see related host pages in the log details. After matching the fields, under the associated hosts, you can view basic information about the host and its metric performance status.

Attribute View: Includes basic information about the host, integration running conditions, and if cloud host collection is enabled, you can also view cloud vendor information.
Metric View: You can view the performance metric views of the related host 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 through cloning and save it as a user view, which can then be viewed by binding it to the log details page.

Snapshot sharing supports hiding the top bar on the share page. In the snapshot list, click the share button, and you can set advanced settings like "Hide Top Bar" in the pop-up dialog box.

Optimized Chart Query Result Showing Thousands Separator¶

Guance dashboard chart query results support automatically adding a thousands separator format. If a unit is set, the data format will follow the set unit, and after setting, you can preview the result in real-time.

Other Optimized Features¶

Improved performance of host network topology queries, added target domain display in network topology nodes. That is, if the target host is not in the current workspace but the target domain exists and the port number of the target domain is less than 10,000, the target domain will be displayed in the topology map.
Improved logic for pinning favorite dashboards and notes:
Unfavorited dashboards are sorted in reverse chronological order based on creation time
Favorited dashboards are sorted in reverse chronological order based on favoriting time
Favorited dashboards are displayed above unfavorited dashboards
Improved cascading query logic for view variables, i.e., when querying two linked variables, if the previous selection is *, the linked variable does not filter, showing all value options.
Added help documentation links to the collapsed navigation bar on the left.

December 16, 2021¶

Added Similarity Metric Queries for Time Series Graphs¶

Added statistics display for related logs, traces, containers, etc., on Explorer detail pages. Supports directly obtaining statistics for related data in the tab title of the Explorer detail page, including infrastructure, logs, application performance, user access, security checks, etc.

Added Export Function for Explorer Charts¶

Guance supports exporting any chart from the "Guance" space Explorer to dashboards, notes, or clipboard.

Added Match Search in Explorer¶

Guance supports wildcard searches in the Explorer search bar using formats like "host:cc*" for fields such as hostname. This can be used for filtering log data of hosts whose names start similarly. Additionally, a "delete" button has been added to the right side of the Explorer search bar for one-click text deletion.

Through the "Containers" section below the log details page in "Guance", you can view all container (CONTAINER) data related to the log host within the last ten minutes.
Logs details page supports filtering related link and container data using "trace_id" or "host".
The content display on the log details page supports two viewing modes: JSON and Text, automatically displaying formats based on message type.
Through the similar-text viewer, you can view detailed logs associated with Pattern clustering.
Removed color tooltips for hover actions in the Log Explorer.

Optimized Mute Policies, Supporting Mute Settings for Monitors¶

Guance supports users managing all mute rules in the current space through "Mute Management" in the "Monitoring" feature. Guance provides three types of mute: HOST mute, monitor mute, group mute, allowing mute management for different HOSTs, monitors, groups, ensuring that no alert notifications are sent to any notification targets during the mute period.

Optimized Monitor Management¶

Duplicate monitors in the monitor list can affect users' quick location of monitoring objects. "Guance" supports choosing whether to create duplicate monitors from templates. Additionally, users can use the new "Batch Management" tool to customize export/deletion of monitors.

Optimized Query Display for View Variables¶

Default values have been added to dashboard view variables, allowing previews of all variables in the current view and selecting initial variables to view by default on the dashboard.
Supports adjusting the order of view variables via drag-and-drop using mouse hover (hover).
Removed the "Settings" button for view variables, enabling "Sorting," "Hiding," and "Deleting" functions directly in the view variable list.

Optimized Lock Time Setting for Dashboards and Notes Charts¶

Guance supports adding a "More" option in the lock time setting for charts on dashboards and notes to customize the locked time range. After this optimization, the functionality of the lock time component and chart component remains consistent.

Optimized Help Center Page Entry¶

In Guance Help Center, you can quickly view product documentation, updates, blogs, live reviews, and other information. You can also join the official service group of Guance via QR code scanning.

December 2, 2021¶

Added Owner Member Role¶

Guance added the owner role for the current workspace, currently supporting the definition of four workspace member permissions, including "Owner," "Administrator," "Standard Member," and "Read-only Member." These constrain the management permissions, configuration permissions, operation permissions, and viewing permissions for different member categories respectively. The "Owner" role has the highest operational permissions and can designate "Administrators" for the current space and perform arbitrary management, configuration, operations, and data browsing. In Guance workspace's 「Management」-「Member Management」-「Edit」, you can edit and update member permissions.

Added View Variable Object Mapping¶

When using 「Object Mapping」, you must first define a view variable based on object class fields. After configuring object mapping in 「View Variables」, you need to use the mapped tag field as a grouping in 「Chart Query」 and enable 「Field Mapping」 in 「Chart Settings」. Then, you can view the set object mapping display in the view chart.

Optimized Event Grouping¶

DataFlux supports grouping 「Anomaly Events」 according to 「Detection Items」 to aggregate related events. Clicking 「Aggregate Events」 allows you to quickly view associated event lists, abnormal event status distributions across different hosts, and metric monitoring. Abnormal event status distributions include critial, error, warning, ok, and Mute, corresponding to five status colors. The bottom color is green, filling backward from the event occurrence time point with corresponding status colors. The fill range corresponds to the detection frequency. If the group contains host and host muting is set, the muted time range displays as gray.

Optimized Detection Item Queries¶

In the 「Anomaly Detection Library」, the 「Detection Rules」's 「Detection Indicators」 only allow adding one query by default, supporting switching between Simple Query and 「Expression Query」. Uniformly changed the 「Trigger Conditions」 M1 in the 「Detection Rules」 to Result; supports adding AS aliases to queries.
