Changelog for version 5.8.0#

Released 07 May 2025#

Gravwell#

Additions#

Improvements#

  • Improved restart times for smoother upgrades.

  • Improved webserver-indexer challenge response authentication.

  • Improved query abort logic and signaling.

  • Improved startup and shutdown handler to make early aborts safer and easier to unwind.

  • Improved Flows so that branches execute independently and a failure on one branch will not cause the whole flow to stop.

  • Improved Throttle flow node to accept duration variables generated at runtime by other nodes such as the Javascript node or the Text Template node.

Bug Fixes#

  • Fixed the Teams flow node to use new Azure workflow instead of deprecated webhook.

  • Fixed an edge case where a combination of zooming and configuring an extractor would cause the wrong entry to be displayed in Data Explorer.

  • Fixed an issue where the transaction module size tracker failed to decrement after an entry was evicted.

  • Fixed an issue where compressing small messages caused indexers to run out of memory.

  • Fixed an issue where webserver clients were too aggressive about discarding slow indexers and engaging replication.

  • Fixed an issue with hot and cold cumulative ageouts.

Ingester Changes#

Additions#

  • Implemented user-specifiable validity windows in timegrinder. Any timestamps found outside those windows will be ignored.
