Deprecation of Legacy Ingest Budgets V1 – Action Required by September 9, 2024 (Manage)

icon

In November 2020, we introduced Ingest Budgets V2, offering greater flexibility and granularity in metadata and fields within the ingest budget definition. Despite this update, existing V1 budgets continued to function as originally defined while only allowing V2 budgets for all new configurations going forward.

V1 Ingest Budgets are deprecated, and On September 9. 2024, Sumo Logic will remove the existing V1 Ingest Budgets that remain defined in customer instances.

To ensure uninterrupted service, review your current ingest budgets under Ingest Budgets. Identify any budgets tagged as V1 and, if still needed, edit and upgrade them to V2 before the deprecation date.

note

After September 9, 2024, any legacy ingest budgets that are not migrated will be automatically removed, resulting in the loss of ingestion limitation functionality.

Improved Data Handling for Window and Threshold-Based SLOs (Observability)

icon

We are happy to introduce a new update for handling missing data in window and threshold-based Service Level Objectives (SLOs). Previously, any window without data was treated as successful, and the threshold condition check was skipped. With this update, for windows without data, the threshold will be compared against zero to determine their success or failure.

This change simplifies expressing SLOs where missing data signifies unsuccessful windows. For example, consider an SLO definition where absence of heartbeat log messages signifies an unsuccessful window. Previously, such windows were treated as successful by default. With this update, modeling such cases will become much easier and more accurate.

Sumo Logic AWS Lambda Extension v8 (Collection)

icon

We're excited to announce the release of Sumo Logic AWS Lambda Extension version 8. Here are the key features that this upgrade provides:

  • Improved the support for AWS KMS encrypted SUMOLOGIC_HTTP_ENDPOINT, including the introduction of new KMS_KEY_ID and KMS_CACHE_SECONDS environment variables.
  • Introduced three new environment variables TELEMETRY_MAX_BYTES, TELEMETRY_MAX_ITEMS, and TELEMETRY_TIMEOUT_MS, which helps you to reduce the ingestion delay based on log volume.
  • Upgraded Golang to version 1.22 to resolve 20+ security vulnerabilities.

To learn more, refer to our Lambda extensions changelog.

View Connections Role Capability (Manage)

icon

As part of our on-going product security improvements, we have introduced the View Connections role capability. This role capability allows a user to view or change webhook and ServiceNow connections associated with a Scheduled Search or a monitor.

Starting June 24, 2024, new Scheduled Searches or monitors configured with Webhook or ServiceNow notification channels can only be viewed or assigned to those connections by users with the View Connections role capability.

Prior to June 24, 2024, assign the View Connections role capability to users where appropriate. After this date, users who do not have this role capability assigned will no longer be able to configure a Scheduled Search or monitor with a webhook target.

For information about how to configure webhook and ServiceNow connections, see Set Up Webhook Connections.

Disallow Weak Passwords (Manage)

icon

We are happy to announce a new Disallow weak passwords option in our password policy settings. When this option is enabled, users will not be able to save a password if Sumo Logic determines it is weak. For example, a password is considered weak if it is:

  • Obtained from previous breaches.
  • A dictionary word.
  • Contains repetitive or sequential characters, for example, ‘aaaaaa’, ‘1234abcd’.
  • Contains context-specific words, such as the name of the service or the username.

Classic Metrics Deprecation and Removal (Metrics)

icon

In January 2024, we deprecated Classic Metrics in favor of our newer Metrics Explorer interface. Effective today, Sumo Logic has removed the ability to use Classic Metrics in Sumo Logic.

  • The Switch to Classic UI option is removed from the user interface and you can no longer switch to Classic Metrics.
  • Any saved Classic Metrics queries are disabled and must be recreated with Metric Explorer.

Metrics Explorer represents an advanced solution tailored to meet all metric-related requirements. It surpasses Classic Metrics in functionality, making it redundant to continue supporting both systems.

For information, see Metrics Explorer.

Deprecation Notice - Real-Time Scheduled Searches (Alerts)

icon

As part of our ongoing evaluation of the Sumo Logic service, we have decided to deprecate Real-Time Scheduled Searches. In particular, we will remove the option to create new Real-Time Scheduled Searches on May 15, 2024. Existing Real-Time Scheduled Searches will continue to function until May 15, 2025. We believe many use cases for Real-Time Scheduled Searches can be met by Monitors. Any remaining use cases can be met by executing these searches at 15m intervals.

In 2020, Sumo Logic released Monitors, which provided a new framework to trigger alerts on both metrics and log data in real time and send notifications. Real-Time Scheduled Searches provided a much more limited version of this functionality. Monitors will continue to be the focus area for our Product and Engineering Teams for features and enhancements regarding alerting.

Azure Event Hubs Source for Logs (Collection)

icon

We're excited to announce the release of our new Azure Event Hubs source for logs collection. This integration with Azure Event Hubs provides you with a fully managed, scalable, and low latency solution to stream high-volume logs from Azure to Sumo Logic. Learn more.

Index Aliasing for Search Queries

icon

We're excited to introduce the ability to reference Sumo Logic system indexes with an alias. With this update, you can now use an alias to point to one or more system indexes in the source expression of your search queries.

How it works

With index aliasing, you can use an alias to point to one or more system indexes, such as sumologic_default in the source expression of your query. Both the operator part and results of your query will consist of actual index names.

In addition to sumologic_default, we have several other Sumo Logic-defined system indexes. As a shortcut, rather than prefacing sumologic_ when referencing system indexes in a search, you can alias these indexes by typing an underscore at the beginning. For example, sumologic_default and _default will return the same results. 

Learn more here.

NOTE: This feature is currently live in all deployments except us2 and prod. It will be rolled out to those deployments by April 2.

Dashboard Enhancements - Crosshair and Time Syncing (Dashboards)

icon

We are excited to announce a new set of changes to enhance the readability within the dashboard panels. With these updates, you'll have more control over time ranges, making it easier to investigate specific periods of interest and analyze data effectively. Here's what's included in this update:

  • Crosshair. When you hover over a time series panel, Sumo Logic now displays a crosshair line with the time series data. If other time series panels are also configured with an overlapping time range, then when you hover over one time panel, a crosshair will be displayed on the other panels as well. Learn more.

  • Time Syncing. Using panel zoom feature you can now modify the time range of the dashboard to zoom in for granular details. This time range is considered as a temporary time range and all the other panels in the dashboard will be zoomed in for the selected time range. Learn more.

Active Directory App Update (Apps)

icon

We're excited to announce an update for the Active Directory JSON - OpenTelemetry application to enhance efficiency and data collection. We are updating the sumo.datasource value from Active Directory to Windows. This change addresses the double data ingestion issue that occurs for customers who have installed both Active Directory and Windows apps and set up separate OpenTelemetry collections for each.

note

Data collected before the upgrade will not be visible in the Active Directory application.

If you have only the Active Directory JSON - OpenTelemetry app installed and decided to upgrade it, you will need to update your collection configuration according to the instructions below.

  1. Open the configuration file located in C:\ProgramData\Sumo Logic\OpenTelemetry Collector\config\conf.d.
  2. Update the following attributes:
    • key: sumo.datasource
    • value: windows
    • action: insert
  3. Restart the collector by using the following PowerShell command Restart-Service -Name OtelcolSumo.

If you have both the Windows - OpenTelemetry and Active Directory JSON - OpenTelemetry apps installed, you should remove the Active Directory OTEL YAML configuration from your machine to prevent double data ingestion. When upgrading the Active Directory app, there's no need to set up a new collection.

No changes are required if you only have Windows - OpenTelemetry installed.
