This is an archive of the 2022 Sumo Logic Service Release Notes.

December 29, 2022 (Real User Monitoring)​

New - We've added a new Real User Monitoring script property, getOverriddenServiceName, that allows you to set up a service name dynamically and override the service name of a span during its creation.

You can use getOverriddenServiceName to create different services for different sub-parts of your website. For example, you could create unique service names for micro-frontends. Learn more.

December 22, 2022 (CircleCI Job Analytics)​

New - You can now report CircleCI job analytics to your Sumo Logic dashboard using our new job-collector command, which sends environment, team, and service information at the job level.

Add this command to your job with the environment, team, or service custom-data values as parameters. This command will run with the rest of the job's commands for sending the job log.

note

Not including this command at the job level will send empty custom-data values to Sumo.

To learn more, refer to the Sumo Logic orb repo.

December 14, 2022 (Traces)​

New - Trace duration breakdown chart dashboard support is now available.

On the Trace page, you can now add the trace duration breakdown chart to the dashboard. Use the Traces panel and change the chart type to "Breakdown Chart" in the dropdown of Visual settings.

December 5, 2022 (Metrics)​

New - We’ve released a new chart type for metrics queries. The funnel chart is useful for visualizing the status of a process with sequential steps. For more information, see Create a Funnel Chart.

December 2, 2022 (Reliability Management)​

New - AWS ELB users can now install Sumo Logic out-of-the-box SLOs and associated monitors using our new Terraform script.

This script allows you to install Sumo Logic SLOs in your specified AWS ELB directory and configure SLO alert notifications (e.g., latency limit breached, server error limit breached). Once installed, you can view and edit your SLO alerts via Terraform or from your Sumo Logic Monitors page.

To learn more about our SLOs, see Sumo Logic Reliability management.

December 2, 2022 (Manage)​

Update - On November 10, we released improvements to the Account Overview page. Now, an admin for a parent org can see detailed usage of Sumo Credits for different product variables, aggregated across child orgs from the start of the contract period. Another nice enhancement: the Account Overview page now also presents Promotional Credits consumption. For more information, see Create and Manage Orgs.

December 1, 2022 (Metrics)

Update - As of December 1, 2022, metrics ingested to Sumo Logic must include the metric dimension.

If you send metrics without the metric dimension, Sumo Logic will ingest them, and set the metric dimension value to undefined. We plan to deprecate and filter these metrics at a later date.

There are benefits to including the metric dimension: it improves the structure of queries, dashboards, and monitors. In addition, the presence of the metric dimension can significantly improve query latency and monitor evaluation time.

For more information, see Mandatory metric name.

November 30, 2022 (Metrics)​

New - We're pleased to announce a new chart type for metric queries. A heat map visualizes the count of data points returned by a metrics query within specified value ranges over time intervals of a specified duration. For more information, see Create a Heat Map.

November 29, 2022 (Metrics)​

Update - Good news! We've increased the number of Metrics Monitors that Enterprise and Trial accounts can have, from 500 to 1,500. For more information, see Monitors.

September 12, 2022 (Alerts)​

New - We’re happy to announce the release of Alert Grouping, which allows you to generate more than one alert from a given monitor by specifying a group condition on one or more fields. For example, rather than creating multiple monitors for each service, you could create one single monitor that notifies you when some metric (i.e., CPU utilization, error count) goes above the threshold for a given service. Learn more.

New - Configurable Resolution Window for Logs allows more quickly resolve alerts when the underlying issues are fixed. You can configure how long a monitor will wait, before resolving the alert, when the underlying issues was corrected (earlier the monitor waited one complete window before resolving). See Logs trigger types and Metrics trigger types.

New - You can now access your monitor playbook as a template variable, {{playbook}}. You can reference this template variable to customize your notification payloads similar to any other template variable. Learn more.

July 4, 2022 (Alerts)​

Update - We’re continuing to make alerts and monitors more customizable to give you control over how often you are notified. You can now:

  • Visually indicate Alerting Query: For Metrics monitors with multiple query rows, we now visually indicate the alerting query row with a notification bell icon.
  • Improved JSON Validations for Connection Payloads: We're enforcing stricter JSON validation during creation and updating of Connections to prevent errors that could cause notification failures in the future. There are two major validations that we have started enforcing:
    • If there is a trailing comma (,) after the last "key": "value" in the JSON Payload structure, we will error out.
    • If there are multiple keys with the same name at the same level within a JSON payload, we will throw an error.
  • Monitor Alerts/Recovery Condition changes: We no longer support Log Monitors with an Alert threshold condition of “less than 0” or “greater or equal to 0” . This is because Log queries always result in 0 (when there is no data) or more (when there is data) rows, and monitors that were configured with these conditions were not firing alerts.
metrics-monitor-query-row

June 23, 2022 (Alerts)​

Update - We’ve made alerts and monitors more customizable to give you control over how often you are notified. You can now:

  • Customize the alert name to differentiate between multiple alerts created from the same monitor.
