Highlights

These are the highlights of this release:

  • New Fluentd plugin to aggregate log data

    • The new Fluentd plugin allows you to receive logs directly from Fluentd so you don’t have to deploy additional toolsets to aggregate log data for monitoring.
  • Monitor Kubernetes control plane components with Prometheus plugin

    • The Prometheus plugin is now enhanced to support collecting metrics from Kubernetes endpoints such as the control plane components.
  • Other improvements

    • AWS plugin now support monitoring custom namespaces (custom metrics), EC2 network interfaces and security groups. The plugin configuration is also updated to allow a single collector (plugin) to monitor multiple regions to minimise configuration.
    • Gateway publishing now supports exclude filter when publishing data to other systems like ITRS Obcerv, Kafka and generic Http endpoints. This gives more control over the data published to other systems, helping to minimise downstream data requirements.
    • Market Data Monitoring (MDM) plugin now includes a new feed adapter for connecting to Refinitiv’s Real Time Optimized data feed accessible via the cloud. This is available as pilot feature in this release.
    • SQL-Toolkit plugin for SAP ASE (Sybase) now support Kerberos authentication.
