Related roles: caql_broker, fault_detection, stratcon

Version: 0.1.1605212210 (ad1d295)

Function Removal Notice

Metric Search v2 and Metric Clusters have been deprecated for some time. We plan to remove these deprecated functions soon for the SaaS site, and in the subsequent Inside release. This will affect CAQL checks as well as CAQL Datapoints on graphs. The UI will now show users a warning when one of the deprecated functions is used. Circonus offers a more powerful tag-search feature, exposed as find() in CAQL.

  • (stratcon) Fix raw_ingestor bug that could result in incorrect error messages.
  • Improve raw_only_delete efficiency and memory usage, add /raw_only_delete REST API.
  • Ensure tag-search indexes are correctly updated when deleting metrics.
  • Restrict batch size in raw-only delete, in case the find set is too large to fit in memory.
  • Performance improvements to the active_count query.

fault_detection​

Version: 0.1.1604429515 (5d19ba9)

  • If a ruleset would trigger due to a rule number change but the severity would remain at RULE_SEV_NONE, do not send a notification. This eliminates work for the notification system when there is no effective change of severity.

Composite Checks Removal Notice

Since the 2019-05-06 release, the circonus-ernie service has remained, serving its secondary role as a broker for Composite checks. This functionality has been replaced and extended by CAQL checks. The Composite check type, and the supporting service, will be removed in a future release. Operators and users of composite checks should immediately begin converting to CAQL checks. Please contact Circonus Support (support@circonus.com) with any questions.

FQ​

Related roles: caql_broker, fault_detection, mq, stratcon, web_stream

Version: 0.13.1

  • Add Backtrace (crash reporting) support for the FQ daemon.

GoAPI​

Related roles: api

  • Fixes a mutex lock issue in goapi fq logging that could cause the goapi process to hang.
  • Corrects an issue that could cause duplicate token applications to attempt to add, resulting in a false authentication error.
  • Updates OAuth2 get user information API calls to allow multiple types to be possible for the OAuth2 response error property.

  • Corrects the error code returned for unauthorized /user requests.

Hooper​

Version: 0.1.1601401182 (971bc71)

  • Enable FQ crash reporting in the mq role.
  • Add an attribute to the stratcon role to configure its concurrency for sending data into IRONdb. The irondb_put_concurrency value is the desired number of threads that should be devoted to sending metrics into IRONdb. If not specified, it defaults to 50. The actual number of active threads may drop lower than this value, depending on the volume of metrics coming from brokers, but it will not exceed the configured concurrency. Raising the concurrency can help if the storage feeds from brokers show delay, and the stratcon host still has CPU and network resources to spare.

Hooper​

Version: 0.1.1600699570 (f7f35e5)

  • Make data_storage rollup suppression filter configurable. This is a tag query whose matching metrics will be skipped during rollup, and removed from the raw database as shards expire. It was hard-coded at introduction in the 2020-04-06 release, but it is an unnecessary operation if not needed. Operators wishing to preserve the previous value should set the rollup_suppression_filter attribute to and(__rollup:false) in site.json. See data_storage attributes in the Installation manual for details.

Version: 0.8.3

  • Three new fields have been added to the data returned by the /metric endpoint: _check_broker, _check_module, and _check_target.
  • Fix for worksheet graphs to be returned with incomplete CID values.
  • Fix an error that would cause all worksheets returned by the API to be tagged as favorite.
  • Fix an error that could cause the process to hang on API servers without a local fq installation.
  • Split the goapi log into separate access and error logs. These logs by default will be located at /var/log/circonus/goapi_access.log and /var/log/circonus/goapi_error.log.
  • Truncate log entry data fields at 2 KB. This prevents very long individual log entry data fields from obscuring the log files.
  • Fix a noisy error about trace information from the proxy server.
  • Change the log level of redundant errors to debug. This allows only one error level log entry to be reported for any single error, while extra detail will still be available at the debug level if needed.
  • Failures to authenticate are no longer logged at the error level. They are instead logged at the warning level.
  • Correct an issue with LDAP authentication causing cookies not to be parsed correctly, resulting in failed authentications.
  • Correct a config load issue that would cause errors during OAuth authentication attempts.

  • Stratcon: The uuid attribute is deprecated in favor of a node_ids object containing a key for each stratcon host, whose value is a UUID string. All stratcon hosts must be included. Previously, if multiple stratcon hosts were present, they would all have the same UUID. This does not cause issues for stratcon functionality, but does affect the metric names of its internal statistics. If node_ids is not present and there are multiple stratcon nodes, a warning will be issued at the end of the run.

Function Removal Notice

Metric Search v2 and Metric Clusters have been deprecated for some time. We plan to remove these deprecated functions soon for the SaaS site, and in the subsequent Inside release. This will affect CAQL checks as well as CAQL Datapoints on graphs. The UI will now show users a warning when one of the deprecated functions is used. Circonus offers a more powerful tag-search feature, exposed as find() in CAQL.

  • Fix race condition in search index management.
  • Various use-after-free fixes.
  • Default timeout for latency_sensitive event loop increased to 10 seconds.
  • Move parsing of raw data into separate jobq to process asynchronously.
  • Update CAQL search:metric:...() to up-convert to a tag search and leverage the find:...() processing unit.
  • Alter both search:metric:...() and find:...() to support external (out-of-band) expansion replacement. Within IRONdb, default both to internal index-based expansion. When not in IRONdb (CAQL-broker) maintain the pre-existing default (search: external, find: internal). Allow config-based override of these extra-IRONdb defaults.
  • Add the impl keyword arg to both search:metric:...() and find:...() to allow statement-based selection of internal or external search expansion.

Hooper​

Version: 0.1.1595336617 (126e230)

  • API: Fix regex match of origin URL in Apache configuration to allow for deployments where the URL host is the base site domain.
  • Add optional top-level site.json attribute, cookie_domain. This is the domain name common to all client-facing endpoints, which will be used for session cookies. If absent, the domain value is used, and it is assumed that all endpoints are either the same as, or subdomains of, the site domain. This option may be useful if your web frontend and API hostnames are not both derived from the site domain. For example, if your web and API hosts are "circonus.example.com" and "circonusapi.example.com", respectively, then you would set cookie_domain to example.com.
  • Add optional site.json attribute for the API role, external_host. This may be used in deployments where the client-facing API host does not follow the convention of api.<site_domain>. It is used by the web UI to construct requests from client browsers directly to the API for features such as metric name autocomplete in Metrics Explorer.

  • Fix bug causing crashes when resuming a reconstitute and the debug/surr_load debug log is enabled.
  • Remove the concept of source/category and check_name. These were metadata recorded in the surrogate database, and used only for Graphite searching. Their removal reduces complexity and saves memory, while Graphite search compatility is preserved through other means. This change modifies the content of replicated surrogate data, which will cause an increase in surrogate update activity on nodes that have not yet been upgraded.

This will become the default in the next major release and users can get their code ready now by adding -DMTEV_USE_MLKV_2 to their CPPFLAGS. This is not ABI breaking, but the next major release will break the ABI such that C++ can be supported.
  • Fix string-matching in mtev_logic.
  • Add functional probability for mtev_frrh via mtev_frrh_set_prob_function.
  • Remove noitedit/strlcpy.h header and provide that via mtev_str.h.
  • Add mtev_strlcpy and mtev_strlcat.
  • Runtime detection of ASAN to avoid stack-buffer-underflow failures when apps use ACO (runtime avoids memcpy for stack replacement).

    • Turn on accept_thread and fanout for the 8112 listener. The former dedicates a thread to handling new connections, and the latter fans out events from accepted connections across threads in the default eventer pool. These improve performance.
    • Add a log of RocksDB activity, level "warn" and higher. This will capture statistics on compaction, among others. It rotates on file size and will not occupy more than 100 MB of total disk space.
    • Explicitly note the surrogate database attribues cache_init_size and activity_tracking, using the in-code default values.

  • upd: Changes the auth service process used for token based authentication to not use caching by default. Auth token caching can be re-activated with an environment variable setting.
  • fix: multiple instances where 500 errors were being returned have been fixed to return the correct 4XX errors and messaging.
  • fix: when using token auth, if either the token or app name header is missing, the error code returned will be 401, previously it was incorrectly returning code 403 if only one of the headers was missing.

Version: 0.1.1583515571 (006e2fd)

  • Packaging: the broker's jezebel service is removed, and the jezebel process is now directly spawned/managed by noitd. Going forward, operators need only be concerned with the noitd service.
  • Extend metric/filterset buffer lengths.
  • Broker: implement graphite_pickle module.
  • Broker: fix startup speed for large configs.
    • Improve check-to-thread distribution.
    • Cache the common mtev.conf_get_string calls in modules.
  • libnoit: add instrumentation to noit_metric_director.

Web UI/API​

Version: 0.1.1583528882 (697a19a)

  • Bugfix: API would not allow provision_broker with account token.
  • New Feature: Add UI support for the new Graphite (Pickle) module and unified all Graphite modules under a single display.
  • New Feature: Histogram datapoints on graphs now have a "value type" field which allows them to be plotted as a rate instead of as a heatmap.
  • New Feature: Enabled metric filtering by stream tag query for checks using allow/deny metric filters.
  • Bugfix: Removing parent from rule_set via API with "parent":null was not working.

Function Removal Notice

Metric Search v2 and Metric Clusters have been deprecated for some time. We plan to remove these deprecated functions soon for the SaaS site, and in the subsequent Inside release. This will affect CAQL checks as well as CAQL Datapoints on graphs. The UI will now show users a warning when one of the deprecated functions is used. Circonus offers a more powerful tag-search feature, exposed as find() in CAQL.

  • CAQL: Add coalesce() function.
  • (Stratcon) Fix potential crash that can occur when two or more nodes in an IRONdb cluster are down. Issue was caused by concurrent writes to a hash table.
  • (Stratcon) Fix potential infinite recursion bug that could cause crashes if stratcond is unable to write to any node in the IRONdb cluster for an extended period of time.
  • Implement rate transform on histograms in the /fetch endpoint.
  • Make existing stddev and average transforms work for histograms in /fetch.
  • Make existing mean transform work for numerics in /fetch.
