What’s the best thing about September? Cribl Edge 4.3, of course! All-new features served piping hot, best enjoyed with a pumpkin-flavored treat and your favorite fall activity.
New Features
This release provides the following improvements:
Windows Upgrade via UI
The Cribl Edge 4.3 release lays the foundation for future upgrades of Windows Nodes from the Leader’s UI. Follow specific steps for a one-time upgrade of Windows Nodes to take advantage of managing them and receiving Leader updates. For details, see Upgrading the (Windows) Edge Nodes.
New Exec Source Fields
The Exec Source is the proud owner of some neat updates:
- A new event field lists the hostname of the event. It’s aptly called
host
. - The
source
field now accurately identifies the source of the event (theexec
command string). - Lastly, to facilitate traceability, the Logs tab now contains a new log message including the command executed, its elapsed time, and its exit code.
New Kubernetes Logs Internal Fields
The Kubernetes Logs Source now displays more internal fields in log events. They are the full objects for the namespace, node, and pod where the log originated:
__kube_namespace
__kube_node
__kube_pod
Compressed and Archived File Preview on the Inspect File Tab
When inspected, compressed files (e.g. foo.bar.gz
) include a File preview that
shows the beginning of the file contents.
Archived files (e.g. .zip
, .tgz
, .tar.gz
) include a File listing that
shows the files within it.
Custom Hash Length of File Headers
In the File Monitor, you can now customize the hash length of file headers to ensure files can be uniquely identified.
Corrections
This release includes the following fixes:
CRIBL-19818 When set to XML format, the Windows Event Logs Source now accepts log names that contain spaces.
CRIBL-14672 Restored Leader UI’s ability to specify TLS settings for managed Edge Nodes. (Corrected erroneous validity check for certificate paths.)
CRIBL-11229 On the List View tab, we’ve relabeled three column headers for clarity — Edge Version, Last Heartbeat, and Started.
CRIBL-18337 Removed broken Diagnostics option from Fleet Settings.
