Important Changes
Breaking Changes to Sensitive Information in API Responses
API responses for the following endpoints no longer include sensitive information in plaintext:
/system/settings/system/settings/auth/lib/database-connections
This affects passwords and password-equivalent attributes such as bindCredentials and client_secret. The values for these attributes are omitted or masked in responses.
What you need to do: Update any automation or scripts that depend on reading these plaintext values from the API responses for these endpoints.
Cribl Insights in Cribl.Cloud Government
Cribl Insights is now enabled by default in Cribl.Cloud Government.
New Features
Custom Monitors
You can now create custom Monitors. Use them to define your own alert conditions beyond the default monitor set, with a guided builder that lets you choose metrics, filters, grouping, and firing rules to match your environment.
Data Insights Map
- On the Data Insights map, persistent queue utilization is displayed when a Source or Destination has persistent queue enabled and a Queue size limit configured. Its map card shows a PQ sidecar that plots peak queue usage versus the configured limit over the selected time range. This makes it easier to spot saturated queues, validate PQ sizing, and troubleshoot backpressure without leaving the topology view.
- The Output Router Destination and the Destinations behind it now populate volume and freshness metrics on their map cards.
- The map now handles large graphs more clearly, making dense topologies easier to read and navigate. You can also save preferred filtered views and return to them later, which helps when you repeatedly troubleshoot the same parts of a data flow.
Experience Improvements
- In Cribl.Cloud, users with IAM Admin access on Organizations can now manage Connected Environments.
Corrections
| ID | Description |
|---|---|
MON-670 | Fixed an issue where System Insights showed queue metrics only for Destinations. It now also includes a Queue (Source) view for Source queue data. |
| PLAT-11363 | In Cribl.Cloud, the Cribl.Cloud Role/Permission list at Organization > SSO Management > Organization-Level Mappings now includes IAM Admin and Billing Reader. |
