Search2024-07-17Maintenance

Starting with Cribl Search 4.7.2, you can query multiple paths using a single Dataset, embellish your Dashboards with Markdown, quickly traverse between a search and its related Datasets or Dashboards, and more.

Multi-Path Datasets
​

Object store Datasets now support searching multiple paths per bucket or container. This way, you can cover the same amount of data by using fewer Datasets. The following provider types support this feature:

Markdown in Dashboards
​

Dashboards can now include Markdown panels. Here, you can enhance your Dashboards with text and images to provide explanations, captions, or additional information.

Snapshots for All API Datasets
​

We recently introduced Snapshots for Generic HTTP API Datasets. Now, you can use Snapshots with all the other API Dataset types as well, including:

Grafana Plugin
​

You can now quickly visualize your search results in Grafana, using the official Cribl Search plugin.

New Set-Statement Option: job_visibility
​

You can now set a search’s default visibility right from the query box, using the new set-statement option: job_visibility.

Interactions for Single-value Charts
​

Single-value charts now support interactions, including adding values to Dashboard inputs and running a new search.

UI Improvements
​

UI improvements include:

  • Streamlined UI of the search History.
  • A dedicated button that loads the results of a previous search.
  • Two-way links between a search and its related Datasets or Dashboards.

Prometheus Enhancements
​

Searching Prometheus got easier. Instead of using metric=..., pass the metric name alone:

// before (no longer supported)
dataset="prometheus_dataset_ID" metric=node_cpu_seconds_total

// now
dataset="prometheus_dataset_ID" node_cpu_seconds_total

You can also search with wildcards, the Prometheus __name__ field, and more. See the examples: Search a Prometheus Dataset.
