Obcerv App Query Service 2.1.0 Copied

New features and enhancements Copied

These are the new features and enhancements of this release:

Issue key Release description
ESCA-533 Added the getLogicalEntityPath endpoint, which is used by the UI to resolve an entity’s path in the logical state tree.
ESCA-534 The resolveAttributes API endpoint now includes a flag that tells the UI if an attribute is a status metric.
ESCA-536 Added the GetHistogramStatistics and GetHistogramSeries endpoints to make it easier for the UI to work with histogram data points from the Obcerv Platform. These endpoints are experimental and might change or be moved to the Obcerv Platform.
ESCA-539 Replaced the existing GetLatestMetricValues endpoint with the new GetMetricStatistics endpoint. GetLatestMetricValues will be removed once the System Overview app is deprecated.
ESCA-542 Added an endpoint for getting a dataview, such as the representation of metrics for child entities. The primary use case for this is for the new Entities app and the Entities Viewer page.
ESCA-544 Added an endpoint for getting the unique set of child hierarchies for an entity.
ESCA-545 Added an endpoint for getting metrics available for a dataview. This endpoint is experimental and not currently used by any app.
ESCA-549 Added the GetDatapointInfo endpoint, which returns information for a datapoint (metric, histogram, log, etc.) for an entity.
ESCA-550 Added a search filter to QueryEntityGroupedStats. This enables filtering in the logical tree view for the Entity Viewer.
ESCA-551 Exposed a Logs API to hide the raw Loki API. The Logs API exposes endpoints for querying logs and statistics. This API is experimental and will be migrated to the Obcerv Platform at some point.
ESCA-552 Optimized query expressions referencing the hierarchy attribute.
ESCA-553 Exposed the new getMetricSeries endpoint for getting a metric series from the Obcerv Platform. The endpoint adds additional functionality such as unit conversion. In a future release, this endpoint will also do gap filling and caching.
ESCA-558 Added the QueryEntityFacets and QueryGroupedEntityFacets endpoints for returning facet counts for a set of entities.
ESCA-568 Extended EntityInfo with EntityInfo.display_label so the UI can display a user-friendly display name without needing to have logic in the UI for deciding what the display name should be.
ESCA-570 Added the new GetSignalInfo endpoint for retrieving signals triggered within a time window. The signals returned are enriched with metric information.
ESCA-571 Added KeyType.STATUS so entity queries can be filtered by entities having status metric only.
ESCA-572 Added the QueryRelatedEntities endpoint for resolving related entities. This is an experimental feature and will be enhanced once the Obcerv Platform supports relationship graphs. Currently, the endpoint resolves relationships by looking at dimension commonalities.
ESCA-575 Extended EntityInfo with EntityInfo.has_logs_descendants. This flag tells the UI if any descendent entities have logs.
ESCA-576 Updated Kubernetes containment rules in line with the changes in Obcerv Platform 2.2.0.
ESCA-577 Added QueryEntityGroupedStatsResponse.count, which gives the total number of entities in the response.
ESCA-579 It is now possible to specify how grouping is done in QueryEntityGroupedStats. Either entities matching the ALL or ANY keys are included.
ESCA-582 Added the streaming activity endpoint for notifying the UI when the following happens.
  • Severity changes
  • Snooze changes
  • Entity becomes inactive
  • Entity is first observed

The UI will subscribe to the aforementioned events and update itself accordingly. In most cases, this will result in a complete refresh upon receiving an activity update from the Query Service.

ESCA-584 Added the GetStatusMetricSeries endpoint to simplify the retrieval of status metric history. The endpoint retrieves the history and also takes into account stale status metric. If the latest status metric update falls outside of the requested time window, it will be returned in the response.
ESCA-586 Optimized the query for getSignalTimeline by simplifying a join and adding a specialized index.

Issues fixed Copied

These are the issues we have fixed in this release:

Issue key Release description
ESCA-573 Previously, search did not work if multiple scopes were specified in the search UI. For example, if both Attributes and Dimensions were applied in the scope, then nothing will be returned from the Query Service. This issue has been resolved.
