Chapter 1. Release notes
Chapter 1. Release notes 1.1. Logging 5.9 Logging is provided as an installable component, with a distinct release cycle from the core OpenShift Container Platform. The Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Life Cycle Policy outlines release compatibility. Note The stable channel only provides updates to the most recent release of logging. To continue receiving updates for prior releases, you must change your subscription channel to stable-x.y , where x.y represents the major and minor version of logging you have installed. For example, stable-5.7 . 1.1.1. Logging 5.9.12 This release includes RHSA-2025:1985 . 1.1.1.1. CVEs CVE-2020-11023 CVE-2022-49043 CVE-2024-12797 CVE-2025-25184 Note For detailed information on Red Hat security ratings, review Severity ratings . 1.1.2. Logging 5.9.11 This release includes RHSA-2025:1227 . 1.1.2.1. Enhancements This enhancement adds OTel semantic stream labels to the lokiStack output so that you can query logs by using both ViaQ and OTel stream labels. ( LOG-6581 ) 1.1.2.2. Bug Fixes Before this update, the collector container mounted all log sources. With this update, it mounts only the defined input sources. ( LOG-5691 ) Before this update, fluentd ignored the no_proxy setting when using the HTTP output. With this update, the no_proxy setting is picked up correctly. ( LOG-6586 ) Before this update, clicking on "more logs" from the pod detail view triggered a false permission error due to a missing namespace parameter required for authorization. With this update, clicking "more logs" includes the namespace parameter, preventing the permission error and allowing access to more logs. ( LOG-6645 ) Before this update, specifying syslog.addLogSource added namespace_name , container_name , and pod_name to the messages of non-container logs. With this update, only container logs will include namespace_name , container_name , and pod_name in their messages when syslog.addLogSource is set. ( LOG-6656 ) 1.1.2.3. CVEs CVE-2024-12085 CVE-2024-47220 Note For detailed information on Red Hat security ratings, review Severity ratings . 1.1.3. Logging 5.9.10 This release includes RHSA-2024:10990 . 1.1.3.1. Bug Fixes Before this update, any namespace containing openshift or kube was treated as an infrastructure namespace. With this update, only the following namespaces are treated as infrastructure namespaces: default , kube , openshift , and namespaces that begin with openshift- or kube- . ( LOG-6044 ) Before this update, Loki attempted to detect the level of log messages, which caused confusion when the collector also detected log levels and produced different results. With this update, automatic log level detection in Loki is disabled. ( LOG-6321 ) Before this update, when the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource defined tls.insecureSkipVerify: true in combination with type: http and an HTTP URL, the certificate validation was not skipped. This misconfiguration caused the collector to fail because it attempted to validate certificates despite the setting. With this update, when tls.insecureSkipVerify: true is set, the URL is checked for the HTTPS. An HTTP URL will cause a misconfiguration error. ( LOG-6376 ) Before this update, when any infrastructure namespaces were specified in the application inputs in the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource, logs were generated with the incorrect log_type: application tags. With this update, when any infrastructure namespaces are specified in the application inputs, logs are generated with the correct log_type: infrastructure tags. ( LOG-6377 ) Important When updating to Logging for Red Hat OpenShift 5.9.10, if you previously added any infrastructure namespaces in the application inputs in the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource, you must add the permissions for collecting logs from infrastructure namespaces. For more details, see "Setting up log collection". 1.1.3.2. CVEs CVE-2024-2236 CVE-2024-2511 CVE-2024-3596 CVE-2024-4603 CVE-2024-4741 CVE-2024-5535 CVE-2024-10963 CVE-2024-50602 CVE-2024-55565 1.1.4. Logging 5.9.9 This release includes RHBA-2024:10049 . 1.1.4.1. Bug fixes Before this update, upgrades to version 6.0 failed with errors if a Log File Metric Exporter instance was present. This update fixes the issue, enabling upgrades to proceed smoothly without errors. ( LOG-6201 ) Before this update, Loki did not correctly load some configurations, which caused issues when using Alibaba Cloud or IBM Cloud object storage. This update fixes the configuration-loading code in Loki, resolving the issue. ( LOG-6293 ) 1.1.4.2. CVEs CVE-2024-6119 1.1.5. Logging 5.9.8 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.8 . 1.1.5.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the Loki Operator failed to add the default namespace label to all AlertingRule resources, which caused the User-Workload-Monitoring Alertmanager to skip routing these alerts. This update adds the rule namespace as a label to all alerting and recording rules, resolving the issue and restoring proper alert routing in Alertmanager. ( LOG-6181 ) Before this update, the LokiStack ruler component view did not initialize properly, causing an invalid field error when the ruler component was disabled. This update ensures that the component view initializes with an empty value, resolving the issue. ( LOG-6183 ) Before this update, an LF character in the vector.toml file under the ES authentication configuration caused the collector pods to crash. This update removes the newline characters from the username and password fields, resolving the issue. ( LOG-6206 ) Before this update, it was possible to set the .containerLimit.maxRecordsPerSecond parameter in the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource to 0 , which could lead to an exception during Vector's startup. With this update, the configuration is validated before being applied, and any invalid values (less than or equal to zero) are rejected. ( LOG-6214 ) 1.1.5.2. CVEs ( CVE-2024-24791 ) ( CVE-2024-34155 ) ( CVE-2024-34156 ) ( CVE-2024-34158 ) ( CVE-2024-6119 ( CVE-2024-45490 ( CVE-2024-45491 ( CVE-2024-45492 1.1.6. Logging 5.9.7 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.7 . 1.1.6.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the clusterlogforwarder.spec.outputs.http.timeout parameter was not applied to the Fluentd configuration when Fluentd was used as the collector type, causing HTTP timeouts to be misconfigured. With this update, the clusterlogforwarder.spec.outputs.http.timeout parameter is now correctly applied, ensuring Fluentd honors the specified timeout and handles HTTP connections according to the user's configuration. ( LOG-6125 ) Before this update, the TLS section was added without verifying the broker URL schema, resulting in SSL connection errors if the URLs did not start with tls . With this update, the TLS section is now added only if the broker URLs start with tls , preventing SSL connection errors. ( LOG-6041 ) 1.1.6.2. CVEs CVE-2024-6104 CVE-2024-6119 CVE-2024-34397 CVE-2024-45296 CVE-2024-45490 CVE-2024-45491 CVE-2024-45492 CVE-2024-45801 Note For detailed information on Red Hat security ratings, review Severity ratings . 1.1.7. Logging 5.9.6 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.6 . 1.1.7.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the collector deployment ignored secret changes, causing receivers to reject logs. With this update, the system rolls out a new pod when there is a change in the secret value, ensuring that the collector reloads the updated secrets. ( LOG-5525 ) Before this update, the Vector could not correctly parse field values that included a single dollar sign ( USD ). With this update, field values with a single dollar sign are automatically changed to two dollar signs ( USDUSD ), ensuring proper parsing by the Vector. ( LOG-5602 ) Before this update, the drop filter could not handle non-string values (e.g., .responseStatus.code: 403 ). With this update, the drop filter now works properly with these values. ( LOG-5815 ) Before this update, the collector used the default settings to collect audit logs, without handling the backload from output receivers. With this update, the process for collecting audit logs has been improved to better manage file handling and log reading efficiency. ( LOG-5866 ) Before this update, the must-gather tool failed on clusters with non-AMD64 architectures such as Azure Resource Manager (ARM) or PowerPC. With this update, the tool now detects the cluster architecture at runtime and uses architecture-independent paths and dependencies. The detection allows must-gather to run smoothly on platforms like ARM and PowerPC. ( LOG-5997 ) Before this update, the log level was set using a mix of structured and unstructured keywords that were unclear. With this update, the log level follows a clear, documented order, starting with structured keywords. ( LOG-6016 ) Before this update, multiple unnamed pipelines writing to the default output in the ClusterLogForwarder caused a validation error due to duplicate auto-generated names. With this update, the pipeline names are now generated without duplicates. ( LOG-6033 ) Before this update, the collector pods did not have the PreferredScheduling annotation. With this update, the PreferredScheduling annotation is added to the collector daemonset. ( LOG-6023 ) 1.1.7.2. CVEs CVE-2024-0286 CVE-2024-2398 CVE-2024-37370 CVE-2024-37371 1.1.8. Logging 5.9.5 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.5 1.1.8.1. Bug Fixes Before this update, duplicate conditions in the LokiStack resource status led to invalid metrics from the Loki Operator. With this update, the Operator removes duplicate conditions from the status. ( LOG-5855 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not trigger alerts when it dropped log events due to validation failures. With this update, the Loki Operator includes a new alert definition that triggers an alert if Loki drops log events due to validation failures. ( LOG-5895 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator overwrote user annotations on the LokiStack Route resource, causing customizations to drop. With this update, the Loki Operator no longer overwrites Route annotations, fixing the issue. ( LOG-5945 ) 1.1.8.2. CVEs None. 1.1.9. Logging 5.9.4 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.4 1.1.9.1. Bug Fixes Before this update, an incorrectly formatted timeout configuration caused the OCP plugin to crash. With this update, a validation prevents the crash and informs the user about the incorrect configuration. ( LOG-5373 ) Before this update, workloads with labels containing - caused an error in the collector when normalizing log entries. With this update, the configuration change ensures the collector uses the correct syntax. ( LOG-5524 ) Before this update, an issue prevented selecting pods that no longer existed, even if they had generated logs. With this update, this issue has been fixed, allowing selection of such pods. ( LOG-5697 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator would crash if the CredentialRequest specification was registered in an environment without the cloud-credentials-operator . With this update, the CredentialRequest specification only registers in environments that are cloud-credentials-operator enabled. ( LOG-5701 ) Before this update, the Logging Operator watched and processed all config maps across the cluster. With this update, the dashboard controller only watches the config map for the logging dashboard. ( LOG-5702 ) Before this update, the ClusterLogForwarder introduced an extra space in the message payload which did not follow the RFC3164 specification. With this update, the extra space has been removed, fixing the issue. ( LOG-5707 ) Before this update, removing the seeding for grafana-dashboard-cluster-logging as a part of ( LOG-5308 ) broke new greenfield deployments without dashboards. With this update, the Logging Operator seeds the dashboard at the beginning and continues to update it for changes. ( LOG-5747 ) Before this update, LokiStack was missing a route for the Volume API causing the following error: 404 not found . With this update, LokiStack exposes the Volume API, resolving the issue. ( LOG-5749 ) 1.1.9.2. CVEs CVE-2024-24790 1.1.10. Logging 5.9.3 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.3 1.1.10.1. Bug Fixes Before this update, there was a delay in restarting Ingesters when configuring LokiStack , because the Loki Operator sets the write-ahead log replay_memory_ceiling to zero bytes for the 1x.demo size. With this update, the minimum value used for the replay_memory_ceiling has been increased to avoid delays. ( LOG-5614 ) Before this update, monitoring the Vector collector output buffer state was not possible. With this update, monitoring and alerting the Vector collector output buffer size is possible that improves observability capabilities and helps keep the system running optimally. ( LOG-5586 ) 1.1.10.2. CVEs CVE-2024-2961 CVE-2024-28182 CVE-2024-33599 CVE-2024-33600 CVE-2024-33601 CVE-2024-33602 1.1.11. Logging 5.9.2 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.2 1.1.11.1. Bug Fixes Before this update, changes to the Logging Operator caused an error due to an incorrect configuration in the ClusterLogForwarder CR. As a result, upgrades to logging deleted the daemonset collector. With this update, the Logging Operator re-creates collector daemonsets except when a Not authorized to collect error occurs. ( LOG-4910 ) Before this update, the rotated infrastructure log files were sent to the application index in some scenarios due to an incorrect configuration in the Vector log collector. With this update, the Vector log collector configuration avoids collecting any rotated infrastructure log files. ( LOG-5156 ) Before this update, the Logging Operator did not monitor changes to the grafana-dashboard-cluster-logging config map. With this update, the Logging Operator monitors changes in the ConfigMap objects, ensuring the system stays synchronized and responds effectively to config map modifications. ( LOG-5308 ) Before this update, an issue in the metrics collection code of the Logging Operator caused it to report stale telemetry metrics. With this update, the Logging Operator does not report stale telemetry metrics. ( LOG-5426 ) Before this change, the Fluentd out_http plugin ignored the no_proxy environment variable. With this update, the Fluentd patches the HTTP#start method of ruby to honor the no_proxy environment variable. ( LOG-5466 ) 1.1.11.2. CVEs CVE-2022-48554 CVE-2023-2975 CVE-2023-3446 CVE-2023-3817 CVE-2023-5678 CVE-2023-6129 CVE-2023-6237 CVE-2023-7008 CVE-2023-45288 CVE-2024-0727 CVE-2024-22365 CVE-2024-25062 CVE-2024-28834 CVE-2024-28835 1.1.12. Logging 5.9.1 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.1 1.1.12.1. Enhancements Before this update, the Loki Operator configured Loki to use path-based style access for the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), which has been deprecated. With this update, the Loki Operator defaults to virtual-host style without users needing to change their configuration. ( LOG-5401 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not validate the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) endpoint used in the storage secret. With this update, the validation process ensures the S3 endpoint is a valid S3 URL, and the LokiStack status updates to indicate any invalid URLs. ( LOG-5395 ) 1.1.12.2. Bug Fixes Before this update, a bug in LogQL parsing left out some line filters from the query. With this update, the parsing now includes all the line filters while keeping the original query unchanged. ( LOG-5268 ) Before this update, a prune filter without a defined pruneFilterSpec would cause a segfault. With this update, there is a validation error if a prune filter is without a defined puneFilterSpec . ( LOG-5322 ) Before this update, a drop filter without a defined dropTestsSpec would cause a segfault. With this update, there is a validation error if a prune filter is without a defined puneFilterSpec . ( LOG-5323 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not validate the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) endpoint URL format used in the storage secret. With this update, the S3 endpoint URL goes through a validation step that reflects on the status of the LokiStack . ( LOG-5397 ) Before this update, poorly formatted timestamp fields in audit log records led to WARN messages in Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator logs. With this update, a remap transformation ensures that the timestamp field is properly formatted. ( LOG-4672 ) Before this update, the error message thrown while validating a ClusterLogForwarder resource name and namespace did not correspond to the correct error. With this update, the system checks if a ClusterLogForwarder resource with the same name exists in the same namespace. If not, it corresponds to the correct error. ( LOG-5062 ) Before this update, the validation feature for output config required a TLS URL, even for services such as Amazon CloudWatch or Google Cloud Logging where a URL is not needed by design. With this update, the validation logic for services without URLs are improved, and the error message are more informative. ( LOG-5307 ) Before this update, defining an infrastructure input type did not exclude logging workloads from the collection. With this update, the collection excludes logging services to avoid feedback loops. ( LOG-5309 ) 1.1.12.3. CVEs No CVEs. 1.1.13. Logging 5.9.0 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.9.0 1.1.13.1. Removal notice The Logging 5.9 release does not contain an updated version of the OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator. Instances of OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator from prior logging releases, remain supported until the EOL of the logging release. As an alternative to using the OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator to manage the default log storage, you can use the Loki Operator. For more information on the Logging lifecycle dates, see Platform Agnostic Operators . 1.1.13.2. Deprecation notice In Logging 5.9, Fluentd, and Kibana are deprecated and are planned to be removed in Logging 6.0, which is expected to be shipped alongside a future release of OpenShift Container Platform. Red Hat will provide critical and above CVE bug fixes and support for these components during the current release lifecycle, but these components will no longer receive feature enhancements. The Vector-based collector provided by the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator and LokiStack provided by the Loki Operator are the preferred Operators for log collection and storage. We encourage all users to adopt the Vector and Loki log stack, as this will be the stack that will be enhanced going forward. In Logging 5.9, the Fields option for the Splunk output type was never implemented and is now deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. 1.1.13.3. Enhancements 1.1.13.3.1. Log Collection This enhancement adds the ability to refine the process of log collection by using a workload's metadata to drop or prune logs based on their content. Additionally, it allows the collection of infrastructure logs, such as journal or container logs, and audit logs, such as kube api or ovn logs, to only collect individual sources. ( LOG-2155 ) This enhancement introduces a new type of remote log receiver, the syslog receiver. You can configure it to expose a port over a network, allowing external systems to send syslog logs using compatible tools such as rsyslog. ( LOG-3527 ) With this update, the ClusterLogForwarder API now supports log forwarding to Azure Monitor Logs, giving users better monitoring abilities. This feature helps users to maintain optimal system performance and streamline the log analysis processes in Azure Monitor, which speeds up issue resolution and improves operational efficiency. ( LOG-4605 ) This enhancement improves collector resource utilization by deploying collectors as a deployment with two replicas. This occurs when the only input source defined in the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource (CR) is a receiver input instead of using a daemon set on all nodes. Additionally, collectors deployed in this manner do not mount the host file system. To use this enhancement, you need to annotate the ClusterLogForwarder CR with the logging.openshift.io/dev-preview-enable-collector-as-deployment annotation. ( LOG-4779 ) This enhancement introduces the capability for custom tenant configuration across all supported outputs, facilitating the organization of log records in a logical manner. However, it does not permit custom tenant configuration for logging managed storage. ( LOG-4843 ) With this update, the ClusterLogForwarder CR that specifies an application input with one or more infrastructure namespaces like default , openshift* , or kube* , now requires a service account with the collect-infrastructure-logs role. ( LOG-4943 ) This enhancement introduces the capability for tuning some output settings, such as compression, retry duration, and maximum payloads, to match the characteristics of the receiver. Additionally, this feature includes a delivery mode to allow administrators to choose between throughput and log durability. For example, the AtLeastOnce option configures minimal disk buffering of collected logs so that the collector can deliver those logs after a restart. ( LOG-5026 ) This enhancement adds three new Prometheus alerts, warning users about the deprecation of Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana. ( LOG-5055 ) 1.1.13.3.2. Log Storage This enhancement in LokiStack improves support for OTEL by using the new V13 object storage format and enabling automatic stream sharding by default. This also prepares the collector for future enhancements and configurations. ( LOG-4538 ) This enhancement introduces support for short-lived token workload identity federation with Azure and AWS log stores for STS enabled OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 and later clusters. Local storage requires the addition of a CredentialMode: static annotation under spec.storage.secret in the LokiStack CR. ( LOG-4540 ) With this update, the validation of the Azure storage secret is now extended to give early warning for certain error conditions. ( LOG-4571 ) With this update, Loki now adds upstream and downstream support for GCP workload identity federation mechanism. This allows authenticated and authorized access to the corresponding object storage services. ( LOG-4754 ) 1.1.13.4. Bug Fixes Before this update, the logging must-gather could not collect any logs on a FIPS-enabled cluster. With this update, a new oc client is available in cluster-logging-rhel9-operator , and must-gather works properly on FIPS clusters. ( LOG-4403 ) Before this update, the LokiStack ruler pods could not format the IPv6 pod IP in HTTP URLs used for cross-pod communication. This issue caused querying rules and alerts through the Prometheus-compatible API to fail. With this update, the LokiStack ruler pods encapsulate the IPv6 pod IP in square brackets, resolving the problem. Now, querying rules and alerts through the Prometheus-compatible API works just like in IPv4 environments. ( LOG-4709 ) Before this fix, the YAML content from the logging must-gather was exported in a single line, making it unreadable. With this update, the YAML white spaces are preserved, ensuring that the file is properly formatted. ( LOG-4792 ) Before this update, when the ClusterLogForwarder CR was enabled, the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator could run into a nil pointer exception when ClusterLogging.Spec.Collection was nil. With this update, the issue is now resolved in the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator. ( LOG-5006 ) Before this update, in specific corner cases, replacing the ClusterLogForwarder CR status field caused the resourceVersion to constantly update due to changing timestamps in Status conditions. This condition led to an infinite reconciliation loop. With this update, all status conditions synchronize, so that timestamps remain unchanged if conditions stay the same. ( LOG-5007 ) Before this update, there was an internal buffering behavior to drop_newest to address high memory consumption by the collector resulting in significant log loss. With this update, the behavior reverts to using the collector defaults. ( LOG-5123 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor in the openshift-operators-redhat namespace used static token and CA files for authentication, causing errors in the Prometheus Operator in the User Workload Monitoring spec on the ServiceMonitor configuration. With this update, the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor in openshift-operators-redhat namespace now references a service account token secret by a LocalReference object. This approach allows the User Workload Monitoring spec in the Prometheus Operator to handle the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor successfully, enabling Prometheus to scrape the Loki Operator metrics. ( LOG-5165 ) Before this update, the configuration of the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor could match many Kubernetes services, resulting in the Loki Operator metrics being collected multiple times. With this update, the configuration of ServiceMonitor now only matches the dedicated metrics service. ( LOG-5212 ) 1.1.13.5. Known Issues None. 1.1.13.6.

Logging 5.8.16 This release includes RHBA-2024:10989 and RHBA-2024:143685 . 1.2.3.1. Bug fixes Before this update, Loki automatically tried to guess the log level of log messages, which caused confusion because the collector already does this, and Loki and the collector would sometimes come to different results. With this update, the automatic log level discovery in Loki is disabled. LOG-6322 . 1.2.3.2. CVEs CVE-2019-12900 CVE-2021-3903 CVE-2023-38709 CVE-2024-2236 CVE-2024-2511 CVE-2024-3596 CVE-2024-4603 CVE-2024-4741 CVE-2024-5535 CVE-2024-6232 CVE-2024-9287 CVE-2024-10041 CVE-2024-10963 CVE-2024-11168 CVE-2024-24795 CVE-2024-36387 CVE-2024-41009 CVE-2024-42244 CVE-2024-47175 CVE-2024-47875 CVE-2024-50226 CVE-2024-50602 1.2.4. Logging 5.8.15 This release includes RHBA-2024:10052 and RHBA-2024:10053 . 1.2.4.1. Bug fixes Before this update, Loki did not correctly load some configurations, which caused issues when using Alibaba Cloud or IBM Cloud object storage. This update fixes the configuration-loading code in Loki, resolving the issue. ( LOG-6294 ) Before this update, upgrades to version 6.0 failed with errors if a Log File Metric Exporter instance was present. This update fixes the issue, enabling upgrades to proceed smoothly without errors. ( LOG-6328 ) 1.2.4.2. CVEs CVE-2021-47385 CVE-2023-28746 CVE-2023-48161 CVE-2023-52658 CVE-2024-6119 CVE-2024-6232 CVE-2024-21208 CVE-2024-21210 CVE-2024-21217 CVE-2024-21235 CVE-2024-27403 CVE-2024-35989 CVE-2024-36889 CVE-2024-36978 CVE-2024-38556 CVE-2024-39483 CVE-2024-39502 CVE-2024-40959 CVE-2024-42079 CVE-2024-42272 CVE-2024-42284 CVE-2024-3596 CVE-2024-5535 1.2.5. Logging 5.8.14 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.14 and OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.14 . 1.2.5.1. Bug fixes Before this update, it was possible to set the .containerLimit.maxRecordsPerSecond parameter in the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource to 0 , which could lead to an exception during Vector's startup. With this update, the configuration is validated before being applied, and any invalid values (less than or equal to zero) are rejected. ( LOG-4671 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not automatically add the default namespace label to all its alerting rules, which caused Alertmanager instance for user-defined projects to skip routing such alerts. With this update, all alerting and recording rules have the namespace label and Alertmanager now routes these alerts correctly.

Logging 5.8.6 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.6 Security Update and OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.6 . 1.2.13.1. Enhancements Before this update, the Loki Operator did not validate the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) endpoint used in the storage secret. With this update, the validation process ensures the S3 endpoint is a valid S3 URL, and the LokiStack status updates to indicate any invalid URLs. ( LOG-5392 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator configured Loki to use path-based style access for the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), which has been deprecated. With this update, the Loki Operator defaults to virtual-host style without users needing to change their configuration. ( LOG-5402 ) 1.2.13.2. Bug fixes Before this update, the Elastisearch Operator ServiceMonitor in the openshift-operators-redhat namespace used static token and certificate authority (CA) files for authentication, causing errors in the Prometheus Operator in the User Workload Monitoring specification on the ServiceMonitor configuration. With this update, the Elastisearch Operator ServiceMonitor in the openshift-operators-redhat namespace now references a service account token secret by a LocalReference object. This approach allows the User Workload Monitoring specifications in the Prometheus Operator to handle the Elastisearch Operator ServiceMonitor successfully. This enables Prometheus to scrape the Elastisearch Operator metrics. ( LOG-5164 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not validate the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) endpoint URL format used in the storage secret. With this update, the S3 endpoint URL goes through a validation step that reflects on the status of the LokiStack . ( LOG-5398 ) 1.2.13.3.

Logging 5.8.5 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.5 . 1.2.14.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the configuration of the Loki Operator's ServiceMonitor could match many Kubernetes services, resulting in the Loki Operator's metrics being collected multiple times. With this update, the configuration of ServiceMonitor now only matches the dedicated metrics service. ( LOG-5250 ) Before this update, the Red Hat build pipeline did not use the existing build details in Loki builds and omitted information such as revision, branch, and version. With this update, the Red Hat build pipeline now adds these details to the Loki builds, fixing the issue. ( LOG-5201 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator checked if the pods were running to decide if the LokiStack was ready. With this update, it also checks if the pods are ready, so that the readiness of the LokiStack reflects the state of its components. ( LOG-5171 ) Before this update, running a query for log metrics caused an error in the histogram. With this update, the histogram toggle function and the chart are disabled and hidden because the histogram doesn't work with log metrics. ( LOG-5044 ) Before this update, the Loki and Elasticsearch bundle had the wrong maxOpenShiftVersion , resulting in IncompatibleOperatorsInstalled alerts. With this update, including 4.16 as the maxOpenShiftVersion property in the bundle fixes the issue. ( LOG-5272 ) Before this update, the build pipeline did not include linker flags for the build date, causing Loki builds to show empty strings for buildDate and goVersion . With this update, adding the missing linker flags in the build pipeline fixes the issue. ( LOG-5274 ) Before this update, a bug in LogQL parsing left out some line filters from the query. With this update, the parsing now includes all the line filters while keeping the original query unchanged. ( LOG-5270 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor in the openshift-operators-redhat namespace used static token and CA files for authentication, causing errors in the Prometheus Operator in the User Workload Monitoring spec on the ServiceMonitor configuration. With this update, the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor in openshift-operators-redhat namespace now references a service account token secret by a LocalReference object. This approach allows the User Workload Monitoring spec in the Prometheus Operator to handle the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor successfully, enabling Prometheus to scrape the Loki Operator metrics.

Logging 5.8.4 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.4 . 1.2.15.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the developer console's logs did not account for the current namespace, resulting in query rejection for users without cluster-wide log access. With this update, all supported OCP versions ensure correct namespace inclusion. ( LOG-4905 ) Before this update, the Cluster Logging Operator deployed ClusterRoles supporting LokiStack deployments only when the default log output was LokiStack. With this update, the roles are split into two groups: read and write. The write roles deploys based on the setting of the default log storage, just like all the roles used to do before. The read roles deploys based on whether the logging console plugin is active. ( LOG-4987 ) Before this update, multiple ClusterLogForwarders defining the same input receiver name had their service endlessly reconciled because of changing ownerReferences on one service. With this update, each receiver input will have its own service named with the convention of <CLF.Name>-<input.Name> . ( LOG-5009 ) Before this update, the ClusterLogForwarder did not report errors when forwarding logs to cloudwatch without a secret. With this update, the following error message appears when forwarding logs to cloudwatch without a secret: secret must be provided for cloudwatch output . ( LOG-5021 ) Before this update, the log_forwarder_input_info included application , infrastructure , and audit input metric points. With this update, http is also added as a metric point.

Logging 5.8.3 This release includes Logging Bug Fix 5.8.3 and Logging Security Fix 5.8.3 1.2.16.1. Bug fixes Before this update, when configured to read a custom S3 Certificate Authority the Loki Operator would not automatically update the configuration when the name of the ConfigMap or the contents changed. With this update, the Loki Operator is watching for changes to the ConfigMap and automatically updates the generated configuration. ( LOG-4969 ) Before this update, Loki outputs configured without a valid URL caused the collector pods to crash. With this update, outputs are subject to URL validation, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4822 ) Before this update the Cluster Logging Operator would generate collector configuration fields for outputs that did not specify a secret to use the service account bearer token. With this update, an output does not require authentication, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4962 ) Before this update, the tls.insecureSkipVerify field of an output was not set to a value of true without a secret defined. With this update, a secret is no longer required to set this value. ( LOG-4963 ) Before this update, output configurations allowed the combination of an insecure (HTTP) URL with TLS authentication.

Logging 5.8.2 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.2 . 1.2.17.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the LokiStack ruler pods would not format the IPv6 pod IP in HTTP URLs used for cross pod communication, causing querying rules and alerts through the Prometheus-compatible API to fail. With this update, the LokiStack ruler pods encapsulate the IPv6 pod IP in square brackets, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4890 ) Before this update, the developer console logs did not account for the current namespace, resulting in query rejection for users without cluster-wide log access. With this update, namespace inclusion has been corrected, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4947 ) Before this update, the logging view plugin of the OpenShift Container Platform web console did not allow for custom node placement and tolerations. With this update, defining custom node placements and tolerations has been added to the logging view plugin of the OpenShift Container Platform web console. ( LOG-4912 ) 1.2.17.2.

Logging 5.8.1 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.1 and OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.1 Kibana . 1.2.18.1. Enhancements 1.2.18.1.1. Log Collection With this update, while configuring Vector as a collector, you can add logic to the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator to use a token specified in the secret in place of the token associated with the service account. ( LOG-4780 ) With this update, the BoltDB Shipper Loki dashboards are now renamed to Index dashboards. ( LOG-4828 ) 1.2.18.2. Bug fixes Before this update, the ClusterLogForwarder created empty indices after enabling the parsing of JSON logs, even when the rollover conditions were not met. With this update, the ClusterLogForwarder skips the rollover when the write-index is empty. ( LOG-4452 ) Before this update, the Vector set the default log level incorrectly. With this update, the correct log level is set by improving the enhancement of regular expression, or regexp , for log level detection. ( LOG-4480 ) Before this update, during the process of creating index patterns, the default alias was missing from the initial index in each log output. As a result, Kibana users were unable to create index patterns by using OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator. This update adds the missing aliases to OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator, resolving the issue. Kibana users can now create index patterns that include the {app,infra,audit}-000001 indexes. ( LOG-4683 ) Before this update, Fluentd collector pods were in a CrashLoopBackOff state due to binding of the Prometheus server on IPv6 clusters. With this update, the collectors work properly on IPv6 clusters. ( LOG-4706 ) Before this update, the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator would undergo numerous reconciliations whenever there was a change in the ClusterLogForwarder . With this update, the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator disregards the status changes in the collector daemonsets that triggered the reconciliations. ( LOG-4741 ) Before this update, the Vector log collector pods were stuck in the CrashLoopBackOff state on IBM Power machines. With this update, the Vector log collector pods start successfully on IBM Power architecture machines. ( LOG-4768 ) Before this update, forwarding with a legacy forwarder to an internal LokiStack would produce SSL certificate errors using Fluentd collector pods. With this update, the log collector service account is used by default for authentication, using the associated token and ca.crt . ( LOG-4791 ) Before this update, forwarding with a legacy forwarder to an internal LokiStack would produce SSL certificate errors using Vector collector pods. With this update, the log collector service account is used by default for authentication and also using the associated token and ca.crt . ( LOG-4852 ) Before this fix, IPv6 addresses would not be parsed correctly after evaluating a host or multiple hosts for placeholders. With this update, IPv6 addresses are correctly parsed. ( LOG-4811 ) Before this update, it was necessary to create a ClusterRoleBinding to collect audit permissions for HTTP receiver inputs. With this update, it is not necessary to create the ClusterRoleBinding because the endpoint already depends upon the cluster certificate authority. ( LOG-4815 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not mount a custom CA bundle to the ruler pods. As a result, during the process to evaluate alerting or recording rules, object storage access failed. With this update, the Loki Operator mounts the custom CA bundle to all ruler pods. The ruler pods can download logs from object storage to evaluate alerting or recording rules. ( LOG-4836 ) Before this update, while removing the inputs.receiver section in the ClusterLogForwarder , the HTTP input services and its associated secrets were not deleted. With this update, the HTTP input resources are deleted when not needed. ( LOG-4612 ) Before this update, the ClusterLogForwarder indicated validation errors in the status, but the outputs and the pipeline status did not accurately reflect the specific issues. With this update, the pipeline status displays the validation failure reasons correctly in case of misconfigured outputs, inputs, or filters. ( LOG-4821 ) Before this update, changing a LogQL query that used controls such as time range or severity changed the label matcher operator defining it like a regular expression. With this update, regular expression operators remain unchanged when updating the query. ( LOG-4841 ) 1.2.18.3.

Logging 5.8.0 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.0 and OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.8.0 Kibana . 1.2.19.1. Deprecation notice In Logging 5.8, Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana are deprecated and are planned to be removed in Logging 6.0, which is expected to be shipped alongside a future release of OpenShift Container Platform. Red Hat will provide critical and above CVE bug fixes and support for these components during the current release lifecycle, but these components will no longer receive feature enhancements. The Vector-based collector provided by the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator and LokiStack provided by the Loki Operator are the preferred Operators for log collection and storage. We encourage all users to adopt the Vector and Loki log stack, as this will be the stack that will be enhanced going forward. 1.2.19.2. Enhancements 1.2.19.2.1. Log Collection With this update, the LogFileMetricExporter is no longer deployed with the collector by default. You must manually create a LogFileMetricExporter custom resource (CR) to generate metrics from the logs produced by running containers. If you do not create the LogFileMetricExporter CR, you may see a No datapoints found message in the OpenShift Container Platform web console dashboard for Produced Logs . ( LOG-3819 ) With this update, you can deploy multiple, isolated, and RBAC-protected ClusterLogForwarder custom resource (CR) instances in any namespace. This allows independent groups to forward desired logs to any destination while isolating their configuration from other collector deployments. ( LOG-1343 ) Important In order to support multi-cluster log forwarding in additional namespaces other than the openshift-logging namespace, you must update the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator to watch all namespaces. This functionality is supported by default in new Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator version 5.8 installations. With this update, you can use the flow control or rate limiting mechanism to limit the volume of log data that can be collected or forwarded by dropping excess log records. The input limits prevent poorly-performing containers from overloading the Logging and the output limits put a ceiling on the rate of logs shipped to a given data store. ( LOG-884 ) With this update, you can configure the log collector to look for HTTP connections and receive logs as an HTTP server, also known as a webhook. ( LOG-4562 ) With this update, you can configure audit polices to control which Kubernetes and OpenShift API server events are forwarded by the log collector. ( LOG-3982 ) 1.2.19.2.2. Log Storage With this update, LokiStack administrators can have more fine-grained control over who can access which logs by granting access to logs on a namespace basis. ( LOG-3841 ) With this update, the Loki Operator introduces PodDisruptionBudget configuration on LokiStack deployments to ensure normal operations during OpenShift Container Platform cluster restarts by keeping ingestion and the query path available. ( LOG-3839 ) With this update, the reliability of existing LokiStack installations are seamlessly improved by applying a set of default Affinity and Anti-Affinity policies. ( LOG-3840 ) With this update, you can manage zone-aware data replication as an administrator in LokiStack, in order to enhance reliability in the event of a zone failure. ( LOG-3266 ) With this update, a new supported small-scale LokiStack size of 1x.extra-small is introduced for OpenShift Container Platform clusters hosting a few workloads and smaller ingestion volumes (up to 100GB/day). ( LOG-4329 ) With this update, the LokiStack administrator has access to an official Loki dashboard to inspect the storage performance and the health of each component. ( LOG-4327 ) 1.2.19.2.3. Log Console With this update, you can enable the Logging Console Plugin when Elasticsearch is the default Log Store. ( LOG-3856 ) With this update, OpenShift Container Platform application owners can receive notifications for application log-based alerts on the OpenShift Container Platform web console Developer perspective for OpenShift Container Platform version 4.14 and later. ( LOG-3548 ) 1.2.19.3. Known Issues Currently, Splunk log forwarding might not work after upgrading to version 5.8 of the Red Hat OpenShift Logging Operator. This issue is caused by transitioning from OpenSSL version 1.1.1 to version 3.0.7. In the newer OpenSSL version, there is a default behavior change, where connections to TLS 1.2 endpoints are rejected if they do not expose the RFC 5746 extension. As a workaround, enable TLS 1.3 support on the TLS terminating load balancer in front of the Splunk HEC (HTTP Event Collector) endpoint. Splunk is a third-party system and this should be configured from the Splunk end. Currently, there is a flaw in handling multiplexed streams in the HTTP/2 protocol, where you can repeatedly make a request for a new multiplex stream and immediately send an RST_STREAM frame to cancel it. This created extra work for the server set up and tore down the streams, resulting in a denial of service due to server resource consumption. There is currently no workaround for this issue. ( LOG-4609 ) Currently, when using FluentD as the collector, the collector pod cannot start on the OpenShift Container Platform IPv6-enabled cluster. The pod logs produce the fluentd pod [error]: unexpected error error_class=SocketError error="getaddrinfo: Name or service not known error. There is currently no workaround for this issue. ( LOG-4706 ) Currently, the log alert is not available on an IPv6-enabled cluster. There is currently no workaround for this issue. ( LOG-4709 ) Currently, must-gather cannot gather any logs on a FIPS-enabled cluster, because the required OpenSSL library is not available in the cluster-logging-rhel9-operator . There is currently no workaround for this issue. ( LOG-4403 ) Currently, when deploying the logging version 5.8 on a FIPS-enabled cluster, the collector pods cannot start and are stuck in CrashLoopBackOff status, while using FluentD as a collector. There is currently no workaround for this issue. ( LOG-3933 ) 1.2.19.4. CVEs CVE-2023-40217 1.3. Logging 5.7 Note Logging is provided as an installable component, with a distinct release cycle from the core OpenShift Container Platform. The Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Life Cycle Policy outlines release compatibility. Note The stable channel only provides updates to the most recent release of logging. To continue receiving updates for prior releases, you must change your subscription channel to stable-x.y , where x.y represents the major and minor version of logging you have installed. For example, stable-5.7 . 1.3.1. Logging 5.7.15 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix 5.7.15 . 1.3.1.1. Bug fixes Before this update, there was a delay in restarting Ingesters when configuring LokiStack , because the Loki Operator sets the write-ahead log replay_memory_ceiling to zero bytes for the 1x.demo size. With this update, the minimum value used for the replay_memory_ceiling has been increased to avoid delays. ( LOG-5616 ) 1.3.1.2.

Logging 5.7.14 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix 5.7.14 . 1.3.2.1. Bug fixes Before this update, an issue in the metrics collection code of the Logging Operator caused it to report stale telemetry metrics. With this update, the Logging Operator does not report stale telemetry metrics. ( LOG-5472 ) 1.3.2.2. CVEs CVE-2023-45288 CVE-2023-52425 CVE-2024-2961 CVE-2024-21011 CVE-2024-21012 CVE-2024-21068 CVE-2024-21085 CVE-2024-21094 CVE-2024-28834 1.3.3. Logging 5.7.13 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix 5.7.13 . 1.3.3.1. Enhancements Before this update, the Loki Operator configured Loki to use path-based style access for the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), which has been deprecated. With this update, the Loki Operator defaults to virtual-host style without users needing to change their configuration. ( LOG-5403 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not validate the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) endpoint used in the storage secret. With this update, the validation process ensures the S3 endpoint is a valid S3 URL, and the LokiStack status updates to indicate any invalid URLs. ( LOG-5393 ) 1.3.3.2. Bug fixes Before this update, the Elastisearch Operator ServiceMonitor in the openshift-operators-redhat namespace used static token and certificate authority (CA) files for authentication, causing errors in the Prometheus Operator in the User Workload Monitoring specification on the ServiceMonitor configuration. With this update, the Elastisearch Operator ServiceMonitor in the openshift-operators-redhat namespace now references a service account token secret by a LocalReference object. This approach allows the User Workload Monitoring specifications in the Prometheus Operator to handle the Elastisearch Operator ServiceMonitor successfully. This enables Prometheus to scrape the Elastisearch Operator metrics. ( LOG-5243 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not validate the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) endpoint URL format used in the storage secret. With this update, the S3 endpoint URL goes through a validation step that reflects on the status of the LokiStack . ( LOG-5399 ) 1.3.3.3.

Logging 5.7.12 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix 5.7.12 . 1.3.4.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the Loki Operator checked if the pods were running to decide if the LokiStack was ready. With this update, it also checks if the pods are ready, so that the readiness of the LokiStack reflects the state of its components. ( LOG-5172 ) Before this update, the Red Hat build pipeline didn't use the existing build details in Loki builds and omitted information such as revision, branch, and version. With this update, the Red Hat build pipeline now adds these details to the Loki builds, fixing the issue. ( LOG-5202 ) Before this update, the configuration of the Loki Operator's ServiceMonitor could match many Kubernetes services, resulting in the Loki Operator's metrics being collected multiple times. With this update, the configuration of ServiceMonitor now only matches the dedicated metrics service. ( LOG-5251 ) Before this update, the build pipeline did not include linker flags for the build date, causing Loki builds to show empty strings for buildDate and goVersion . With this update, adding the missing linker flags in the build pipeline fixes the issue. ( LOG-5275 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor in the openshift-operators-redhat namespace used static token and CA files for authentication, causing errors in the Prometheus Operator in the User Workload Monitoring spec on the ServiceMonitor configuration. With this update, the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor in openshift-operators-redhat namespace now references a service account token secret by a LocalReference object. This approach allows the User Workload Monitoring spec in the Prometheus Operator to handle the Loki Operator ServiceMonitor successfully, enabling Prometheus to scrape the Loki Operator metrics.

Logging 5.7.9 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.7.9 . 1.3.7.1. Bug fixes Before this fix, IPv6 addresses would not be parsed correctly after evaluating a host or multiple hosts for placeholders. With this update, IPv6 addresses are correctly parsed. ( LOG-4281 ) Before this update, the Vector failed to start on IPv4-only nodes. As a result, it failed to create a listener for its metrics endpoint with the following error: Failed to start Prometheus exporter: TCP bind failed: Address family not supported by protocol (os error 97) . With this update, the Vector operates normally on IPv4-only nodes. ( LOG-4589 ) Before this update, during the process of creating index patterns, the default alias was missing from the initial index in each log output. As a result, Kibana users were unable to create index patterns by using OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator. This update adds the missing aliases to OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator, resolving the issue. Kibana users can now create index patterns that include the {app,infra,audit}-000001 indexes. ( LOG-4806 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator did not mount a custom CA bundle to the ruler pods. As a result, during the process to evaluate alerting or recording rules, object storage access failed. With this update, the Loki Operator mounts the custom CA bundle to all ruler pods. The ruler pods can download logs from object storage to evaluate alerting or recording rules. ( LOG-4837 ) Before this update, changing a LogQL query using controls such as time range or severity changed the label matcher operator as though it was defined like a regular expression. With this update, regular expression operators remain unchanged when updating the query. ( LOG-4842 ) Before this update, the Vector collector deployments relied upon the default retry and buffering behavior. As a result, the delivery pipeline backed up trying to deliver every message when the availability of an output was unstable. With this update, the Vector collector deployments limit the number of message retries and drop messages after the threshold has been exceeded. ( LOG-4536 ) 1.3.7.2.

Logging 5.7.8 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.7.8 . 1.3.8.1. Bug fixes Before this update, there was a potential conflict when the same name was used for the outputRefs and inputRefs parameters in the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource (CR). As a result, the collector pods entered in a CrashLoopBackOff status. With this update, the output labels contain the OUTPUT_ prefix to ensure a distinction between output labels and pipeline names. ( LOG-4383 ) Before this update, while configuring the JSON log parser, if you did not set the structuredTypeKey or structuredTypeName parameters for the Cluster Logging Operator, no alert would display about an invalid configuration. With this update, the Cluster Logging Operator informs you about the configuration issue. ( LOG-4441 ) Before this update, if the hecToken key was missing or incorrect in the secret specified for a Splunk output, the validation failed because the Vector forwarded logs to Splunk without a token. With this update, if the hecToken key is missing or incorrect, the validation fails with the A non-empty hecToken entry is required error message. ( LOG-4580 ) Before this update, selecting a date from the Custom time range for logs caused an error in the web console. With this update, you can select a date from the time range model in the web console successfully. ( LOG-4684 ) 1.3.8.2. CVEs CVE-2023-40217 CVE-2023-44487 1.3.9. Logging 5.7.7 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.7.7 . 1.3.9.1. Bug fixes Before this update, FluentD normalized the logs emitted by the EventRouter differently from Vector. With this update, the Vector produces log records in a consistent format. ( LOG-4178 ) Before this update, there was an error in the query used for the FluentD Buffer Availability graph in the metrics dashboard created by the Cluster Logging Operator as it showed the minimum buffer usage. With this update, the graph shows the maximum buffer usage and is now renamed to FluentD Buffer Usage . ( LOG-4555 ) Before this update, deploying a LokiStack on IPv6-only or dual-stack OpenShift Container Platform clusters caused the LokiStack memberlist registration to fail. As a result, the distributor pods went into a crash loop. With this update, an administrator can enable IPv6 by setting the lokistack.spec.hashRing.memberlist.enableIPv6: value to true , which resolves the issue. ( LOG-4569 ) Before this update, the log collector relied on the default configuration settings for reading the container log lines. As a result, the log collector did not read the rotated files efficiently. With this update, there is an increase in the number of bytes read, which allows the log collector to efficiently process rotated files. ( LOG-4575 ) Before this update, the unused metrics in the Event Router caused the container to fail due to excessive memory usage. With this update, there is reduction in the memory usage of the Event Router by removing the unused metrics. ( LOG-4686 ) 1.3.9.2.

Logging 5.7.6 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.7.6 . 1.3.10.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the collector relied on the default configuration settings for reading the container log lines. As a result, the collector did not read the rotated files efficiently. With this update, there is an increase in the number of bytes read, which allows the collector to efficiently process rotated files. ( LOG-4501 ) Before this update, when users pasted a URL with predefined filters, some filters did not reflect. With this update, the UI reflects all the filters in the URL. ( LOG-4459 ) Before this update, forwarding to Loki using custom labels generated an error when switching from Fluentd to Vector. With this update, the Vector configuration sanitizes labels in the same way as Fluentd to ensure the collector starts and correctly processes labels. ( LOG-4460 ) Before this update, the Observability Logs console search field did not accept special characters that it should escape. With this update, it is escaping special characters properly in the query. ( LOG-4456 ) Before this update, the following warning message appeared while sending logs to Splunk: Timestamp was not found. With this update, the change overrides the name of the log field used to retrieve the Timestamp and sends it to Splunk without warning. ( LOG-4413 ) Before this update, the CPU and memory usage of Vector was increasing over time. With this update, the Vector configuration now contains the expire_metrics_secs=60 setting to limit the lifetime of the metrics and cap the associated CPU usage and memory footprint. ( LOG-4171 ) Before this update, the LokiStack gateway cached authorized requests very broadly. As a result, this caused wrong authorization results. With this update, LokiStack gateway caches on a more fine-grained basis which resolves this issue. ( LOG-4393 ) Before this update, the Fluentd runtime image included builder tools which were unnecessary at runtime. With this update, the builder tools are removed, resolving the issue.

Bug fixes Before this update, when forwarding logs to CloudWatch, a namespaceUUID value was not appended to the logGroupName field. With this update, the namespaceUUID value is included, so a logGroupName in CloudWatch appears as logGroupName: vectorcw.b443fb9e-bd4c-4b6a-b9d3-c0097f9ed286 . ( LOG-2701 ) Before this update, when forwarding logs over HTTP to an off-cluster destination, the Vector collector was unable to authenticate to the cluster-wide HTTP proxy even though correct credentials were provided in the proxy URL. With this update, the Vector log collector can now authenticate to the cluster-wide HTTP proxy. ( LOG-3381 ) Before this update, the Operator would fail if the Fluentd collector was configured with Splunk as an output, due to this configuration being unsupported. With this update, configuration validation rejects unsupported outputs, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4237 ) Before this update, when the Vector collector was updated an enabled = true value in the TLS configuration for AWS Cloudwatch logs and the GCP Stackdriver caused a configuration error. With this update, enabled = true value will be removed for these outputs, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4242 ) Before this update, the Vector collector occasionally panicked with the following error message in its log: thread 'vector-worker' panicked at 'all branches are disabled and there is no else branch', src/kubernetes/reflector.rs:26:9 . With this update, the error has been resolved. ( LOG-4275 ) Before this update, an issue in the Loki Operator caused the alert-manager configuration for the application tenant to disappear if the Operator was configured with additional options for that tenant. With this update, the generated Loki configuration now contains both the custom and the auto-generated configuration. ( LOG-4361 ) Before this update, when multiple roles were used to authenticate using STS with AWS Cloudwatch forwarding, a recent update caused the credentials to be non-unique. With this update, multiple combinations of STS roles and static credentials can once again be used to authenticate with AWS Cloudwatch. ( LOG-4368 ) Before this update, Loki filtered label values for active streams but did not remove duplicates, making Grafana's Label Browser unusable. With this update, Loki filters out duplicate label values for active streams, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4389 ) Pipelines with no name field specified in the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource (CR) stopped working after upgrading to OpenShift Logging 5.7. With this update, the error has been resolved. ( LOG-4120 ) 1.3.11.2. CVEs CVE-2022-25883 CVE-2023-22796 1.3.12. Logging 5.7.3 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.7.3 . 1.3.12.1. Bug fixes Before this update, when viewing logs within the OpenShift Container Platform web console, cached files caused the data to not refresh. With this update the bootstrap files are not cached, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4100 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator reset errors in a way that made identifying configuration problems difficult to troubleshoot. With this update, errors persist until the configuration error is resolved. ( LOG-4156 ) Before this update, the LokiStack ruler did not restart after changes were made to the RulerConfig custom resource (CR). With this update, the Loki Operator restarts the ruler pods after the RulerConfig CR is updated. ( LOG-4161 ) Before this update, the vector collector terminated unexpectedly when input match label values contained a / character within the ClusterLogForwarder . This update resolves the issue by quoting the match label, enabling the collector to start and collect logs. ( LOG-4176 ) Before this update, the Loki Operator terminated unexpectedly when a LokiStack CR defined tenant limits, but not global limits. With this update, the Loki Operator can process LokiStack CRs without global limits, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4198 ) Before this update, Fluentd did not send logs to an Elasticsearch cluster when the private key provided was passphrase-protected. With this update, Fluentd properly handles passphrase-protected private keys when establishing a connection with Elasticsearch. ( LOG-4258 ) Before this update, clusters with more than 8,000 namespaces caused Elasticsearch to reject queries because the list of namespaces was larger than the http.max_header_size setting. With this update, the default value for header size has been increased, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4277 ) Before this update, label values containing a / character within the ClusterLogForwarder CR would cause the collector to terminate unexpectedly. With this update, slashes are replaced with underscores, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4095 ) Before this update, the Cluster Logging Operator terminated unexpectedly when set to an unmanaged state. With this update, a check to ensure that the ClusterLogging resource is in the correct Management state before initiating the reconciliation of the ClusterLogForwarder CR, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4177 ) Before this update, when viewing logs within the OpenShift Container Platform web console, selecting a time range by dragging over the histogram didn't work on the aggregated logs view inside the pod detail. With this update, the time range can be selected by dragging on the histogram in this view. ( LOG-4108 ) Before this update, when viewing logs within the OpenShift Container Platform web console, queries longer than 30 seconds timed out. With this update, the timeout value can be configured in the configmap/logging-view-plugin. ( LOG-3498 ) Before this update, when viewing logs within the OpenShift Container Platform web console, clicking the more data available option loaded more log entries only the first time it was clicked. With this update, more entries are loaded with each click. ( OU-188 ) Before this update, when viewing logs within the OpenShift Container Platform web console, clicking the streaming option would only display the streaming logs message without showing the actual logs. With this update, both the message and the log stream are displayed correctly. ( OU-166 ) 1.3.12.2.

Logging 5.7.2 This release includes OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.7.2 . 1.3.13.1. Bug fixes Before this update, it was not possible to delete the openshift-logging namespace directly due to the presence of a pending finalizer. With this update, the finalizer is no longer utilized, enabling direct deletion of the namespace. ( LOG-3316 ) Before this update, the run.sh script would display an incorrect chunk_limit_size value if it was changed according to the OpenShift Container Platform documentation. However, when setting the chunk_limit_size via the environment variable USDBUFFER_SIZE_LIMIT , the script would show the correct value. With this update, the run.sh script now consistently displays the correct chunk_limit_size value in both scenarios. ( LOG-3330 ) Before this update, the OpenShift Container Platform web console's logging view plugin did not allow for custom node placement or tolerations. This update adds the ability to define node placement and tolerations for the logging view plugin. ( LOG-3749 ) Before this update, the Cluster Logging Operator encountered an Unsupported Media Type exception when trying to send logs to DataDog via the Fluentd HTTP Plugin. With this update, users can seamlessly assign the content type for log forwarding by configuring the HTTP header Content-Type. The value provided is automatically assigned to the content_type parameter within the plugin, ensuring successful log transmission. ( LOG-3784 ) Before this update, when the detectMultilineErrors field was set to true in the ClusterLogForwarder custom resource (CR), PHP multi-line errors were recorded as separate log entries, causing the stack trace to be split across multiple messages. With this update, multi-line error detection for PHP is enabled, ensuring that the entire stack trace is included in a single log message. ( LOG-3878 ) Before this update, ClusterLogForwarder pipelines containing a space in their name caused the Vector collector pods to continuously crash. With this update, all spaces, dashes (-), and dots (.) in pipeline names are replaced with underscores (_). ( LOG-3945 ) Before this update, the log_forwarder_output metric did not include the http parameter. This update adds the missing parameter to the metric. ( LOG-3997 ) Before this update, Fluentd did not identify some multi-line JavaScript client exceptions when they ended with a colon. With this update, the Fluentd buffer name is prefixed with an underscore, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4019 ) Before this update, when configuring log forwarding to write to a Kafka output topic which matched a key in the payload, logs dropped due to an error. With this update, Fluentd's buffer name has been prefixed with an underscore, resolving the issue.( LOG-4027 ) Before this update, the LokiStack gateway returned label values for namespaces without applying the access rights of a user. With this update, the LokiStack gateway applies permissions to label value requests, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4049 ) Before this update, the Cluster Logging Operator API required a certificate to be provided by a secret when the tls.insecureSkipVerify option was set to true . With this update, the Cluster Logging Operator API no longer requires a certificate to be provided by a secret in such cases. The following configuration has been added to the Operator's CR: tls.verify_certificate = false tls.verify_hostname = false ( LOG-3445 ) Before this update, the LokiStack route configuration caused queries running longer than 30 seconds to timeout. With this update, the LokiStack global and per-tenant queryTimeout settings affect the route timeout settings, resolving the issue. ( LOG-4052 ) Before this update, a prior fix to remove defaulting of the collection.type resulted in the Operator no longer honoring the deprecated specs for resource, node selections, and tolerations. This update modifies the Operator behavior to always prefer the collection.logs spec over those of collection . This varies from behavior that allowed using both the preferred fields and deprecated fields but would ignore the deprecated fields when collection.type was populated. ( LOG-4185 ) Before this update, the Vector log collector did not generate TLS configuration for forwarding logs to multiple Kafka brokers if the broker URLs were not specified in the output. With this update, TLS configuration is generated appropriately for multiple brokers. ( LOG-4163 ) Before this update, the option to enable passphrase for log forwarding to Kafka was unavailable. This limitation presented a security risk as it could potentially expose sensitive information. With this update, users now have a seamless option to enable passphrase for log forwarding to Kafka. ( LOG-3314 ) Before this update, Vector log collector did not honor the tlsSecurityProfile settings for outgoing TLS connections. After this update, Vector handles TLS connection settings appropriately. ( LOG-4011 ) Before this update, not all available output types were included in the log_forwarder_output_info metrics. With this update, metrics contain Splunk and Google Cloud Logging data which was missing previously. ( LOG-4098 ) Before this update, when follow_inodes was set to true , the Fluentd collector could crash on file rotation. With this update, the follow_inodes setting does not crash the collector. ( LOG-4151 ) Before this update, the Fluentd collector could incorrectly close files that should be watched because of how those files were tracked. With this update, the tracking parameters have been corrected. ( LOG-4149 ) Before this update, forwarding logs with the Vector collector and naming a pipeline in the ClusterLogForwarder instance audit , application or infrastructure resulted in collector pods staying in the CrashLoopBackOff state with the following error in the collector log: ERROR vector::cli: Configuration error. error=redefinition of table transforms.audit for key transforms.audit After this update, pipeline names no longer clash with reserved input names, and pipelines can be named audit , application or infrastructure . ( LOG-4218 ) Before this update, when forwarding logs to a syslog destination with the Vector collector and setting the addLogSource flag to true , the following extra empty fields were added to the forwarded messages: namespace_name= , container_name= , and pod_name= . With this update, these fields are no longer added to journal logs. ( LOG-4219 ) Before this update, when a structuredTypeKey was not found, and a structuredTypeName was not specified, log messages were still parsed into structured object. With this update, parsing of logs is as expected. ( LOG-4220 ) 1.3.13.2.

Logging 5.7.1 This release includes: OpenShift Logging Bug Fix Release 5.7.1 . 1.3.14.1. Bug fixes Before this update, the presence of numerous noisy messages within the Cluster Logging Operator pod logs caused reduced log readability, and increased difficulty in identifying important system events. With this update, the issue is resolved by significantly reducing the noisy messages within Cluster Logging Operator pod logs. ( LOG-3482 ) Before this update, the API server would reset the value for the CollectorSpec.Type field to vector , even when the custom resource used a different value. This update removes the default for the CollectorSpec.Type field to restore the behavior. ( LOG-4086 ) Before this update, a time range could not be selected in the OpenShift Container Platform web console by clicking and dragging over the logs histogram. With this update, clicking and dragging can be used to successfully select a time range. ( LOG-4501 ) Before this update, clicking on the Show Resources link in the OpenShift Container Platform web console did not produce any effect. With this update, the issue is resolved by fixing the functionality of the "Show Resources" link to toggle the display of resources for each log entry. ( LOG-3218 ) 1.3.14.2.
