Open Known issues Copied

These are the known issues affecting this release:

Issue key Known issue description
HASA-393 In some scenarios, the UI can make excessive requests for severity timelines. These should be aborted.
HASA-395 The KPI cards may be cropped if large counts are displayed and sufficient screen space is not available.
HASA-504 After selecting a context in the Entity Alerts screen, a filter is also added. If the filter is removed, the displayed results do not match with the selected group in the context.
HASA-505 When you select a context in the Alerting app and go to the System Overview app to make changes in the Group by and Filter fields, the changes are not retained in the Entity Alerts screen. For the changes to reflect in Entity Alerts, you have to clear the context and select the same one again.

Obcerv App Query Service 1.8.0 Copied

Released: 31 May 2023

New features and enhancements Copied

These are the new features and enhancements of this release:

ESCA-392 QuerySignalBucketedCounts, used by the Signal KPI view in the Alerting app, has been updated so the Distinct Entity KPI now shows the distinct count for entities with triggered signals. Prior to this change, the count was calculated as the distinct entities with transitioned signals.
ESCA-395 Obcerv Platform version 1.3.0 replaces the last-observed attribute with an inactive-since attribute, reducing the number of entity updates sent to the Query Service each hour. Query Service version 1.5.0 and earlier versions are not compatible with Obcerv Platform 1.3.0.

Released: 13 December 2022

New features and enhancements Copied

These are the new features and enhancements of this release:

Issue key Release description
ESCA-301 PostgreSQL has been upgraded to version 15.
ESCA-341 A streaming event ticker endpoint has been created. This enables adding multiple named filters, which can be used to associate events with the groups in the UI.
ESCA-342 Optimised queryKeys by moving the join to the Names table last in the query plan.
ESCA-343 Removed the redundant join when the EntityFilter is empty.
ESCA-345 The index now only scans for GetEntitySeverity, which reduces the amount of data needed.
ESCA-346 Removed the following unused fields: EntitySummaryStatistics.entity_count_unclassified_roots from the API and is_root from the database schema.
ESCA-348 Improved index performance by batch inserting the attribute history
ESCA-349 Default PostgreSQL CPU settings have been updated.

ESCA-368 Consecutive NONE signals are dropped since they are of no interest to the Query Service, freeing up storage space.
ESCA-370 A unique index for the Signals table has been added, which resolves an issue where the table could contain duplicated rows if the sink is restarted.

Obcerv App Query Service 1.4.0 Copied

Released: 9 November 2022

ESCA-300 A database trigger for signals has been replaced with a cache for faster inserts.
ESCA-302 To optimise insert performance, fsync and full_page_writes have been turned off. By disabling PostgreSQL durability features and guarantees, App Query Service is bootstrapped from the Obcerv Platform on start-up and can deal with a corrupted state.
ESCA-303 Unlogged tables are now used to improve insert performance.
ESCA-307 PostgreSQL settings are now automatically adjusted based on available memory.

Issue key Release description
ESCA-286 Entities that have a severity status or are snoozed now get indexed regardless of their age to ensure that Overview app data (tree view) remains consistent.
ESCA-292 The materialised hierarchy view has been removed. This improves performance since the view consumes a lot of CPU resources and takes a long time to update when there is a large number of entities in the system.
ESCA-294 The QuerySignalInfo endpoint has been removed since the Alerting app now uses new endpoints which are based on the Obcerv Platform attribute history.
ESCA-296 Free-text search no longer searches for descendants. This feature has been removed since it causes performance issues in the App Query Service.
ESCA-297 The SQL query for free-text search has been optimised.

Open known issues Copied

These are the known issues affecting this release:

Issue key Known issue description
OAFM-162 Sometimes after the obcerv-app-fix-monitor-bff-daemon-* pod restarts, the application cannot re-subscribe to the DPD log filter. When this happens, no new incoming data is received.

To confirm this is the case, check the logs for this message:

2023-07-11T12:58:45.789Z [grpc-client-obcerv-app-data-pipeline-service-client-0] 
INFO com.itrsgroup.obcerv.app.fixmonitor.service.FixmonitorGrpcService(FIX Monitor) - 
Error on pipeline log task subscription - will resubscribe

To resolve the issue:

  1. Uninstall the FIX Monitor app.
  2. Ensure that the two PVCs for the application are deleted.
  3. Re-install the FIX Monitor app.
OAFM-192 The values in the KPI boxes show the delta of a metric over a time range (last-logon and now), while the time-series graph for the same metric displays the actual value of the metric over the same time range. These values will not match.
OAFM-195 The end of the session status timeline does not always match the Last Status value. This is because the timeline displays bucketed time ranges for every “x” minutes in the past. Some time needs to pass before the end of the timeline will start showing the same value as the Last Status.
OAFM-212 The persistent volume claim (PVC) that holds FIX message data can run out of disk space.

To confirm this is the case, check the logs for these messages:

2023-09-07T16:09:35.021Z [fix-monitor-app-FIXMessagePipeline-0] 
ERROR com.itrsgroup.obcerv.app.fixmonitor.service.FixmonitorGrpcService(FIX Monitor) - Unhandled exception

java.io.UncheckedIOException: java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /data/index/TARGET_SENDER: No space left on device

To resolve the issue:

  1. Scale the obcerv-app-fixmonitor-bff-daemon deployment to 0.
  2. Increase the size of the obcerv-app-fixmonitor-bff-daemon-index PVC.
  3. Scale the deployment back to 1.
