New Features

  • S3 Input Compression Selection Support: Compression options for the S3 Input node have been expanded. You can now select from “gzip”, “zstd”, “snappy”, and “uncompressed” compression types. This update allows for better support of AWS logs such as ALB and CloudTrail.
  • HTTP Protocol Support for OTLP Input Nodes: The OTLP Input node now supports HTTP in addition to gRPC, providing more flexibility in how you can send OTLP data to the Edge Delta agent.

Security Fixes

  • Environment Variable Masking: Environment variables loaded by the agent are now masked before being written to logs, ensuring sensitive information is protected.
  • gRPC Metadata Security Fix: Addressed a potential PII concern where gRPC metadata, which may include private information, was being logged. The gRPC version has been updated to address this.

Improvements

  • Granular Stream Stats for Port-based Outputs: Enhanced metrics for outputs using ports now include more granular stream stats, providing detailed insights into data streams.

Bug Fixes

  • JSON Unroll Casting and Validation Fix: Fixed an unexpected behavior in JSON Unroll casting. Also corrected JSON Unroll config validation.
  • ED_ENV_VARS Functionality Fix: Resolved an issue where the ED_ENV_VARS functionality was not working for users trying to pass their variables to the Agent on Linux and macOS.
  • Kubernetes Short-lived Container Status Fix: Fixed an out-of-bounds error in Source Detection.
  • Improved Grok Processor Handling of Redis Logs: Enhanced the Grok node to better handle Redis logs, improving log parsing accuracy.
  • Support for ed_logs Node Type: The agent now accepts ed_logs as a valid node type.
