Logging 5.8

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)

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 subsystem 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)

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)

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)
