This topic describes the release notes for Simple Log Service Logtail and provides links to the relevant references.

2.0.8

Release date: August 13, 2024

  • Fixed issues

    • In Logtail V2.0.7, a token that is requested when you use environment variables to configure collection settings can expire. This issue is fixed.

2.0.7

Release date: July 31, 2024

  • Fixed issues

    • If a zero-byte string in a JSON log is escaped, the log is truncated. This issue is fixed.

    • When the system calls the gethostbyname method, which is not thread safe, a coredump occurs. This issue is fixed.

    • When you use OpenTelemetry to parse gauge metrics, labels are lost. This issue is fixed.

    • When a program resumes data consumption from a checkpoint, a large number of files may be generated due to rotation, and the length of the reader queue may be exceeded. As a result, the data consumption fails to be resumed. In addition, a new reader incorrectly reads the checkpoint of an existing reader during inode reuse. In this case, truncation and duplicate collection occur. This issue is fixed.

    • When you use the input_canel plug-in, the global transaction identifier (GTID) is inaccurate. This issue is fixed.

    • When the resource usage exceeds the hard limit, Logtail stops responding. This issue is fixed.

    • In stdout and stderr collection scenarios, Logtail plug-ins encounter panic errors when the GetRealPath function is called. This issue is fixed.

    • When you use Logtail configurations that contain extended plug-in settings to collect self-monitoring logs of Distributed System Performance Monitor, the logs are lost. This issue is fixed.
