Release Notes

Diagrid Conductor releases happen weekly on Thursday during North American working hours. This page provides highlights for each release.

To ensure updates to the Conductor agent are applied to your cluster with each release, you can enable Automatically Upgrade Agent in the cluster connection settings. However, if you prefer to manually upgrade the agent after a release, you will need to download the updated cluster manifests from the Cluster Summary page and reapply them to your connected cluster.

• Notification Events Dashboard: Provides a view of log and metric notification events targeting the Conductor notification channel
• Notifications Management: Provides a tabbed interface where you may create, view, and delete Notification Channels and Alert Rules
  • Notification Channels: Notification Channels listen for broadcasts matching alert rules that use the same targets and severities. There are two types of Notification channels in the Conductor - Metrics and Logs.
    • Metric Notification: When creating a metric notification you will target one or more clusters, select the severity the notification should subscribe to, and select what channels to configure; Conductor, email, and webhook.
      • Email requires an email to receive email notification events.
      • Webhook requires a URL and either a username & password or token for the basic and bearer auth types respectively.
      • Conductor allows events to flow into the Notifications Dashboard page. Note: Currently this is not the default to prevent the notification events from being unnecessarily busy, but we're very interested in your feedback regarding this.
    • Log Notification: When creating a log notification you will target one or more clusters, select the severity the notification should subscribe to, and select what channels to configure; Currently only the Conductor channel is available.
  • Alert Rules: Alert rules define the criteria that trigger broadcasts on one or more matching notification channels. There are two types of Alerts in the Conductor UI, metrics and logs.
    • Metric Alert: When creating a metric alert you will select an application target, the severity of the alert, and a metric to watch. Additionally, you will be required to select the operator (greater or less), threshold, and time duration for the selected metric. Note that the threshold will change based on the selected metric and includes a unit automatically. For example, CPU usage is defined in cores where Memory Usage is expressed in bytes.
    • Log Alert: When creating a log alert you may select from a list of cluster or cluster-specific application targets, the severity of the alert, and the log levels to trigger the alert broadcast.
