Ascent 2.10.4

We are pleased to announce the release of Ascent v2.10.4, which brings important performance optimizations, stability improvements, and functional enhancements across the platform.

Flow

Improvements

Ingestion Stability and Metric Accuracy

  • Dedicated Ingest Routing: All ingest endpoints are now routed exclusively to ingest nodes to reduce latency, eliminate conflicts, and improve path separation.

  • Shard Locking for Inserter: Replaced global locks with shard-level locks in the ingestion layer to prevent deadlocks and improve concurrency safety.

  • Batch Size Metric Fix: Corrected the calculation of JSON batch sizes in metric outputs — metrics now represent per-batch payload size instead of total stream size.

  • Rate Limiting Revamp: Introduced a configurable leaky-bucket algorithm for ingest rate limiting with burst handling and fine-grained limiter options.

  • Fixed an issue where log entries associated with default_namespace were not visible in log explorer views.

Vault & Configuration Variables

Improvements

  • Fixed a critical issue where Vault-stored variables failed to persist due to stale distributed cache states. The cache parameters have been tuned for distributed consistency.

Regex Validation (RE2)

  • Regex validation improvements:

    • Server errors now shown in UI with contextual error messages.

    • Removed the 3-character minimum input constraint.

    • Added help link for RE2 syntax reference.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue where help documentation for rule-based code blocks failed to load in the UI.

  • Removed redundant duplicated Pipelines & Rules tabs in the pipeline page.

Ascent Synthetics

Scenario Management

Improvements

  • Resolved visual duplication issue in Scenario Management when editing existing scenarios.

Checks & Monitoring

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved incorrect check behavior where frequency-based scheduled checks appeared as "manual" runs in the UI.

Observe

Dashboards & Visualization

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue where some dashboards failed to import in preview mode due to serialization mismatches.

  • Addressed failure of dashboard import from shared URL links.

Platform-Wide Improvements

License banner

  • Updated ADF license banner with correct Apica email address.
