Stuck and Failed Parser Detection | To keep Log Ingestion and Messaging Engine (LIME) running, your system detects stuck and failed parsers early and pauses them. Parsers use regular expressions to extract data from logs. If these regular expressions are incorrect, parsers can enter an infinite loop and get stuck, or fail with a non-timeout exception. Sometimes, parsers can also get stuck when it can't parse incorrect input data. When parsers fail or get stuck, LIME stops working because it can't move forward until the previous parser is done processing. Now, if a parser takes too long to process, a mechanism pauses those parsers to keep your system running. If the parser exceeds a configured time limit, your system fails the parser with a timeout exception, logs the error at a After your system pauses a stuck or failed parser, you can view the parser in the list of paused parsers under System Health. You do not receive a system health alert when a stuck or failed parsers is paused, but you will continue to receive a system health alert when a slow parser is paused.

Optimized Histograms | To stabilize your system and keep it running, histograms now consume less memory. Previously, histograms used up to half of the Analytics Engine's long-term memory. Of the memory histograms used, two-thirds was attributed to its data structure. To free memory on your system and keep important services running, histograms now use a data structure that consumes less memory. With this new data structure, your system uses less heap space in Java and runs out of memory less frequently. |
Refined Health Checks | To streamline System Health visibility for your deployments, you now see only the relevant health checks for cloud-delivered deployments. You no longer see health checks that apply only to hardware or virtual deployments. |
