2.5.0

Upgrading

Warning

This release is not compatible with Redis version below 3.2, please upgrade your Redis instance.

Warning

It is not possible to upgrade from Moira 2.2 to Moira 2.5 directly. To upgrade Moira from version 2.2 or older to 2.5, please first run moira-cli version 2.4 (see important note).

Please update your web configuration according to the following rules:

  • Add label (new required field). You can see default type and label field mappings in default WEB UI configuration.
  • Rename title to placeholder.

See WEB UI configuration guide for more information.

Incompatible changes

  • Removed deprecated method PUT trigger/{{triggerId}}/maintenance. Use PUT trigger/{{triggerId}}/setMaintenance instead (request body has not changed).
  • Removed deprecated version 2.2 related conversion code. Now if you want to upgrade Moira from version 2.2 or older use moira-cli version 2.4 (see important note).
  • Fixed contact types configuration. It was hardcoded in the web UI, and now it is configurable via config file (as it should have been originally).
  • Renamed the title field to more semantically correct placeholder in web UI config.
  • Added a new required label field to web UI config, which is used as a contact label in web UI instead of type.
  • Removed ERROR_VALUE and WARN_VALUE as valid variables in expression. Old triggers with these variables will still work, but you can not update these triggers until you delete ERROR_VALUE and WARN_VALUE variables from the expression.
  • Dropped support for all old browsers. Only last 2 major versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari (all mobile and desktop) and Edge (only desktop) are supported.

New features

  • Added Graphite tags support #142.
  • Reworked trigger search input control in web UI. Fulltext search is now available, as long as the old tag filters #185.
  • Added Webhook sender #123. For more info see documantation.
  • Added information who and when turned on maintenance mode. You can see it as a hint in web UI near the metric, and in metric alert message #192.
  • Added a meaningful title to all Moira web pages #177.
  • Added environment variable that customizes api URL path for web UI Docker image #173.
  • Added new variables to script sender. Variable ${trigger_name} is now deprecated, removed from documentation and will be removed in the future versions of Moira #228. For more information about new variables and script configuration see documantation.

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Limited connection count in Redis connection pool, added a separate pool for remote locks, added ConnectionsLimit config field in Redis configuration #163.
