4.1.0

General Overview

Version 4.1.0 is a major release representing a fundamental shift in our platform’s architecture. Following the 4.0.X beta versions, this release marks the first General Availability (GA) version of this major release. It introduces a new database engine, a redesigned user interface, and significant changes to data processing.

Important Migration and Compatibility Notice

  • No Downgrade Support: Once the system is upgraded to version 4.1.0, it is not possible to downgrade back to version 3.X.
  • Version 3 Customers: A direct upgrade and migration path for customers currently running version 3.X is not yet available. This functionality is being developed and will be provided in upcoming releases. We recommend that version 3 users wait for further announcements before attempting an upgrade.

Key Changes and New Features

Database Transition to OpenSearch

The core database engine has been migrated from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch. This transition provides a more sustainable foundation for future development and improved performance for large-scale data sets.

New User Interface

The management interface has been completely redesigned. This new UI improves navigation efficiency and provides a modern, streamlined workspace for all administrative tasks.

Storage Architecture Redesign

We have implemented a new architecture for data storage to optimize how logs are indexed and stored.

For detailed technical specifications, please refer to the dedicated chapter on data architecture.
