Fixed​

  • breaking change a9s Backup Monit: The metric last_backup_status was adapted from a string value into a numeric value. This change was required because graphite metric values are numeric values, thus the graphite endpoints could not receive this metric as they expect numeric values. For more information see a9s Backup Monit Metrics.
  • all services: a9s Logstash: Update the logstash-output-graphite plugin from version 3.1.5 to version 3.1.6. This was necessary as the plugin was not handling IOException exceptions safely, which could in turn crash Logstash under certain situations.
  • all services: a9s BOSH Deployer: Fix the Recreate button on the a9s Service Dashboard. This was caused by a missing --fix flag within the validation conditions of the recreate subcommand.
  • a9s Backup Manager: Extend the error management inside the Backup Manager to catch the 'host unreachable' error when communicating with the Service Broker. This was necessary since the previous error management did not allow the search for further brokers to continue if any given broker listed was deemed unreachable (even if temporarily); thus causing an early end and potentially causing issues with the related backup.
  • a9s Search: Disable all non-mandatory OpenSearch plugins from a9s Search. This was always the intended functionality.
  • a9s Search: Add missing deployment variable, /search_service_broker_password, to the a9s Search manifest.
  • docs: all services: Fix the documentation sidebar's ordering by adding the sidebar=1 property to the metadata of the intro.md file. For more information see Introduction.
  • docs: Application Developer: Remove duplicate section on the page Using a9s LogMe.
  • docs: Platform Operator: Fix the title of the "a9s-pg Upgrade from 9.4" page. For more information see a9s-pg Upgrade from 9.4.
  • docs: Platform Operator: Fix the title of the "a9s Redis Resources Considerations" page. For more information see a9s Redis Resources Considerations.
  • docs: Platform Operator: Fix the title of the "Service Instance Resource Usage" page. For more information see Service Instance Resource Usage.
  • docs: Platform Operator: Fix the title of the "a9s Data Services Configuration" page. For more information see a9s Data Services Configuration.
  • docs: Platform Operator: Corrected the Non-GA version of a9s MariaDB. It was mistankenly set to v33.0.0 although it was already released as RC in v32.0.0. For more information see Release Lifecycle Information.
  • INTERNAL RELEASE a9s PostgreSQL: Improve a9s postgresql-info-webservice component logs.

  • a9s Search: Add the consul domains of a9s Elasticsearch to the whitelist of the reindex operation of OpenSearch. This is necessary in order to allow the migration from a9s Elasticsearch 7 to a9s Search 2 instances. For more infomation see Migrate a9s Elasticsearch 7 To a9s Search 2
  • a9s Smoke Tests: Extend the functionality of the smoke tests to incorporate support for a9s Search 2.

Removed​

  • INTERNAL RELEASE a9s MariaDB: Remove the consul-master-registrator job from the templates of a9s MariaDB cluster plans. Since a9s MariaDB cluster instances are configured with a master-master setup, and accessed via a Consul service DNS entry that points to all nodes in the cluster. The primary alias provided by this job is not used nor is available to the end user in any way.
  • INTERNAL RELEASE a9s MySQL: Remove the consul-master-registrator job from the templates of a9s MySQL cluster plans. Since a9s MySQL cluster instances are configured with a master-master setup, and accessed via a Consul service DNS entry that points to all nodes in the cluster. The primary alias provided by this job is not used nor is available to the end user in any way.
  • INTERNAL RELEASE all services: a9s Logstash: Remove unused plugin logstash-output-kafka in version 7.0.10 from the offline package to avoid vulnerability scanner hints.
