Release notes for May 2026
Grepr released these feature updates, improvements, and bug fixes in May 2026.
Behavioral changes
Restarted pipelines resume from the most recent data
May 3, 2026
With this release, when you stop and then restart a pipeline, the pipeline resumes processing with the most recent data. Any backlog that accumulates while the pipeline is stopped is not processed when the pipeline is restarted. Previously, pipelines would resume processing with all data received while the pipeline was stopped, leading to additional processing time for events that don’t require forwarding to your observability platform. However, if a pipeline is restarted because of a scaling event or an upgrade, rather than being manually stopped, any data received while the pipeline was stopped is processed.
New features and improvements
Fetch Grepr platform metrics with a Prometheus-compatible endpoint
May 3, 2026
Grepr now provides an endpoint that exposes platform performance metrics in the Prometheus and OpenMetrics text exposition formats. You can scrape this endpoint with any monitoring tool that supports either format to monitor your Grepr pipelines alongside your other infrastructure. To learn more about configuring metric scraping, see Monitor performance metrics.
The new Reader role provides finer-grained access control to Grepr resources
May 3, 2026
Grepr now includes a built-in Reader role for users who need view-only access to organization resources. Reader role users can query logs and view resources, but cannot create, edit, or delete resources, and cannot run backfill jobs that send data to vendor integrations. See Manage users in the Grepr platform.
Allow users to run backfill jobs without granting full access to integrations
You can use the new write:integrations permission to grant users permission to send data through an integration configured as a pipeline sink. Use this permission to allow users to run backfill jobs through an integration without granting further permissions on the integration. See Permissions in the Grepr platform.
Upload log files in the pipeline log viewer
May 3, 2026
The pipeline log viewer now supports uploading log files as an alternative to streaming live data. To test your pipeline configurations with sample data, you can upload files in JSON or plain text formats, and log files up to 10 MB in size. This is useful for validating pipeline behavior against known data sets without needing to send live data. See View pipeline data flows and test changes with live edit.
View vendor sink HTTP delivery status on the pipeline overview
May 3, 2026
The sinks page in pipeline overview pages now displays a stacked bar chart showing the HTTP response status codes returned by requests to vendor platforms, grouped by 2xx, 4xx, 5xx, and other responses. This makes it easier to identify delivery issues with your downstream observability platforms.
Combined CPU utilization and CPU hours on the pipeline overview
May 3, 2026
The pipeline overview page now displays CPU utilization and CPU hours together in a single CPU card. The card includes a filled-area chart of vCPU usage with the total CPU hours displayed in the header, along with a help tooltip describing both metrics.
Log explorer improvements
May 3, 2026
The classic log explorer view has been removed, leaving only the updated view with instant filtering. The maximum result count is now capped at 25,000 to prevent browser performance issues with larger result sets. Additionally, table headers in the log explorer now render correctly in dark mode.
Bug fixes
Fix for the log status remapper not accepting numeric severity values
May 3, 2026
An issue where the log status remapper did not accept numeric severity values from OpenTelemetry sources and JSON loggers has been fixed. The status remapper now accepts numeric severity values that follow the OpenTelemetry severity numbering scheme, from 1 through 24.
Fix for OpenTelemetry attribute keys containing dots
May 3, 2026
An issue where OpenTelemetry attribute keys containing literal dots, such as foo.bar, were incorrectly split into nested key-value lists during OTLP round-trip has been fixed. Attribute keys are now preserved as-is.
Fix for premature logout when accepting an invitation
May 3, 2026
An issue where accepting an invitation could log you out before your account was fully provisioned, leaving you without permissions, has been fixed.
Fix for transient authorization errors during role updates
May 3, 2026
An issue where authorization checks could return spurious 403 errors during concurrent role updates has been fixed.
