Supercharge Your Incident Response with our new Atlassian alert integrations!

We're excited to announce the release of two powerful new alert integrations: Jira Service Management Ops and Opsgenie! These integrations are designed to streamline your incident management process and ensure you're always on top of critical issues.

Stay Informed, React Faster

​​With the new Atlassian integrations, you can now receive real-time alerts directly within your Atlassian ecosystem. When a Dash0 checkrule fails, an immediate notification is sent to your chosen Atlassian platform, ensuring incidents are addressed with the appropriate urgency and context. In addition incidents are automatically closed once the checkrule returns to a healthy state, streamlining incident management and reducing manual effort.

Why These Integrations Matter

  • **Seamless Integration: **Connect your Dash0 alerts directly to Jira Service Management Ops and Opsgenie.

  • **Real-Time Notifications: **Get instant alerts when checkrules fail, minimizing downtime.

  • **Enhanced Context: **Ensure incidents are assigned with appropriate urgency and context.

  • **Incident Auto-Closure: **Incidents are automatically closed once the checkrule returns to a healthy state.

  • **Clickable Hyperlinks: **Render any URLs within checkrule annotations as clickable hyperlinks improving visibility and quick access to supporting dashboards, documentation or tools.

Introducing the Hierarchy Map Widget: Visualize Resource Health and Relationships Clearly

We're excited to announce our new Hierarchy Map widget, which provides an intuitive way to visualize a large number of resources and their relationships in a condensed and clear manner. This powerful visualization helps you quickly understand the structure and health of your infrastructure as you wish.

The Hierarchy Map organizes your resources in a way that makes it easy to identify patterns, spot degraded resources, and understand hierarchical relationships, even with extensive datasets. Resources can be grouped by various attributes, allowing you to create meaningful visualizations that match your mental model of your infrastructure.

Key Features of the Hierarchy Map Widget

  • Condensed and Clear Visualization: Effectively display a large number of resources and their connections in a visually efficient format.

  • Flexible Grouping Options: Group resources by any attribute to create meaningful hierarchies that match your organizational structure or technical architecture.

  • Health-Based Visualization: Quickly identify problematic resources through color-coding based on health status, making it easy to spot issues within large datasets.

  • Customizable Appearance: Adjust item size, spacing, and summary display to optimize the visualization for clarity and information density.

  • Smart Sorting: Sort groups and items by name or health status to prioritize your view based on what matters most in your extensive infrastructure.

The Hierarchy Map widget is available now in your dashboards. Simply add it to any dashboard and configure it to visualize your resources in a way that makes sense for your organization, even with a high volume of data.

This new visualization complements our existing widgets, giving you yet another powerful tool to gain insights from your observability data, particularly when dealing with numerous resources.

Dash0 Terraform Provider

Dash0 now supports a Terraform provider to manage your configuration as code.

Managing and synchronizing dashboards via a user interface can be painful, especially when maintaining them for multiple environments or organizations in Dash0. We already support maintaining dashboards through the Dash0 Operator and starting today, you can alternatively use our Terraform provider.

main.tf
123456789101112131415161718
terraform {
required_providers {
dash0 = {
source = "dash0hq/dash0"
version = "~> 1.0"
}
}
}
provider "dash0" {
# No further configuration options
}
resource "dash0_dashboard" "my_dashboard" {
dataset = "{{dataset}}"
# You can download a dashboard's source yaml through the Dash0 UI
dashboard_yaml = file("${path.module}/dashboard.yaml")
}

Learn more about the Terraform provider, including necessary configuration settings, via our documentation.

LogAI: Pattern recognition and variable extraction

Our LogAI now identifies patterns in your log messages and uses them to extract type-safe, named attributes that you can use in queries, filters and grouping and, last but not least: triage.

Log messages virtually always follow a pattern: most log messages are generated based on a template, with different variables interpolated in between the static text. And the pattern is unfortunately not available after the log leaves your application.

Wouldn't it be great being able to tell how many and which patterns are there? Or how many logs match each pattern, and how often patterns associated - for example - with errors occur? Or even querying the interpolated variables as if they were log attributes?

Now you can do that all that and more, with the LogAI pattern recognition.

  • As logs are ingested, our AI identifies patterns, extracts named variables and makes them available as log attributes.

  • Logs can be filtered and grouped by pattern or by extracted attributes -- directly in the UI, or by referencing them in your PromQL expressions, in the query builder or even in the Triage!

This feature is currently in open beta, as we work on model improvements to increase the accuracy of the patterns and the quality of the extracted attributes.

On the left side we have the count of matching logs by pattern, with a breakdown by severity. On the right side you see a log record with the identified pattern and extracted attributes.

Please note that:

  • LogAI works on unstructured logs; logs with structure body, like JSON logs, are not modified by LogAI

  • At the time of writing, LogAI does not extract the trace/span ID attributes for correlation of logs with tracing

  • LogAI requires logs to have sufficient resource attributes for contextualization; the minimum combinations of resource attributes required are listed here
