🎉 New Features

Faster & Simpler Install

  • We are adding a default installation setup that is lighter, faster and works with fewer resources.
  • Decreased storage requirements by over 5.1 GB (70% of earlier storage)
  • Faster install time - which is on average halved from previous versions
  • (Optional) - all 3rd party SaaS connectors have been made optional and can be accessed now by docker-compose.thirdparty.yml

Deep Drills

  • We introduced new time cuts for DeepDrills like WoW, WTD, MoM, MTD, QoQ, QTD to reflect business needs - these can be also be configured from the env variables.
  • We also improved UI for Deepdrills to make the data more actionable and intuitive.
  • Thanks for the feedback (Dushyant, Anmol, Shree)

Daily Alerts Report

  • As many of our users are monitoring 1000s of KPIs (incl. sub-dimensions) - this can lead to multiple emails being triggered for each individual alert
  • For ease of use and to make these alerts more actionable, you can now select to get these alerts in a Daily Alerts Digest
  • The Alerts are now also presented in natural language (Thanks @KShivendu for all the amazing feedback on Alerts)

Alerts Dashboard

  • As many of our users are monitoring 1000s of KPIs (incl. sub-dimensions) - this can lead to a large number of alerts and can cause alert fatigue
  • To manage a large number of alerts better, we've enabled a Alerts Dashboard where you can access all your alerts for the last 7 days. You can filter by Alert Configurations, Recipient Email, KPI and Dates
  • For more details you can jump into the Alerts Dashboard available at api/digest or via the Alerts screen by clicking the header "Alerts"

Timezone Support

  • Can set up a reporting time zone for metrics now on which the results are displayed.

  • Currently our analytics & alerts scheduler runs on server time - which can often create confusion if the server timezone is different from the reporting timezone. To tackle this issue, we now also display the timezone for all scheduler settings.

  • We are in the process of adding new features to enhance timezone including native handling of timezone aware data.
