Tenzir v4.0-rc6

This is the sixth release candidate for Tenzir 4.0 🚧.

This is the first release of the open source Tenzir software under its new name. Tenzir is the continuation of VAST, you can read the motivation for the renaming in our blog post.

The main theme of this release is an improved user experience.

• There are now dedicated commands for running a pipeline (tenzir) and spawning a node (tenzir-node).
• Pipelines that fail to start now emit great diagnostics that point directly at the problem.
• Pipeline execution is now more deterministic and reliable.
• The kafka connector enables seamless integration with the Apache Kafka ecosystem.
• The publish and subscribe operators make it possible to define loosely coupled pipelines, adding flexibility and enabling new use cases.

These are just the highlights, take a look at our 👉 changelog for a complete list of the of changes.

VAST v3.0.4

We're excited to announce VAST v3.0. The big theme of this release is security data pipelines. VAST now features a textual pipeline language akin to Kusto and splunk. The major version bump brings along a few language quality-of-life improvements.

VAST v3.0.4 improves the behavior of automatic rebuilds compared to VAST v3.0.3, and no longer unnecessarily rebuilds all rather than just undersized or outdated partitions for some configurations.

Note What are automatic rebuilds?
VAST continuously optimizes its storage engine in the background to ensure a smooth operation. In particular, it merges undersized partitions and upgrades them to the newest internal storage format. This is a background process and should not be noticeable by the user.

VAST v3.0.3

We're excited to announce VAST v3.0. The big theme of this release is security data pipelines. VAST now features a textual pipeline language akin to Kusto and splunk. The major version bump brings along a few language quality-of-life improvements.

VAST v3.0.3 improves the prioritization behavior of VAST between rebuilds, compaction, and queries over VAST v3.0.2.

Before this change, some configurations led to queries being throttled to the speed of rebuilding or compaction, which are more expensive operations than queries. This no longer happens: Queries will now be preferred in most cases.
