V2.7
Grafana Labs is excited to announce the release of Loki 2.7. Here’s a summary of new enhancements and important fixes:
Features and enhancements

- Better Support for Azure Blob Storage thanks to the ability to use Azure’s Service Principal Credentials.
- Logs can now be pushed from the Loki canary so you don’t have to rely on a scraping service to use the canary.
- Additional

. Check upgrade guide for more details- New HTTP endpoint for Ingester shutdown that will also delete the ring token.

Upgrade Considerations
As always, please read the upgrade guide before upgrading Loki.
Bug fixes
2.7.5 (2023-03-28)
- Flush buffered logger on exit: this makes sure logs are printed if Loki crashes on startup.
2.7.4 (2023-02-24)
- Fixed different streams for
cri
tags ending on the same stream. - Fixed the
userdata
field (from Windows Event Log) being scraped incorrectly. - Fixed
vector()
function producing wrong timestamp. - Fixed behavior for overlapping chunks with multiple stores.
- Fixed logs results caching causing query-frontend to return logs outside of query window.
- Fixed panics when:
/scheduler/ring
endpoint is requested with scheduler ring disabled.- LogQL clones a specific query.
- Promtail deals with invalid calls to
Details()
.
2.7.3 (2023-02-01)
- Fixed a bug in compactor that caused divide-by-zero panics when
startTime
andendTime
of a delete request were equal. - Fixed the output of the
--version
command that showed an incorrect version information.
2.7.2 (2023-01-25)
- Fixed bug in validation of
pattern
andregexp
parsers where missing or empty parameters for these parsers caused panics. - Fixed bugs in processing delete requests with line filters:
- Whole chunks covered by delete requests with a line filter were incorrectly skipped.
- Chunks partially covered by delete requests with a line filter were not properly processed. The part that was not covered by the delete request was rewritten with a line filter, while the part that was covered by the delete request was completely deleted.
- Fixed bug in multi-tenant querying that caused HTTP 400 responses when multiple tenants where used in
X-Scope-OrgID
header like sotenant-a|tenant-b
. - Upgraded Go build version and Docker container base images to 1.19.5 to mitigate GO-2022-1144 vulnerability.
2.7.1 (2022-12-09)
Add single compactor http client for delete and gennumber clients. This fixes a bug caused by the accidental introduction of different HTTP clients for compactor and gennumber operations that resulted in 404s when only the gennumber middlewares were enabled:
level=error ts=2022-10-18T14:13:41.598649348Z caller=delete_requests_client.go:211 msg="error getting delete requests from the store" err="unexpected status code: 404" ts=2022-10-18T14:13:41.598697295Z caller=spanlogger.go:80 user=application level=error msg="failed loading deletes for user" err="unexpected status code: 404"
Change default deletion mode to
filter-only
on account of the bug (see below).
Known Issues
- There is a bug with the experimental deletion mode in 2.6.x and 2.7.x that in some cases can cause the wrong chunks to be deleted. As a result we have changed the default deletion mode to
filter-only
until this bug has been addressed.
