Release 9.2.5.1

These are the Rolling Release Notes for Release 9.2.5.1. These release notes are applicable to both Privacera's Self-Managed version and PrivaceraCloud.

Breaking Changes

CPU Resource Configuration Variable Names Updated

  • Impact: This change only affects customers who have defined custom CPU request and limit settings in their Privacera Manager variables. Customers using default CPU settings are not impacted.
  • Issue: A regression prevents custom CPU configurations from being applied. Privacera Manager does not recognize the legacy variable naming convention in these versions.
  • Action Required: If you have custom CPU settings configured, update your variable names in the custom vars file to use the new naming convention.
  • Variable Naming Changes:
    • Old format: <SERVICE>_CPU_MIN and <SERVICE>_CPU_MAX
    • New format: <SERVICE>_K8S_CPU_REQUESTS and <SERVICE>_K8S_CPU_LIMITS
    • Example: AUDITSERVER_CPU_MINAUDITSERVER_K8S_CPU_REQUESTS
    • Note: This applies to all Privacera services (AuditServer, DataServer, Portal, etc.)
  • More Details:

  • Refer to Tag Reconcile Loader Configuration for more details.
Updated BigQuery Apache Avro Dependencies

Updated BigQuery Apache Avro Dependencies

Upgraded BigQuery dependencies to address known security vulnerabilities identified in CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) reports.

Added Support for Histogram Metrics for Timers

Added Support for Histogram Metrics for Timers

  • Introduced configurable Timer Service Level Objectives (SLOs) that can be applied to all Timer metrics via MeterFilter.
  • This enhancement provides better observability into timer performance with configurable SLO thresholds and simplifies the metrics APIs for counters, gauges, and timers.
  • For information on how to configure Histogram Metrics, refer to Configuring Histogram Timers for Connectors.
Added Metrics to Track Changelog Backlog by Type

Added Metrics to Track Changelog Backlog by Type

Added metrics to monitor changelog backlog categorized by changelog type, enabling better visibility into processing queues and helping identify bottlenecks in changelog processing.

Enhanced Connector Common and Connector JDBC Dashboards with Latency Panels & Heatmap Visualizations

Enhanced Connector Common and Connector JDBC Dashboards with Latency Panels & Heatmap Visualizations

Enhanced the Connector Common and Connector JDBC dashboards by introducing P95/P99 latency panels and heatmap latency visualizations across HTTP, SDK, JDBC, and event metrics.

Redshift Connector Audit Fix

Fixed transaction_id parsing by casting as BIGINT, ensuring complete audit data loads.

Reduced Failed JDBC Call Errors in Databricks Unity Catalog and Databricks SQL Analytics Connector

Reduced Failed JDBC Call Errors in Databricks Unity Catalog and Databricks SQL Analytics Connector

Reduced Failed JDBC Call errors for missing resources in Databricks Unity Catalog and Databricks SQL Analytics Connector.

Fixed an Issue with Implicit Grants for Databricks Unity Catalog Connector

Fixed an Issue with Implicit Grants for Databricks Unity Catalog Connector

Fixed an issue where USE SCHEMA and USE CATALOG privileges were not enforced during reconcile in the Databricks Unity Catalog connector.

Fixed an Issue Where Policy Version Information was not Logged for SELECT Permissions in the Unity Catalog Connector

Fixed an Issue Where Policy Version Information was not Logged for SELECT Permissions in the Unity Catalog Connector

Fixed an issue where the policy version was not being recorded in apply logs when SELECT permissions were applied through the Unity Catalog connector. This issue was identified in release 9.2.4.1 (see Known Issue). Policy versions are now correctly recorded in apply logs for all permissions.

Fixed CEL Script Evaluator Configuration Property Typo with Backward Compatibility

Fixed CEL Script Evaluator Configuration Property Typo with Backward Compatibility

Fixed a typo in the CEL script evaluator configuration property name from CONNECTOR_RANGER_PLUGIN_CEL_SCRIPT_EVALUALTOR_ENABLED to CONNECTOR_RANGER_PLUGIN_CEL_SCRIPT_EVALUATOR_ENABLED. Added backward compatibility logic to ensure that if the old misspelled property is explicitly set to true, it takes precedence over the new correctly spelled property, preventing any disruption to existing configurations.

DataServer

[Diagnostics] Configure Pytest Data cleanup on service level

[Diagnostics] Configure Pytest Data cleanup on service level

  • Added configurable pytest data purging mechanism for each service in the diagnostics client sidecar.
  • Introduced default variable DIAG_TEST_RESULTS_FILE_RETENTION_COUNT set to 7 latest test execution files for automatic cleanup, with automatic fallback to this default value when service-specific container variable is not configured.
  • Implemented service-specific retention configuration through container-level environment variables, allowing per-service customization of test result retention counts.
  • Automatic cleanup mechanism: when the retention limit (default 7 files) is reached and a new test run file appears, the oldest file is automatically deleted to maintain the latest test execution files.

Privacera Portal
