Documentation Grafana Tempo Release notes V1.3

Version 1.3 release notes

The Tempo team is excited to announce the release of Tempo 1.3.

Features and enhancements

• Search In addition to the existing search of recent traces, support has been added to search traces in the backend store. Refer to Tempo search for details.

• Improve ring functionality The compactor ring automatically forgets about unhealthy ring members.

• Protect instances from very large traces The ingester keeps track of traces that exceed the configured maximum size, extending protection from very large traces to after the traces are flushed to disk.

• Expose additional metrics These new metrics are exposed:

  • tempo_limits_overrides
  • tempo_limits_defaults
  • tempo_ingester_live_traces
  • tempodb_compaction_outstanding_blocks

• Azure credentials may be set in the environment Instead of setting values in the configuration, environment variables may specify AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT and AZURE_STORAGE_KEY.
