Classic Dashboards Deprecation
The ability to create or duplicate Classic Dashboards on the Sumo Logic platform has been discontinued. When opening, existing Classic dashboards will be immediately updated to new versions, allowing users to choose between using the updated dashboard or the classic one. Sumo Logic will stop supporting the viewing of classic dashboards on January 8, 2024. Any dashboards that are still in the classic format will be automatically migrated and removed from the Library.

To make it easier for users to connect numerous GCP services to the platform, Sumo Logic has added 37 new setup guides to the App Catalog. In addition, seven new setup guidelines for integrating different security services and 41 new configuration guides for combining various AWS services have been made available. These manuals provide easy-to-follow setups for effective data collection and analysis in Sumo Logic.

The rules mostly related to Microsoft Azure OAUTH Application Registration, NSG, and Key Vault services are included in this content release. This release includes a new rule (FIRST-S00040), which is relevant to CVE-2023-38545 and CVE-2023-38546, to help identify unexpected cURL tool usage by a user that might be related to exploitation of these vulnerabilities.

Legacy Signal Forwarding Deprecation
As of July 2022, Cloud SIEM offers improved search capabilities at no additional cost by automatically storing Signals in a standardized sec_signal index for two years. As a result, starting on November 15, 2023, new signals will be routed to the sec_signal index, and the Legacy Signal Forwarding capability will be discontinued. Users who continue to use the legacy feature should update their apps to use the new index, taking note of the content differences between the two.

Release Notes Collector - October 26, 2023
Version 19.461-1
After the Windows feature update, the collector start issue was fixed. If the collector is operating as a custom user—that is, a user account other than the default one—this may occur. You must grant the custom user account complete access in order to resolve this issue. When you install or update the collector, you have the option to use the Advanced UI Installer Settings to accomplish this. For information on giving collectors operating as custom users complete access, see Advanced UI Installer Settings.

Existing Rules have also undergone a number of revisions, including better descriptions and remedies for particular problems. New parser templates for a variety of data formats, including CEF, CSV, JSON, Key Value Pair, LEEF, Unstructured, Windows XML, and XML, are included in the version.
