Agent Version Compatibility

Bindplane Collector v1.63.0 or newer is not compatible with BindPlane OP server v1.59.1 or older. If you are using BindPlane OP v1.59.1 or older, it is recommended to upgrade to v1.79.0.

It is safe to upgrade from v1.59.1 to v1.79.0. However, if you are on v1.59.0 or older, it is recommended to first upgrade to v1.59.1 and then to v1.79.0.

License

Licenses have always been required when operating BindPlane OP. If a license was not configured, the web interface would prompt for one. As of v1.79.0, new installations of BindPlane OP will require a license key in the configuration file. If you are installing BindPlane OP with the installation script or the Helm chart, no further steps are required.

If you are installing BindPlane OP Linux packages without using the install script, you must run the init command or modify /etc/bindplane/config.yaml to configure a license before starting the service.

1# label agents where the label env has values dev, test, or stage
2bindplane label agents configuration=test --selector 'env in (dev,test,stage)' --overwrite
3
4# label agents where the label env has the value test
5bindplane label agents configuration=test --query 'env:test' --overwrite

Init License Command

A new command is available for updating BindPlane's license. Similar to the init server command, the BindPlane license can be updated by executing the init license command on the BindPlane host.

1sudo BINDPLANE_CONFIG_HOME=/var/lib/bindplane \
2  /usr/local/bin/bindplane init license \
3  --config /etc/bindplane/config.yaml

New Features

Upgrade Notes

Prometheus

If you are not using BindPlane with high availability, no action is required.

BindPlane High Availability users should upgrade their Prometheus Linux Package. The latest version of the package will contain the new recording rules that enable Configurable Measurement Interval. After upgrading, no further action is required.

If you are managing Prometheus manually, you will need to re-review the documentation. Make sure to update your recording rules.

The new recording rules look like this.

1groups:
2- name: configuration-rollups
3  interval: 1m
4  rules:
5  - record: bindplane_agent_measurements:rollup:rate:1m
6    expr: sum without (agent) (rate(bindplane_agent_measurements{}[1m9s999ms] offset 10s))
7- name: 5m-configuration-rollups
8  interval: 5m
9  rules:
10  - record: bindplane_agent_measurements:rollup:rate:5m
11    expr: sum without (agent) (rate(bindplane_agent_measurements:1m{}[5m59s999ms] offset 10s))
12- name: 1h-configuration-rollups
13  interval: 1h
14  rules:
15  - record: bindplane_agent_measurements:rollup:rate:1h
16    expr: sum without (agent) (rate(bindplane_agent_measurements:15m{}[1h14m59s999ms] offset 10s))

Configurable Measurement Interval

Agents send configuration throughput metrics to BindPlane every 10 seconds. This interval is now configurable, supporting 10s, 1m, and 15m. It is recommended to use 1m or 15m intervals when managing large numbers of agents. At scale, 10s intervals can be responsible for high overhead.

The interval can be set by modifying a configuration's advanced settings. Select the gear icon on and choose "Advanced Configuration Options".

See the Upgrade Notes for important details regarding configurable measurement intervals.

Prometheus Metrics

BindPlane can expose APM metrics using a built-in Prometheus exporter. Metrics are disabled by default and can be enabled by updating your configuration file.

1type: prometheus
2interval: 10s
3prometheus:
4    endpoint: /metrics

CLI Completion Command

The CLI supports shell completion for bash, zsh, fish and powershell. After upgrading your CLI, use the bindplane completion -h command for more information.

New Features

• Add max log size option to Kubernetes Container source
• New Parse Severity processor
  • Supports flexible parsing, such as parsing HTTP status codes.
  • Parse Severity v1 has been deprecated and should be replaced by the new processor.
• New command bindplane init auth for updating the BindPlane server's authentication configuration

Bug Fixes

• Fail to save resources if all pipelines are disabled
  • The web interface will not allow you to save a resource that does not have logs, metrics, or traces enabled.

Bug Fixes

• Fix rendering Windows Events sources using remote collection and custom channels.

New Features

• Support multi line Kubernetes container logs
• Add remote option to Windows events log

Bug Fixes

New Features

• New init ldap CLI command, for configuring and migrating authentication to ldap

Bug Fixes

• Return 401 for missing account header (measurements)
• Enforce NATS mutual TLS
• Conditional Builder Regex escaping
  • See Upgrade Procedure section.

Init LDAP

When operating BindPlane OP on Linux, you can migrate to LDAP by executing the following command on the Linux server.

1sudo BINDPLANE_CONFIG_HOME=/var/lib/bindplane \
2    /usr/local/bin/bindplane init ldap \
3    --config /etc/bindplane/config.yaml

The command will prompt for your ldap server information, and migrate your BindPlane accounts to the new authentication mechanism.

Upgrade Procedure

After upgrading to BindPlane v1.62.0, review your configurations for pending rollouts. Update any configurations that contain processors with conditions built using the condition builder. Previous versions of BindPlane will have required the user to handle regex escaping on their own. v1.62.0 handles the escaping for you, however, existing conditions will need to be updated to take this into account.

New Features

• NATS Event Bus
• Filter By Regex processor, available for Google licenses
• Agent's page is now sortable by labels
• SQL Query Source

Bug Fixes

• Add validation to guard against applying resources without metadata.name
• Correctly handle deleting multiple configs
• Handle duplicating configs without a current version

Other

• Rebrand Google Chronicle to Google SecOps

NATS Event Bus

Enterprise users operating BindPlane in High Availability can now use the NATS Event Bus. The NATS Event Bus eliminates the need for an external event bus such as Google Pub/Sub or Apache Kafka.

New Features

• Support setting agent metrics port with global config option
• OpAMP agent authentication configuration

Bug Fixes

• Fix transform processor in Couchbase source
• Fix small rollout segment width when configurations have a low agent count

Other

• Optimize agents GraphQL queries
• Return 452 status when there is no license for the organization
• Include error in log for BindPlane Transform Agent process
• Upgrade to opamp-go v0.15.0

Agent Metrics Port

Agents managed by BindPlane expose metrics on TCP port 8888 by default. The port is now configurable using a global setting. Modifying the port will affect all agents.

The BindPlane configuration file's advanced section can be updated to include the agent.telemetryPort option.

1advanced:
2  agent:
3    telemetryPort: 8888

Modifying advanced options should be considered an advanced operation, and is not recommended unless guided by BindPlane support.

OpAMP Authentication

A new configuration section agents allow users to configure OpAMP authentication. Currently, secretKey is the only supported authentication type. It supports one or more headers. In this example, the BindPlane control plane will check for X-Bindplane-Authorization first and then Authorization if the first header is not present.

1agents:
2  auth:
3    type: secretKey
4    secretKey:
5      headers: 
6      - X-Bindplane-Authorization
7      - Authorization

Modifying the agent authentication options should be considered an advanced operation, and is not recommended unless guided by BindPlane support.

New Features

• Organizations and Projects
• New Kubernetes Prometheus source
  • Detect and scrape Prometheus exporters using Prometheus Kubernetes service discovery.

Bug Fixes

• Google Cloud destination: Set location resource if not already set
  • Resolves an issue where Google rejects metric types that require a location.
• Audit log CSV exporter now respects users timezone
• Require configuration match labels
  • If match labels are not present, configuration=<configuration name> will be added automatically when creating a configuration using the API.

Other

• Agent's telemetry port 8888 will now bind to localhost on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
• Deprecated Filter by Field processor in favor of Filter by Condition processor

Organizations and Projects

Starting in 1.59 each deployment of BindPlane OP will have a new top-level Organization made up of all the previous existing Accounts on the deployment. Accounts will now be referred to as Projects, which still contain all of the Agents and Resources associated with the account.

Some things to note:

• Any previous Admin level users now also receive the Organization Admin role. Organization admins can see all projects in an organization and any user that uses those projects.
• Organization Admins can access the new Organization page found in the settings menu.
• New Project creation is now limited to Organization Admins only.

New Features

• Add metrics support to bindplane-agent source
• Progressive Rollouts

Bug Fixes

• Support nested fields in Add fields processor

Progressive Rollouts

With Progressive Rollouts you can now deploy your configuration changes incrementally, one stage at a time. Tag specific agents as belonging to dev, stage, and prod environments and then BindPlane will pause the rollout after it completes each stage.

The stages themselves are entirely configurable, so you can create the exact rollout that works best for your environment.

Migration Notes

This release includes a change that will break future downgrade compatibility for users with a single account boltstore installation of BindPlane. Before upgrading, those users should create a backup of their storage file, which can be used in the event of a downgrade.*

To downgrade, those users should follow these steps:

1. Stop the BindPlane service
2. Replace the storage file with the backed-up version
3. Restart the BindPlane service

Changes made after upgrading will not be persisted when performing this downgrade.

* If, instead, BindPlane is configured with either multi-account or postgres, this release is backward compatible and no action is needed to downgrade safely. BindPlane is multi-account if accounts.enable is true in its configuration:

1accounts:
2  enable: true

New Features

• New destinations
  • Observe, Inc
  • Chronicle Forwarder
• Source changes
  • TCP Logs: Added new encoding option

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Resolved an issue where Prometheus backed agent measurements were inconsistent in some cases
  • See the Upgrade Procedure notes for upgrade information

Upgrade Procedure

Prometheus

Agent measurement values will be inconsistent in some situations. Upgrading to v1.41.0 solves this issue.

If you are using BindPlane's built in Prometheus service, no action is required. If you are unsure, generally this means your BindPlane server is managing it's own Prometheus service behind the scenes. You can skip this procedure.

If you are using a self managed Prometheus instance for your measurements backend, you must update your Prometheus recording rule at /etc/prometheus/rules.yml.

1groups:
2- name: configuration-rollups
3  interval: 1m
4  rules:
5  - record: bindplane_agent_measurements:rollup:rate:1m
6    expr: sum without (agent) (rate(bindplane_agent_measurements{}[1m9s999ms] offset 10s))

Once updated, restart the service.
