WHAT’S NEW
We are pleased to announce the release of EDB Lasso 4.12.0.
Lasso is a small multi-platform application able to safely gather relevant data on a system where PostgreSQL (and/or other relevant supported software) is running.
New Features
- New file postgresql/conns_per_second.out, which shows the current rate of new connections established to the database during an observation period of 3 seconds (DC-892).
- New file postgresql/running_activity_maxage.out, which shows the age of the oldest running backend, transaction and query in the database (DC-893).
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where extremely large data files were allowed to be included in the Lasso report, in some situations causing elevated memory usage. Now by default any data file larger than 500 MB is discarded (configurable with a new command line argument --local-size-limit) with a corresponding entry in the new contents.data file (RT100724, DC-944).
- Fixed an issue where Lasso RPM packages were marked as obsolete, even if they were the latest version (RT100304, DC-899).
- Fixed an issue where the Lasso lock file was not being deleted at the end of the execution (DC-894).
Deprecation Notice
- PostgreSQL 11 is now EOL and considered deprecated (DC-945).
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE LASSO BUNDLE
Lasso is currently offered in 2 installation options:
- Disposable bundle, downloadable from the Support Portal;
- DEB and RPM packages, installable from the EDB repositories.
By the end of January 2024, we will no longer offer the disposable bundle, and all users are encouraged to install Lasso from the packages downloadable from the EDB repositories.
