Postgres upgrade to version 15.5

The bundled Postgres database has been upgraded to version 15.5. This version supports new installations and upgrades on all platforms. If any database errors are encountered during installation or upgrade, please reach out to Unravel support for assistance.

New features

  • Seamless integration with Azure billing

    Unravel has transitioned from using an approximation algorithm to compute costs for all Databricks entities to integrating with Azure billing APIs. Starting this release, integration with Azure billing APIs provides DBU usage, DBU cost, and VM costs that match with the cloud provider values.

  • New Home page with insights

    Home page is introduced in this release which offers detailed insights into your cloud environment.

    • Easily assess your cloud spending, resource utilization, and potential savings opportunities at a glance.

    • With intuitive visuals and actionable data, make informed decisions to optimize your cloud resources effectively.

    • Explore TopX to identify top cost drivers and performance bottlenecks, and delve into optimization strategies to enhance efficiency and drive savings.

  • New Unravel Billing page

    Unravel has introduced a new billing page from this release to support our new pricing model. Previously, Unravel employed a flat pricing model for different compute types, charging customers a fixed rate. However, recognizing the evolving landscape of compute type usage and the need for greater flexibility and accuracy in billing, Unravel has introduced a new pricing strategy aligned with market trends. Unravel now charges our customers a different pricing for each compute type.

  • UI enhancements in the Cost Explorer page

    Experience a more intuitive navigation in the Cost Explorer page previously known as the Cost page. With renamed pages and refined table headers, navigating through cost-related insights is more intuitive than ever. Drill down into your cloud spending data and delve deeper into cost allocation and resource utilization.

The following table contains key issues addressed in the 4.7.9.4 release.

Description

App Store

APP-774

External Elasticsearch integration not supported within the App Store environment.

APP-775

Databricks cost anomaly detection did not function as expected when integrated with external Elasticsearch.

Cost

UIX-6310

On the Chargeback page, when tag is not provided for any application, NULL is displayed. Upon redirection from the Optimize link for the NULL tag, the Compute page shows all applications for the selected duration instead of specifically displaying applications with no tags.

Compute

DT-2094

The cluster ID is displayed instead of the cluster name for certain clusters.

Spark

DT-2141

In the Program tab, when you click the line number, the actual line of the code is not highlighted in the Spark details App Summary page .

DT-1404

Jobs created for the PySpark application using User-Defined Functions on a job cluster fail after applying the recommendations for node downsizing.

PLATFORM-2764

There is a lag for SQL Streaming applications.

UX-632

The timeline histogram does not generate correctly on the Spark application details page.

Workflows

PIPELINE-1626, PIPELINE-1946

The Unravel user interface may experience issues where certain Azure Databricks jobs are missing and duplicate entries appear in Databricks workflows under specific circumstances.

The upcoming releases will include the following key fixes to enhance user experience. It is important to note that while these issues exist, there is no immediate critical impact on using the product, and users can continue to utilize its functionality with confidence.

ID

Description

Cost

UIX-6305

The Others category is displayed twice in legends when the number of clusters exceeds 1000 in the Chargeback page.

Compute

DT-2083

The Total Allocated Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Vcore and memory are not visible in the Compute > Trends page.

UIX-6321

All jobs in the running status are displayed in the Finished tab under Job Runs instead of showing only the finished jobs.

Insights

DT-2006

Recommendations are provided for a failed pipeline when users utilize multiple tasks with shared job clusters, and one of the tasks fails.

DT-2125

The UI shows a cost discrepancy for the Executor Idle time detected insight in the Databricks version 14.2 with Photon enabled.

Spark

DT-1742

The timezone for the NodeRightSizing insight event is inconsistent in the Spark details page.

DT-2029

Applications in a success state may inaccurately display an associated job in a running state instead of transitioning to a failed state.

UIX-6523

The Sort by Write feature is currently not functioning as expected in the Spark details page.

SaaS (Free)

DT-2037

In the Databricks Standard (free) environment, there is an issue where the User Flow badge obstructs pagination.

UI

UIX-6281

The cost comparison for all the instances is not displayed on the Pipeline detail page.

Workflows

DT-2104

Sorting is incorrect when the list contains both strings starting with capital and small case letters,

  • Billing

    Some discrepancies may occur in cost calculations due to differences between the user time zone displayed on the Compute page and the UTC-based aggregation on the Billing page. (DT-2350)

  • Compute

    Jobs by status graphs in the Trends tab display spark application details and not the job details. Our development is actively looking into this design limitation and efforts are underway to address this in future updates to enhance the product's capabilities. (DT-2008)

  • Data

    If tables are created with the same name, accessed, deleted, and re-created, and if those tables are re-accessed, then their query and app count do not match. (DATAPAGE-502)

  • Home

    Home page does not display alerts on the UI when there is missing ROI data for a single day. (DT-2509)

    Hovering on Total Cost Trend on the Summary tab of the Home page may display inaccurate date information. (DT-2408)

  • Workflows

    The current implementation has a limitation where the wrong run count is displayed for the job ID when sorting by run count in the Workflows > Jobs section. This discrepancy is currently under investigation by our development team, and active efforts are being taken to resolve this issue. (UIX-6526)

Our development team is actively investigating the following Known issues and are working towards resolving them. It is important to note that while these issues exist, there is no immediate critical impact on using the product, and users can continue to utilize its functionality with confidence.
