Primary Site v0.0.49

This release contains minor updates and fixes to the inbox listener and garbage collector.

New & Improved

  • Added: If the LOG_REPEATED_IMPORT_FAILURES environment variable is set to true, the inbox listener will log an error-level message whenever it has to quarantine an input file after exhausting all retries. This can help Primary Site operators detect issues with their deployment.

  • Changed: For Primary Sites using Azure storage buckets with hierarchical namespaces enabled, the garbage-collector service will log an info-level message when it attempts to delete a non-empty directory, but it will skip over it.

    Fixes

  • Fixed: If the inbox listener attempts to process an MCAP file with an invalid file offset, it will quarantine the file immediately rather than retrying three times.

Primary Site v0.0.46

This release contains support for downloading and retrying quarantined files.

New & Improved

  • Added: support for downloading quarantined pending imports. This feature will be enabled through the UI in the near future.

  • Note: For this to work, deployers will need to double-check permissions on their inbox bucket to make sure that their stream service has access to read from them.

  • Added: support for retrying quarantined pending imports. This feature will be enabled through the UI in the near future.

    Fixes

  • Fixed: if the garbage collector cannot delete a temp file, it will log an error instead of aborting.

  • Fixed: the request ID tag in inbox listener logs now matches the request ID in the foxglove API for pending imports.

  • Fixed: various corrupt BAG and MCAP errors will now result in the file being quarantined immediately rather than retrying 3 times.

Foxglove 2.13.0

🗃️ Direct file access​

If you have a self-managed Primary Site, you can now get the path of MCAP files in your data lake using the /lake-files endpoint. This allows you to directly access your Foxglove data for things like custom analysis, machine learning, post-processing, resimulation, and more.

You can query the /lake-files endpoint for the data associated with a device using deviceId or deviceName and a time range. Alternatively you can request the indexed data associated with a recording using recordingId or recordingKey. In either case, you'll get a list of MCAP files in object storage that you can directly access using your prefered AWS, GCP, or Azure SDKs and tools.

note

Self-managed Primary Sites and the /lake-files endpoint require an Enterprise plan.
