January 11, 2023 Release Notes¶
OPAL¶
sort
¶
The sort
verb sorts
observations by the value of a specified field. By default it sorts
in ascending order. You may specify ascending or descending with
asc()
and
desc()
:
sort desc(value)
limit
¶
The limit
verb selects
the first N rows based on the current ordering, filtering out the others.
limit
works for event datasets similar to how
topk
works for resource datasets.
Performance¶
On-Demand Acceleration¶
On-Demand Acceleration helps customers better manage credit usage in Observe. When your Query Time window exceeds the current accelerated range, you have the option to accelerate it anyway, using additional query credits. Previously, this would happen automatically.

For more about accelerating queries, see About Queries and On-demand Acceleration.
We are interested in your feedback about this new feature. You may contact us at [email protected] or talk to your Observe Data Engineer.
