Classic Dashboards Deprecation
Effective today, Sumo Logic has removed the ability to create or copy Classic Dashboards from within Sumo Logic. We understand that you may have existing classic dashboards that you may still need to access and use. To make this transition as seamless as possible, we have implemented the following:
- Automatic Migration. If you have edit permissions to a classic dashboard, when you open the dashboard we will automatically create a new copy of the dashboard.
- Choice of Version. Once your classic dashboard has been migrated, when opening a classic dashboard we will provide you the option to open the new version of the dashboard or continue with the classic version.
Once you have had a chance to review your new dashboards, we recommend deleting the classic versions of your dashboards.
On January 8, 2024, Sumo Logic will no longer support the viewing of classic dashboards and will begin a process to auto migrate your remaining classic dashboards. Please note that this migration may take a little time, so you may still encounter classic dashboards within your account during this period. Here is what you can expect beginning January 8:
Automatic Migration. When opening a classic dashboard from the Library or via a previously shared link, the classic dashboard will be automatically migrated and you will be redirected to the new version of that dashboard.

Key Features
- Role-based access controls, which ensure that only authorized individuals within your organization can install, uninstall, or update apps. To perform these actions you must be a member of the default Administrator role. Sumo Logic will be providing a new “Manage Apps” role capability soon, which can be used to grant these permissions to additional roles.
- To identify which apps have been installed within your org, Next-Gen app icons will display a badge indicating their installed status.
- When an update to an installed App becomes available, these new apps will provide a badge noting there is an update available. An upgrade can then be applied with a simple click within the App Catalog.
- Installed apps can be uninstalled and removed through the App Catalog, making it easy to clean up apps you no longer use.
- Additional filter options make it easy to find your installed or upgradeable apps.
- To support the ability to upgrade and to make app content easier to locate, app content will be installed into a shared “Installed Apps” folder of the Library.
- To support the ability to upgrade and to make sure upgrades do not overwrite any customizations you may apply, the content installed by an app is immutable. If you wish to customize the content you will need to first make a custom copy of the content.
While the initial set of Next-Gen apps is designed to help you get started using the Sumo Logic Distribution of the OpenTelemetry agent, we haven't forgotten about those who'd like to continue sending data through our Installed Collector and Hosted Sources.
Over the coming year, we will be converting all existing Classic Apps to the Next-Gen framework and will continue to provide support for these collection methods. In the meantime, our Classic Apps will remain available to you within the App Catalog.
We'll also be making additional improvements within the Apps Catalog to assist with better search, filtering, upgrade notifications, and management. Stay tuned for these future updates.

- Support for Counters. Both the
rate
anddelta
operators now support a dedicated counter mode when working with counters. This counter mode accounts for counter resets and ensures that the operators always return non-negative values.- In the rate operator, use the
rate counter
syntax to calculate the increase in counter value between data points, considering counter resets. - In the delta operator, use the
delta counter
syntax to determine the difference in counter values between consecutive data points, accounting for counter resets.
