Tenzir v4.14

Introducing Tenzir v4.14: A major update to the summarize operator with new aggreagtion functions, and support for slicing with strides.

Introducing Streaming Aggregation

Our summarize operator just got a whole lot smarter! With new timeout and update-timeout options, you can now perform streaming aggregations. These settings determine how long a bucket remains active based on when the first and last events arrive. timeout keeps events for a specified duration, while update-timeout helps finalize buckets sooner when grouped events arrive quickly.

New Statistical Aggregation Functions

Get ready to enhance your data analysis with four new aggregation functions:

• mean: Calculates the average of grouped numeric values.
• approximate_median: Uses the t-digest algorithm to find an approximate median for grouped numbers.
• stddev: Computes the standard deviation of grouped numeric values.
• variance: Calculates the variance within the grouped data.

These functions will help you gain more insights and precision in your data summaries.

Enhanced Slicing with Strides

The slice operator now has a more flexible argument format: <begin>:<end>. Here are some examples:

• slice 10:: Skips the first ten events.
• slice 10:20: Includes events from 10 to 19.
• slice :-10: Omits the last ten events.

We've also added support for strides. Use slice <begin>:<end>:<stride> to specify steps between events. Want to reverse the event order? The new reverse operator does just that, equivalent to slice ::-1.
