We’ve added two new severity fields, SeverityNumber and SeverityText, to the OpenTelemetry Collector. These fields provide more comprehensive log data with minimal operational risk, enabling deeper insights and more accurate workflows.

In this release, we've enhanced the security and stability of the Collector with added support for security patches.

• Upgraded collector JRE to Amazon Corretto Version 17.0.17.10.1.
• Upgraded com.tanuki:wrapper to version 3.6.3.
• Upgraded org.bouncycastle:bc-fips to version 1.0.2.6 to address known security vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-8885).
• Known issues when upgrading to this version:
  • Collector running as non-root user. Collector running as non-root user (run as mode) cannot be upgraded through the API/Web UI. It displays an error message indicating that the upgrade is not possible. The upgrade must be performed manually on your machine. Follow the steps to upgrade manually.
  • Collector running on Mac. Collector running on a Mac operating system cannot be upgraded through the API/Web UI. The process will stop, and the collector will need to be restarted manually on your machine if upgraded using API or Web UI. Use the below code to manually restart.

    sudo ./collector start
    

We’re pleased to announce the following updates for OpenTelemetry collectors:

In this release, we've added two important updates to Installed Collectors to enhance performance, security, and ensure long-term support.

Java upgrade and end of support for legacy versions​

With Java 8 reaching its end of public updates in January 2019, and with newer Java versions offering significant improvements in both performance and security, we are upgrading our Installed Collectors to Java 17. This change applies differently depending on how your collectors are configured:

• For collectors using default Sumo Logic bundled Corretto JRE. This deprecation will not affect you as the upgrade to JRE 17 happens automatically when you update your collector to version 19.533-5. No immediate action is required.
• For collectors with custom JRE setups. If you're using a custom JRE configuration, including binary installer-based deployments, custom deployment scripts, or containerized collectors with JRE 8 or 11, you must manually upgrade to JRE 17 to maintain compatibility and support. After January 31, 2026, your existing collectors will continue to run. However, you will not be able to upgrade or download new collector versions using JRE 8 or 11.

End of support for Windows 32-bit (WIN 32) systems​

To align with Microsoft’s end-of-life for Windows 32-bit systems and ensure a secure, stable platform for all users, Sumo Logic will end support for Installed Collectors running on WIN 32 machines from January 31, 2026. After this date, the collectors on WIN 32 will no longer be supported and upgrades and new collector downloads for WIN 32 will be disabled.

To maintain support and access to the latest features, migrate your collectors to Windows 64-bit or another supported operating system as soon as possible.

In this release, we've resolved the JRE upgrade issue that occurred during collector upgrades.

We're happy to announce that Sumo Logic now enables you to remotely update the collector timezone for OpenTelemetry collectors through the UI in the OpenTelemetry collector edit flow. You can select the timezone of your choice while editing the collector. If you do not make a selection, the timezone will be set to (UTC) Etc/UTC by default.

• Simplify configuration. Set up and manage data collection for multiple collectors without server access.
• Streamline workflows. Use tags to group collectors and apply centralized data source templates, reducing redundancy and manual effort.
• Enhance automation. Automatically monitor new servers by tagging them during setup.
• Accelerate time to value. Start collecting data in minutes with an intuitive UI and no need to manage configuration files.
