What is Apache HertzBeat?

HertzBeat's 1.9.0 is on its second release candidate, and the feed still skips 1.8.0.

HertzBeat's tracked entries are mostly release candidates. v1.9.0-rc1 in July split hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules and carried monitoring template fixes and internationalization work. v1.9.0-rc2 in September is titled only by its one visible change, a fix that makes the Windows native collector start. The 1.8.0 release referenced in rc1's own notes never appears in the feed.

What is ManageEngine Log360?

Log360's September build fixes the migration to the unified console.

ManageEngine Log360 is consolidating its components into Unified Log360, with a PPM in June that lets standalone deployments migrate. Builds since then mix security fixes, including an unauthenticated collector registration bypass and an authentication bypass in August, with marketplace extensions for CrowdStrike, Okta and Bitdefender. Build 13073 in September is a set of hotfixes for migration problems: failed dashboard migrations, IAM errors after login, and notification settings not saving.

Apache HertzBeat vs ManageEngine Log360: editorial side-by-side

A0.0

HertzBeat's 1.9.0 is on its second release candidate, and the feed still skips 1.8.0.

◆ Current state

HertzBeat's tracked entries are mostly release candidates. v1.9.0-rc1 in July split hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules and carried monitoring template fixes and internationalization work. v1.9.0-rc2 in September is titled only by its one visible change, a fix that makes the Windows native collector start. The 1.8.0 release referenced in rc1's own notes never appears in the feed.

◆ Where it's heading

The 1.9.0 cycle is moving slowly, about seven weeks between candidates, and the rc2 fix points at native collector builds as current work. The release record stays thin, so most of what changes has to be read from the repository.

◆ Prediction

A 1.9.0 final or a further candidate is the next likely entry; nothing in the feed suggests timing.

M0.0

Log360's September build fixes the migration to the unified console.

◆ Current state

ManageEngine Log360 is consolidating its components into Unified Log360, with a PPM in June that lets standalone deployments migrate. Builds since then mix security fixes, including an unauthenticated collector registration bypass and an authentication bypass in August, with marketplace extensions for CrowdStrike, Okta and Bitdefender. Build 13073 in September is a set of hotfixes for migration problems: failed dashboard migrations, IAM errors after login, and notification settings not saving.

◆ Where it's heading

The migration to the unified architecture is generating its own stream of fixes, while security patches continue at a monthly pace. Integrations are moving into marketplace extensions rather than core builds.

◆ Prediction

More hotfix builds for the unified migration are likely; no new build has appeared in the feed since mid-September.
