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.

What is OpenHouse?

OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.

OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.

ManageEngine Log360 vs OpenHouse: editorial side-by-side

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.

ANALYTICS
5.0

OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.

◆ Current state

OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.

◆ Where it's heading

OpenHouse is adding the controls a shared lakehouse needs at scale: quotas, audit trails and retention that matches business calendars. Views are getting the same governance tables already had.

◆ Prediction

Expect more views milestones after audit (the release is labeled Views M1), and further operator controls for quotas and maintenance.
