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 OpenSearch Dashboards?
This feed samples OpenSearch Dashboards; its latest entry is a 2.19.7 notes commit.
The feed carries release-branch commits rather than release notes, so the visible record is five entries from July 2025 to October 2026. The latest, on October 16, adds release notes for 2.19.7, which shows the 2.19 maintenance line is still being patched alongside 3.x. Before that, the 3.8.0 notes commit in July and Vega CVE fixes on 2.19 are the only substantive items.

ManageEngine Log360
0.0ANALYTICS
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.
OpenSearch Dashboards
2.5ANALYTICS
This feed samples OpenSearch Dashboards; its latest entry is a 2.19.7 notes commit.
◆ Current state
The feed carries release-branch commits rather than release notes, so the visible record is five entries from July 2025 to October 2026. The latest, on October 16, adds release notes for 2.19.7, which shows the 2.19 maintenance line is still being patched alongside 3.x. Before that, the 3.8.0 notes commit in July and Vega CVE fixes on 2.19 are the only substantive items.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.19 line keeps getting maintenance releases while 3.x moves on. The feed is too sparse to show what either line is shipping.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 2.19.x and 3.x notes commits; what they contain is unclear from this feed.
