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 Apache Storm?

Storm 3.1 adds an Iceberg sink and closes a long list of security gaps in Nimbus and the UI.

Storm runs a 3.x line, started in July with 3.0.0's removal of all Clojure and a Java 21 baseline, alongside 2.8.x maintenance. 3.1.0 on September 12 adds a storm-iceberg module with an Apache Iceberg sink bolt and a setting to control JSONP wrapping, and spends most of its notes on hardening: log listings filtered by user permission, jar locations restricted to the Nimbus inbox, blobstore names confined to topology directories, TLS peer verification for worker connections and required Kryo class registration.

ManageEngine Log360 vs Apache Storm: 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.

Apache Storm
ANALYTICS
0.0

Storm 3.1 adds an Iceberg sink and closes a long list of security gaps in Nimbus and the UI.

◆ Current state

Storm runs a 3.x line, started in July with 3.0.0's removal of all Clojure and a Java 21 baseline, alongside 2.8.x maintenance. 3.1.0 on September 12 adds a storm-iceberg module with an Apache Iceberg sink bolt and a setting to control JSONP wrapping, and spends most of its notes on hardening: log listings filtered by user permission, jar locations restricted to the Nimbus inbox, blobstore names confined to topology directories, TLS peer verification for worker connections and required Kryo class registration.

◆ Where it's heading

After the 2.8.6 and 2.8.7 CVE releases, the 3.x line is closing access-control gaps across Nimbus, the logviewer and worker transport. The Iceberg sink adds a direct path into lakehouse storage.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.1.x follow-ups, possibly with security advisories for the hardened paths, and continued 2.8.x maintenance; whether more lakehouse connectors follow is unclear.
