GraphQL Beta version Released in the JFrog Platform
This version of GraphQL is a beta version and for now, it only has a limited set of capabilities till future additions are made.
JFrog's Metadata Service has now enabled the integration of the metadata server with the GraphQL public API. Currently, only packages are supported, with more GraphQL capabilities coming in the near future. You can use the graphiql to learn about the GraphQL metadata schema and as a playground to test your queries. To access it, <your server url>/metadata/api/v1/query/graphiql.
Artifactory Open Metrics Support
Artifactory 7.7 has been enhanced to support open metrics. The new Get the Open Metrics for Artifactory REST API command has been added and returns the following metrics in the Open Metrics format. The following two new metric-related log files are added to the file system:
artifactory_metrics.log: Contains system metrics such as:Total disk space used
Total disk space free
Time CPU is used by the process
artifactory_metrics_events.log: Contains deduplicated metrics related to an event such as a GC run.
Feature Enhancements
Improved LDAP Pagination Support Usage
Added the Used Page Results parameter in the LDAP page to support LDAP Group pagination. This is supported for LDAP servers with more than 1000 groups which support groups pagination to allow admins to use paged LDAP results. For unsupported LDAP servers, admins can disable the LDAP pagination results via the UI or Artifactory's configuration files, thereby improving LDAP performance and calls.
Persistent Expiry Threshold Token
Added the new persistent-expiry-threshold parameter allowing you to set the minimum value of expiry a token in order for the token to be saved in the DB to the Access YAML Configuration file.
Indexing Improvements for Npm Packages
Implemented incremental indexing as part of the existing npm indexing mechanism resulting in reduced time to build the package index.
Improved Export and Access Federation Performance in an HA Environment
Minimized the load for the Export and Access Federation processes in an HA environment when using JFrog Distribution.
Artifactory Now Supports MySQL 8 Out-of-the-box
