Enhancements

Core MQTT Functionalities

• #​13739 Added support for clearing monitor (statistics) data for the whole cluster. You can now send a DELETE request to the api/v5/monitor endpoint to clear all collected monitoring metrics.

• #​14247 Log the client attribute tns if it exists in the client metadata.

  If the client_attrs.tns attribute is present, it will now be included in the log metadata. However, if the client ID is already prefixed with the tns value, it will not be logged again to avoid duplication.

• #​14353 Improved robustness of session rebalance and evacuation process. Previously, the session evacuation process could enter a dead loop under certain clustering errors.

Rule Engine

• #​14369 Introduced two size-related functions in the rule engine:
  • is_empty : Return true if the map or array is empty.
  • map_size : Return the size of a map.

Configuration Files

• #​14269 Added etc/base.hocon config file. In this release, we introduced a new configuration file, etc/base.hocon, to enhance configuration management and clarity.

  Previously, emqx.conf was the only place for manually configured settings. However, because it was the top-most layer of the configuration override hierarchy, it caused some confusion. While mutable (not read-only) configurations set in emqx.conf could be changed through the UI, API, or CLI and take effect immediately, those changes would not persist after a node restart, leading to inconsistent behavior.

  To address this, we added etc/base.hocon as a foundational configuration layer. The updated configuration precedence order, from top to bottom, is now as follows:

  1. Environment variables
  2. etc/emqx.conf
  3. data/configs/cluster.hocon
  4. etc/base.hocon

  The etc/base.hocon file serves as the base layer for configurations. While configurations in this file can still be modified after the node starts, it ensures consistent behavior and proper configuration overriding.

Observability

• #​14360 Added listener shutdown counts labeled by shutdown reason to Prometheus metrics, under the emqx_client_disconnected_reason counters. Example output:

  emqx_client_disconnected_reason{node="[email protected]",reason="takenover"} 1
  emqx_client_disconnected_reason{node="[email protected]",reason= 1
  

  Currently, this feature is limited to TCP and TLS listeners only.

Bug Fixes

Core MQTT Functionalities

• #​14248 Fixed intermittent connectivity issues between cluster nodes that could lead to partial loss of cluster-wide routing table state. This fix ensures better consistency and reliability across the cluster.
• #​14272 Fixed an issue where the auto_subscribe configuration loaded via the CLI showed a success message but failed to take effect.
• #​14424 Fixed an issue where membership messages related to exclusive subscriptions were incorrectly logged as unexpected_info warnings.

REST API

• #​14317 Fixed an issue where the HTTP API could return an empty page when calculating pagination.

Data Integration

• #​14318 Fixed an issue with the initialization of the HTTP connector state. This fix resolves crashes related to the function_clause error that could occur when an HTTP action processed incoming traffic while its underlying connector was being restarted. Before this fix, the logs would show cryptic error messages like:

  20:42:36.850 [error] msg: "resource_exception", info: #{error => {error, function_clause}, id => <<"action:http:a:connector:http:a">>, name => call_query, ...
  

• #​14319 Refactored the internal state machine for resource management, eliminating several race condition bugs. One example is the HTTP action, which, when handling incoming traffic and experiencing health check flapping, could previously result in errors like the following:

  2024-11-29T14:58:17.994119+00:00 [error] msg: action_not_found, connector: <<"connector:http:a">>, action_id: <<"action:http:a:connector:http:a">
  

• #​14362 Refactored the resource manager state machine to prevent race conditions that could lead to inconsistent states.

• #​14429 Fixed the handling of rule action metrics when the underlying connector is disabled. Previously, the failed counter would increment twice for each message—once under the unknown category and once under out_of_service. With this fix, only the out_of_service counter is incremented, providing more accurate metrics.

Command Line Interface

• #​14357 Fix an issue with bin/emqx help command. This fix ensures that the help command now displays the correct usage information. Now, the help command displays the proper details, making it easier for users to understand how to use the command.

Configuration File

• #​14371 Fixed an issue where client ID override expressions rendered undefined or null as the literal strings "undefined" or "null". Now, these values are correctly displayed as empty strings, providing cleaner and more intuitive outputs when variables are not set or have no value
• #​14376 Enhanced configuration import to handle non-existing log file directories. If the specified log file directory does not exist, the system will now fall back to the default log directory "${EMQX_LOG_DIR}", ensuring smoother operation without errors.

Observability

• #​14267 Modified the logging behavior to avoid redacting secrets in logs and HTTP responses when the secret string is a file path (e.g., file:///path/to/the/secret).

• Resolve the function_clause error that occurs when retrieving the emqx_license_expiry_at Prometheus value for a perpetual license.

Breaking Changes

• #​14360 When requesting Prometheus metrics in JSON format, the client top-level key will now always be an array of JSON objects, rather than a single JSON object. This change may affect how your monitoring tools process the data.
