Release Notes

5.7.0 (2023-10-04)

What's new?

  • We've updated the runtime of the lambda functions to Node 18. You wouldn't notice any difference and things will continue to work smoothly and consistently as before.
  • Users can now perform quick actions on resources to remediate cloud configuration issues or skip Turbot alarms for issues that they want to come back to later. To get started, click on the Actions button, which will reveal a dropdown menu with available actions, and select one. See Quick Actions for more information.

Action Types

Added

  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Delete from AWS
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Set Tags
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Skip alarm for Active control
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Skip alarm for Active control [90 days]
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Skip alarm for Approved control
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Skip alarm for Approved control [90 days]
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Skip alarm for Tags control
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Skip alarm for Tags control [90 days]

5.6.1 (2022-02-24)

Bug fixes

  • The AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Discovery control would go into an error state while upserting alarms into Turbot CMDB if an alarm name included special characters. This is now fixed.

5.6.0 (2022-02-16)

What's new?

  • Users can now create their own custom checks against resource attributes in the Approved control using the Approved > Custom policy. These custom checks would be a part of the evaluation of the Approved control. Custom messages can also be added which are then displayed in the control details table. See Custom Checks for more information.

Bug fixes

  • We've improved the process of deleting resources from Turbot if their CMDB policy was set to Enforce: Disabled. The CMDB controls will now not look to resolve credentials via Turbot's IAM role while deleting resources from Turbot. This will allow the CMDB controls to process resource deletions from Turbot more reliably than before.

Policy Types

Added

  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > Approved > Custom

5.5.0 (2022-01-06)

What's new?

  • AWS/CloudWatch/Metadata AWS/CloudWatch/Operator now include permissions for Insight Rules and Metric Stream.

5.4.0 (2021-07-19)

What's new?

  • AWS/Cloudwatch/Metadata now includes get metric widget image permissions.

Control Types

Added

  • AWS > CloudWatch > Stack

Policy Types

Added

  • AWS > CloudWatch > Stack
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Stack > Secret Variables
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Stack > Source
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Stack > Terraform Version
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Stack > Variables

5.3.0 (2021-07-08)

What's new?

  • We've improved the details tables in the Tags controls to be more helpful, especially when a resource's tags are not set correctly as expected. Previously, to understand why the Tags controls were in an Alarm state, you would need to find and read the control's process logs. This felt like too much work for a simple task, so now these details are visible directly from the control page.

5.2.0 (2021-07-02)

What's new?

  • AWS/CloudWatch/Operator now includes synthetic monitoring permissions.

Bug fixes

  • The AWS > Turbot > Event Handlers > Events > Rules > Event Sources > @turbot/aws-cloudwatch policy no longer includes aws.tagging as an event source. This event source was unnecessary as CloudWatch has its own tagging events, which are captured through the aws.monitoring event source. Removal of the aws.tagging event source will greatly reduce the number of unnecessary tagging events that Turbot listens for and handles today.

5.1.3 (2021-01-07)

Bug fixes

  • We'd sometimes fail to delete alarms automatically from Turbot due to mishandled DeleteAlarms event. This is now fixed.

5.1.2 (2020-12-17)

Bug fixes

  • Controls run faster now when in the tbd and skipped states thanks to the new Turbot Precheck feature (not to be confused with TSA PreCheck). With Turbot Precheck, controls avoid running GraphQL input queries when in tbd and skipped, resulting in faster and lighter control runs.

5.1.1 (2020-09-23)

Bug fixes

  • We've made some improvements to our real-time event handling that reduces the risk of creating resources in CMDB with malformed AKAs. There's no noticeable difference, but things should run more reliably now.
  • AWS > CloudWatch > Alarm > CMDB control would go into an error state if the alarm name had a colon (:). This issue has now been fixed.

5.1.0 (2020-09-01)

What's new?

  • Discovery controls now have their own control category, CMDB > Discovery, to allow for easier filtering separately from other CMDB controls.
  • We've renamed the service's default regions policy from Regions [Default] to Regions to be consistent with our other regions policies.

5.0.5 (2020-08-11)

Bug fixes

  • In various Active controls, we were outputting log messages that did not properly show how many days were left until we'd delete the inactive resources (we were still deleting them after the correct number of days). These log messages have been fixed and now contain the correct number of days.

5.0.4 (2020-06-30)

Bug fixes

  • Sometimes when updating CMDB for resources with tags that have empty string values, e.g., [{Key: "Empty", Value: ""}, {Key: "Turbot is great", Value: "true"}], we would not store all of the tags correctly. This has been fixed and now all tags are accounted for.

5.0.3 (2020-05-14)

Bug fixes

  • Links to documentation in the descriptions for several controls and policies were broken. These links have now been fixed.
