Insight 5.3 release notes
Import performance improvements
We have improved how the imports work since the release of 5.0. What we did was to change some internal structure to reduce the memory consumption during the imports and also increase the speed when importing objects to Insight.
We did this by increase the impact of the configuration option parallelism. If you want to limit the CPU utilization when importing, lower the parallelism setting.
New IQL function
Introducing the IQL function connectedJiraIssues:
object having connectedJiraIssues(JQL)Data center improvements
We have added the possibility to reindex one node in a data center environment. We also did some adjustments with the cache replication with some performance improvements.
REST API
Deprecation
The old rest API for reindex:
rest/insight/1.0/global/config/reindex/starthas been deprecated and will be removed in the next release. The replacement is the following and using POST:
rest/insight/1.0/index/reindex/startThe rest API to find objects in Insight:
/rest/insight/1.0/object/navlist
has been deprecated and will be removed in future. Use /rest/insight/1.0/object/navlist/iql instead.
JQL Functions
Deprecation
Deprecated all JQL function except the IQL function. The same behavior can be achieved with the IQL function in JQL and that function is more effective and faster.
