Chronograf 1.9.3 – Release Notes
This latest release of Chronograf includes the following new improvements and fixes:
Security
- Upgraded
bluemonday
component to resolve CVE-2021-29272. - Ensure enforcement of access to one and only one organization between multiple tabs.
Kapacitor Integration
- You can now rename a TICKscript. Chronograf already extracts the TICKscript name from the
name
variable within the script itself. If noname
variable is present, the TICKscript's ID is used as its name. This improvement inserts or modifies thename
variable in the script upon a name change. The TICKScript thus must be saved to persist the change. Users are warned about unsaved changes when exiting without saving, which is consistent with all other types of changes on the page (editor, type, database, retention policy, etc.).
