What's New

This release contains the following new features and enhancements.

• This enhancement includes the following new features:
  • Workforce Management Builder now supports structured logging to the file containing one-line log records formatted in JSON format. This allows integration with the centralized log aggregation and viewing systems such as Grafana and Loki. The JSON log can optionally be enabled by setting up a new set of x-json-log configuration options in the Log section. For more details on JSON logging, see the Log section of WFM Builder configuration options.
  • WFM Builder now supports distributed tracing of the HTTP requests using Open Telemetry protocol (OTLP). All HTTP requests now propagate the OTLP tracing headers. The corresponding request trace_id and span_id are also logged in the logs for tracking and integration purposes. All WFM backend servers can also be configured to export traces via OTLP gRPC exporter. This allows integration with the distributed tracing collection and visualization systems such as Grafana and Tempo. For more details on distributed tracing, see the trace section of WFM Builder configuration options.
