Reduce Issue Triage with Contextual Log Verification
We are excited to enhance our ML-based release risk verification to understand different contexts for log message clusters. In our previous release, we were able to identify if a log-cluster with error repeats. Now, you automatically get the different context for the same error cutting down your issue resolution even further.

Our industry-leading machine learning-based verification continues to expand its sources of data ingest with the addition of DataDog Log (DataDog metrics has been supported previously) and AppDynamics Metrics. These new sources build on top of existing support for Prometheus, Stackdriver, Cloudwatch, ELK, etc.
Self-Service to Add New Data Sources for Real-time Approvals
With OES release 3.7, we have enabled self-service ways for our customers to add their own sources of data to include for review as part of the real-time approval process.
