1.65 Breaking changes

ยท 3 min read
We're excited to announce significant improvements in Nobl9 reports, and soon, we'll be phasing out the older reports version.

Release overviewโ€‹

In release 1.65, we've introduced significant improvements to reports, which allows you to set custom and explore historical time ranges. With these changes, Nobl9 reports now offer full functionality, rendering the old Nobl9 reporting system, which previously relied on templates and allowed you to apply filters and save them as deep links, obsolete.

As we move forward, we plan to remove the old reports system entirely in the upcoming 1.66 release. If your organization still relies on the older version of Nobl9 reports, you will need to recreate your reports, as the deep links to existing reports in the old version will no longer be functional. Go to Reports documentation to see how to create new reports.
