V2.0.1 Support for more architecture and a few new features

Fixes Implemented for the following:

Addressed Notifier: SMTP URL Normalization (issue #21)

Addressed missing libraries on certain architectures (issue#23 and discussions#22)

Additional features:

• filter by stack
• create groups via filters
• Batch monitoring on/off for groups
• See how many containers are being monitored in a group in the UI

Note: on machines with insufficient resources, monitoring a lot of containers can result in performance issues. This release does not have optimizations as part of it, but the next major release will. With that in mind, we caution users to the use of the new batch monitoring feature for now.

LogForge 2.0.0 - Alert Engine, UI-first rules, safe auto-remediation

Highlights

• Alert Engine: rules on logs, container events, and performance thresholds
• Safe auto-remediation: restart, stop, kill, start, or run script with guardrails
• UI-first setup: create and manage rules, actions, and notifications in the UI
• One-click templates: stability, performance, logs, and security scenarios
• Real-time experience: live alerts, container updates, and health snapshots
• Core is source-available: backend that talks to the Docker socket is fully inspectable

What's New

• Rules engine
  • Triggers: keyword matches in logs, container lifecycle events; metric thresholds in Pro
  • Timelines: N times in M minutes and sustained for X minutes
  • Scoped rules: global, by container, or by group
  • Multi-step actions: chain actions with optional delays
• Safe automation
  • Guardrails: cooldowns, exponential backoff, rate limits, verification delays
  • Temporary disable after repeated failures to prevent loops
• Templates and duplication checks
  • Ready-made rule templates with simple customization
  • Duplicate rule protection warns on overlapping rules
• Alert history and acknowledgements
  • Clear history with pagination and quick totals
  • Acknowledge alerts to hide until new activity
• Noise controls
  • Case sensitivity, any or all keyword matching, and ignore lists
• Test and health
  • Test notifications from the UI
  • Health endpoints and live counts for rules, alerts, and containers

Core Source-Available

• The LogForge Core backend interfaces directly with the Docker socket. Core is source-available so you can review exactly what runs with that level of access.

• Thanks to early users who tested builds, shared feedback, and suggested rule templates. Logforge is actively being developed, we expect things to come up and appreciate everyone who lets us know.
