Changelog

New updates and improvements at Cloudflare.

Log Explorer adds 14 new datasets

We've significantly enhanced Log Explorer by adding support for 14 additional Cloudflare product datasets.

This expansion enables Operations and Security Engineers to gain deeper visibility and telemetry across a wider range of Cloudflare services. By integrating these new datasets, users can now access full context to efficiently investigate security incidents, troubleshoot application performance issues, and correlate logged events across different layers (like application and network) within a single interface. This capability is crucial for a complete and cohesive understanding of event flows across your Cloudflare environment.

The newly supported datasets include:

Zone Level

  • Dns_logs
  • Nel_reports
  • Page_shield_events
  • Spectrum_events
  • Zaraz_events

Account Level

  • Audit Logs
  • Audit_logs_v2
  • Biso_user_actions
  • DNS firewall logs
  • Email_security_alerts
  • Magic Firewall IDS
  • Network Analytics
  • Sinkhole HTTP
  • ipsec_logs

Example: Correlating logs

You can now use Log Explorer to query and filter with each of these datasets. For example, you can identify an IP address exhibiting suspicious behavior in the FW_event logs, and then instantly pivot to the Network Analytics logs or Access logs to see its network-level traffic profile or if it bypassed a corporate policy.

To learn more and get started, refer to the Log Explorer documentation and the Cloudflare Logs documentation.

DEX Logpush jobs

Digital Experience Monitoring (DEX) provides visibility into WARP device metrics, connectivity, and network performance across your Cloudflare SASE deployment.

We've released four new WARP and DEX device data sets that can be exported via Cloudflare Logpush. These Logpush data sets can be exported to R2, a cloud bucket, or a SIEM to build a customized logging and analytics experience.

  1. DEX Application Tests
  2. DEX Device State Events
  3. WARP Config Changes
  4. WARP Toggle Changes

To create a new DEX or WARP Logpush job, customers can go to the account level of the Cloudflare dashboard > Analytics & Logs > Logpush to get started.

Resize your custom SQL window in Log Explorer

We're excited to announce a quality-of-life improvement for Log Explorer users. You can now resize the custom SQL query window to accommodate longer and more complex queries.

Previously, if you were writing a long custom SQL query, the fixed-size window required excessive scrolling to view the full query. This update allows you to easily drag the bottom edge of the query window to make it taller. This means you can view your entire custom query at once, improving the efficiency and experience of writing and debugging complex queries.

To learn more and get started, refer to the Log Explorer documentation.

Logpush Health Dashboards

We’re excited to introduce Logpush Health Dashboards, giving customers real-time visibility into the status, reliability, and performance of their Logpush jobs. Health dashboards make it easier to detect delivery issues, monitor job stability, and track performance across destinations. The dashboards are divided into two sections:

  • Upload Health: See how much data was successfully uploaded, where drops occurred, and how your jobs are performing overall. This includes data completeness, success rate, and upload volume.

  • Upload Reliability – Diagnose issues impacting stability, retries, or latency, and monitor key metrics such as retry counts, upload duration, and destination availability.

Health Dashboard

Health Dashboards can be accessed from the Logpush page in the Cloudflare dashboard at the account or zone level, under the Health tab. For more details, refer to our Logpush Health Dashboards documentation, which includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide to help interpret and resolve common issues.

Logpush Permission Update for Zero Trust Datasets

Permissions for managing Logpush jobs related to Zero Trust datasets (Access, Gateway, and DEX) have been updated to improve data security and enforce appropriate access controls.

To view, create, update, or delete Logpush jobs for Zero Trust datasets, users must now have both of the following permissions:

  • Logs Edit
  • Zero Trust: PII Read

Log Explorer now supports query cancellation

We're excited to announce that Log Explorer users can now cancel queries that are currently running.

This new feature addresses a common pain point: waiting for a long, unintended, or misconfigured query to complete before you can submit a new, correct one. With query cancellation, you can immediately stop the execution of any undesirable query, allowing you to quickly craft and submit a new query, significantly improving your investigative workflow and productivity within Log Explorer.

Log Explorer now shows query result distribution

We're excited to announce a new feature in Log Explorer that significantly enhances how you analyze query results: the Query results distribution chart.

This new chart provides a graphical distribution of your results over the time window of the query. Immediately after running a query, you will see the distribution chart above your result table. This visualization allows Log Explorer users to quickly spot trends, identify anomalies, and understand the temporal concentration of log events that match their criteria. For example, you can visually confirm if a spike in traffic or errors occurred at a specific time, allowing you to focus your investigation efforts more effectively. This feature makes it faster and easier to extract meaningful insights from your vast log data.

The chart will dynamically update to reflect the logs matching your current query.

Report logo misuse to Cloudflare directly from the Brand Protection dashboard

The Brand Protection logo query dashboard now allows you to use the Report to Cloudflare button to submit an Abuse report directly from the Brand Protection logo queries dashboard. While you could previously report new domains that were impersonating your brand before, now you can do the same for websites found to be using your logo without your permission. The abuse reports will be prefilled and you will only need to validate a few fields before you can click the submit button, after which our team process your request.

Ready to start? Check out the Brand Protection docs.

Azure Sentinel Connector

Logpush now supports integration with Microsoft Sentinel.The new Azure Sentinel Connector built on Microsoft’s Codeless Connector Framework (CCF), is now available. This solution replaces the previous Azure Functions-based connector, offering significant improvements in security, data control, and ease of use for customers. Logpush customers can send logs to Azure Blob Storage and configure this new Sentinel Connector to ingest those logs directly into Microsoft Sentinel.

This upgrade significantly streamlines log ingestion, improves security, and provides greater control:

  • Simplified Implementation: Easier for engineering teams to set up and maintain.
  • Cost Control: New support for Data Collection Rules (DCRs) allows you to filter and transform logs at ingestion time, offering potential cost savings.
  • Enhanced Security: CCF provides a higher level of security compared to the older Azure Functions connector.
  • Data Lake Integration: Includes native integration with Data Lake.

Find the new solution here and refer to the Cloudflare's developer documentationfor more information on the connector, including setup steps, supported logs and Microsoft's resources.

TLD Insights in Cloudflare Radar

Radar now introduces Top-Level Domain (TLD) insights, providing visibility into popularity based on the DNS magnitude metric, detailed TLD information including its type, manager, DNSSEC support, RDAP support, and WHOIS data, and trends such as DNS query volume and geographic distribution observed by the 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver.

The following dimensions were added to the Radar DNS API, specifically, to the /dns/summary/{dimension} and /dns/timeseries_groups/{dimension} endpoints:

  • tld: Top-level domain extracted from DNS queries; can also be used as a filter.
  • tld_dns_magnitude: Top-level domain ranking by DNS magnitude.

Customers can test the new DEX MCP server in less than one minute. To learn more, read the DEX MCP server documentation.

Dedicated Egress IP for Logpush

Cloudflare Logpush can now deliver logs from using fixed, dedicated egress IPs. By routing Logpush traffic through a Cloudflare zone enabled with Aegis IP, your log destination only needs to allow Aegis IPs making setup more secure.

Highlights:

  • Fixed egress IPs ensure your destination only accepts traffic from known addresses.
  • Works with any supported Logpush destination.
  • Recommended to use a dedicated zone as a proxy for easier management.

To get started, work with your Cloudflare account team to provision Aegis IPs, then configure your Logpush job to deliver logs through the proxy zone. For full setup instructions, refer to the Logpush documentation.

Extended retention

Customers can now rely on Log Explorer to meet their log retention compliance requirements.

Contract customers can choose to store their logs in Log Explorer for up to two years, at an additional cost of $0.10 per GB per month. Customers interested in this feature can contact their account team to have it added to their contract.
