New - As part of our new API-centric development approach, we have several Sumo Logic APIs now available. Contact your sales rep to sign up to be one of our Beta Customers for the following APIs:
And the following APIs are coming soon:
New - Receipt time is now available for scheduled searches, share links for searches, pinned searches, and Search Job API queries. To support receipt time, the Search Job API has a new parameter,byReceiptTime.
Techniques that manage load, like rate limiting and throttling, help keep the Sumo platform reliable and stable. Towards that end, a new Search Job API throttling limit was introduced today. Until now, search jobs were subject only to the global rate limit: each user is limited to four API requests/second. Now, to improve reliability Sumo is limiting the number of active search jobs for a given account to 200. To manage the number of active search jobs, you can manually clear completed searches.
For more information, see Search Job API throttling.
