The FPLv2 engine now follows JavaScript strict-mode grammar. Boolean expressions short-circuit, and assigning to a variable that was never declared fails validation. Processors in the Fluency repository are already updated; processors written or edited on your own instance may need a one-line fix. The release also splits egress statistics between EventWatch and the data lake.
FPL now runs JavaScript (ES6). Parsers and reports written in JavaScript, including code generated by AI tools, run without modification, and existing FPL code runs unchanged. The release also adds notification endpoints and restricted API tokens in tenant mode, AlienVault OTX feed lookups, and a LavaLake data-lake sink (beta). It rolled out to all instances the weekend of May 17–18, 2025.
FPL gains a generic REST API call, Grok parsing and an entity-info row lookup, and FPL reports move into the platform as a new fpl_report processor type with cron jobs. HEC and webhook sinks can skip TLS verification for endpoints with self-signed certificates. The release rolled out to all instances the week of August 12, 2024.
