We are pleased to announce that SL1 Ibiza 12.3.5 is now available. The release and documentation can be accessed using the following links: https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/release-file/aBtVL00000011wX0AQ/1236 If you are planning to consume SL1 Ibiza 12.3.6, be advised of the following: The 12.3.6 release is available only as a patch; there is no ISO version. You can upgrade to this release directly from the following SL1 releases: 12.3.5 12.3.0 12.2.7 SL1 12.1.2, if all of your SL1 appliances have been converted to OL8 12.2.x and 12.3.x STIG-compliant users can upgrade to this release so long as they have not consumed or upgraded to the 12.3.0 STIG release. If you previously deployed or upgraded to 12.3.0 STIG, you cannot upgrade to 12.3.6 STIG due to a known technical issue. AWS deployments that are using Aurora 3 can upgrade to this release. If you are currently deployed using Aurora 2, you can upgrade to this release but you must perform a post-upgrade Aurora 2 to 3 conversion. SL1 12.3.6 is Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN)-certified. NOTE: If you are on 12.1.2, you should upgrade directly to 12.3.6 without consuming the 12.2.x releases. WARNING: If you are upgrading from a version prior to 12.2.3, then after upgrading SL1, you must also upgrade MariaDB 10.4.x to version 10.6.18. Failure to perform this MariaDB upgrade can cause major functionality issues in SL1. IMPORTANT: You can consume SL1 12.3.6 only if you are upgrading from an earlier SL1 version that supports upgrades to this release. There is no ISO version for version 12.3.6.

In case you hadn’t already heard, ScienceLogic has been named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms 1 . In our view that’s a great opportunity for new ops teams to get to know ScienceLogic. But as part of the Nexus Community working with the SL1 platform, Restorepoint, or Skylar AI for any length of time, that recognition isn’t a surprise at all. You already knew. This isn’t one of those “we’ve arrived” moments for us, especially against a backdrop providing rich monitoring, digital understanding, and automation innovation for over two decades. Instead, we feel it’s a moment of gratefulness and appreciation for the ScienceLogic user community. You have solved one “impossible IT challenge” after another in some of the world’s most complex environments. You’ve tamed local, hybrid, and multi-cloud ops, with workloads and dataflows spanning from mainframes to Kubernetes. The stories you share with us chronicle this. You’re closing observability gaps across your operations, automating swaths of previously manual troubleshooting and remediation steps, and better, freeing your team from tedium and toil to focus their skill on technology innovation and growing the business. Observability, Turbocharged We believe this most recent analyst recognition comes at a pivotal time for IT operations, and we’re excited by the analyst’s research for Observability Platforms. Once focused on providing dashboards for DevOps, APM, and SRE teams, organizations like yours have found that the tenants of observability are useful across all aspects of service delivery, not just a slice of the stack. From human users on a mobile app, to service front ends, to compute, networks, storage and more, modern Observability offers helps you understand what’s happening anywhere in real-world ops. To us, Gartner’s recognition is a validation of the innovative work you do every day. We believe it’s about your expert understanding of the transformational value of real-time insight and automated action, and about how ScienceLogic customers like you deliver outstanding digital experiences even while building modern ops muscle. You’re holding ops together with fewer people, managing tighter timelines, and meeting ever-increasing quality expectations every day. What’s Your Observability Story? We’d love to hear your thoughts on Observability and extending visibility and insight beyond traditional monitoring and log analysis. Also, feel free to share your thoughts below about the evolution of Observability to support the larger organization and new teams. You’ll find detailed insight into modern Observability included in the report, so be sure to check that out in full here. Also, you still also have time to register for our live conference, Nexus Live, October 7-9. The bulk of Nexus Live’s tracks and sessions will be dedicated to observability, best practices, technology advances, and demonstrations of new observability features for your environment. Best of all, it’s a chance to meet other ops experts, and of course we’d love to see you there too. Thank you for your contributions to the evolution of observability. But then again, Logicians like you have always been ahead of the curve. ....
