note

We are taking an incremental, feedback-driven approach in rolling out the new Klaw interfaces. By providing the feature flag to preview user interfaces, we would like you to share your valuable feedback.

Pre-validation of schema compatibility​

Klaw will now check all schema compatibility against the schema registry before creating the schema creation requests. This feature will only be bypassed during promotion when the 'force register schema' option is selected.

Masking of ACL information for enhanced security​

To enhance security, Klaw now masks IP Addresses, certificates, and Service Account credentials from all users except the ACL owner team. This enhancement ensures that sensitive information is only visible to authorized personnel, improving overall security.

Export data to JSON​

Klaw now allows administrators to export the database configuration and data in three parts - administrator data, requests data, and core data. This feature provides administrators with additional backup and recovery options, enabling them to manage the system more effectively.

For more information, see Export Klaw data.
