Roadmap

This page lists the big features we are working on or considering for near-future Seq releases. To check out the contents of earlier releases, please visit the What's new? page in the Seq documentation.

Shipped in 2023

• Extreme sparse index performance A new, unified storage architecture makes better use of indexes when querying recent events, yielding order-of-magnitude execution time improvements on many searches.
• Smooth multicore scaling The new query engine utilizes as many cores as the host can provide, leading to better overall utilization and faster query response times.
• Easier management in Docker and Kubernetes A range of updates make Seq work in harmony with container hosts, in a wider range of environments.

What are we working on now?

• OpenTelemetry log ingestion A native log ingestion endpoint for the OpenTelemetry Logs protocol (OTLP) — update 1, update 2.
• Redesigned datepicker and date range navigation Simpler selection of last-X-intervals and custom ranges in the Events and Dashboards views.

What's coming up?

• High availability (HA) Automatically fail-over between Seq cluster nodes.
• Scale-out query execution Fully utilize cluster resources when executing large queries and searches.
• Native metrics ingestion Ingest and store pre-aggregated metric data using OpenTelemetry and/or Prometheus protocols.
• Column (high-cardinality) indexes Opt-in to defining indexes on high-cardinality log fields such as request and trace identifiers.
• Trace visualization Visualize and navigate hierarchical relationships in diagnostic data.
• WASM app hosting and isolation Run plug-in Seq Apps using a sandboxed WASM runtime.
• SCIM/SAML integration Expose SCIM/SAML endpoints for IdP integration.

There are a lot more smaller improvements planned than we can include here. If you're curious what else is on our radar, or want to discuss any of the roadmap features in more detail, please reach out to our support team or visit the discussion board.
