Cortexv1.21.0ObservabilityApr 27, 2026

A feature and maintenance release that adds Store Gateway, federation, overrides, caching, metric, and query capabilities while graduating several experimental features. It also changes defaults and configuration names, updates dependencies, and fixes correctness, memory, panic, and data-corruption defects.

Action needed (1)

  • breakingThe blocks storage bucket index default

    Blocks storage now enables the bucket index by default through -blocks-storage.bucket-store.bucket-index.enabled. Disabling it with -blocks-storage.bucket-store.bucket-index.enabled=false is not recommended for production.

Check if affected (1)

  • breakingThe Distributor type and unit label flag

    Applies if you configure either -distributor.enable-type-and-unit-labels or -distributor.otlp.enable-type-and-unit-labels for remote write v2 and OTLP requests.

    The Distributor adds the per-tenant -distributor.enable-type-and-unit-labels flag for adding __unit__ and __type__ labels to remote write v2 and OTLP requests. The -distributor.otlp.enable-type-and-unit-labels flag is deprecated, operates as a no-op, and is consolidated into the new flag.

Plan ahead (3)

  • breakingThe Ruler API flag rename

    Applies if you configure -experimental.ruler.enable-api.

    The -experimental.ruler.enable-api flag is renamed to -ruler.enable-api in the Ruler. The old flag remains available as deprecated.

  • breakingThe Alertmanager API flag rename

    Applies if you configure -experimental.alertmanager.enable-api.

    The -experimental.alertmanager.enable-api flag is renamed to -alertmanager.enable-api in Alertmanager. The old flag remains available as deprecated.

  • breakingThe Users Scanner user index update configuration

    Applies if you configure either -*.users-scanner.user-index.cleanup-interval or clean_up_interval.

    The Users Scanner flag -*.users-scanner.user-index.cleanup-interval is renamed to -*.users-scanner.user-index.update-interval. The clean_up_interval field is renamed to update_interval within the users_scanner configuration block.
