v2.1 Release Notes

This document describes all new features and changes in the release. The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Release Overview

• Structured JSON logging via Nautobot's built-in setup_structlog_logging(): all loggers now emit JSON in production with each query log field (operation_type, operation_name, user, duration_ms, status, etc.) as a top-level key instead of a packed string.

v2.1.0 (2026-02-19)

Added

• Added structlog JSON logging support: setup_structlog_logging() integration in nautobot_config.py routes all loggers (django, nautobot, django.request, and nautobot_graphql_observability.graphql_query_log) through a single structlog handler. With plain_format=False (production default), all log output is emitted as structured JSON. The query log middleware now emits operation metadata as discrete extra fields (operation_type, operation_name, user, duration_ms, status, etc.) rather than a flat key=value string, so each field appears as a top-level JSON key in log aggregators. structlog.stdlib.ExtraAdder() is appended to the formatter's foreign_pre_chain to promote these fields automatically.
