# Tenzir Node v4.21.1

## 🚀 Features

### Make the grok parser precise

Oct 11, 2024 · [@IyeOnline](https://github.com/IyeOnline) · [#4657](https://github.com/tenzir/tenzir/pull/4657)

The `grok` parser now allows better control over the schema inference.

The `grok` parser can now be directly used when reading input, allowing for `read grok`.

### Add `sample` operator

Oct 8, 2024 · [@raxyte](https://github.com/raxyte) · [#4645](https://github.com/tenzir/tenzir/pull/4645)

A new `sample` operator now provides the ability to dynamically sample input data based on the frequency of the receiving events allowing relative sampling in situations of varying load.

## 🐞 Bug Fixes

### Enable azure-blob-storage in the DEB and RPM packages

Oct 11, 2024 · [@tobim](https://github.com/tobim) · [#4649](https://github.com/tenzir/tenzir/pull/4649)

The `azure-blob-storage` connector is now also available in the static linux binary distributions.

### Fix incorrect context updates count in lookup metrics

Oct 10, 2024 · [@dominiklohmann](https://github.com/dominiklohmann) · [#4655](https://github.com/tenzir/tenzir/pull/4655)

We fixed a bug that caused the `context_updates` field in `metrics lookup` to be reported once per field specified in the corresponding `lookup` operator instead of being reported once per operator in total.

### Switch the index to basic messaging

Oct 9, 2024 · [@tobim](https://github.com/tobim) · [#4613](https://github.com/tenzir/tenzir/pull/4613)

We fixed a bug that sometimes caused the `tenzir-node` process to hang on shutdown. This was most likely to happen when the node shut down immediately after starting up, e.g., because of an invalid configuration file.

### Fix double-closing fds in the python operator

Oct 7, 2024 · [@lava](https://github.com/lava) · [#4646](https://github.com/tenzir/tenzir/pull/4646)

Fixed a bug in the python operator that could lead to random valid file descriptors in the parent process being closed prematurely.
