New Features
Section titled “New Features”Audit Reports
Section titled “Audit Reports”Audit Reports is a brand-new capability for turning ALTR’s database activity monitoring data into formatted, reviewable compliance artifacts. Generate reports of database activity — who performed actions, what they did, and when — and review and attest to them inside ALTR.
- Run reports on demand or on a recurring schedule.
- Each generated report produces both a PDF (formatted, capped at 10,000 rows) and a CSV (uncapped — the source of truth for high-volume reports).
- Optional review-and-attestation workflow: configure zero or more approvers per report definition. Reviewers can comment and approve, and approvals are captured as a durable audit trail.
- Available for OLTP data sources (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL) via the ALTR sidecar.
Enhancements
Section titled “Enhancements”Classification
Section titled “Classification”- The Classification Report grid now includes a page size picker so you can control how many rows appear per page.
OLTP Sidecar
Section titled “OLTP Sidecar”- New
ORCL_SIDECAR_MODEenvironment variable adds a diagnostic passthrough mode for the Oracle sidecar, which forwards traffic directly to the database without inspection. Use this for troubleshooting client connection issues. Note: IDP authentication and policy enforcement are not available while passthrough mode is active — it is not intended for production use.
Policies
Section titled “Policies”- The Unified Policy API now validates OLTP policy inputs more strictly: schema identifiers are rejected for MySQL (which does not use schemas), and the database type cannot be changed after a policy is created.
Databricks
Section titled “Databricks”- Fixed a case where Databricks classification connections could get stuck in an “in progress” state.
