Governance Upgrade: Versioning introduced for Bulk Data Validations (BDV) to track, compare, and roll back configuration changes.
Enhanced Observability: Integration of Serilog for structured, contextual application logging and faster troubleshooting.

Governance & Versioning

Versioning for Bulk Data Validations (BDV)

Bulk Data Validations now support full version control and history tracking.

Capabilities include:

Create and manage multiple BDV scenario versions.
Compare versions to view configuration or rule differences.
Track user activity (who made the change and when).
Roll back to a previous version if required.

Why it matters:
This brings BDV in line with Query Chain and Validation Scenario versioning — delivering a consistent governance layer across all scenario types. It enables audit readiness, change traceability, and rollback assurance.

Logging & Observability

Enhanced Web App Logging with Serilog

The DataTrust Web Application now leverages Serilog, a robust structured logging framework for .NET, enhancing log quality and troubleshooting capabilities.

Enhancements include:

Structured logs for easier parsing and filtering.
Better traceability across services and user actions.
Compatibility with observability platforms like Azure Application Insights, Elastic, and Splunk.

Why it matters:
Serilog provides deeper visibility into the DataTrust application’s runtime behavior, allowing admins to quickly identify root causes and maintain platform reliability.
