Tempo v2.10.2 released on 12-03-2026
Tempo v2.10.2 is out now. Operators and query authors get consistent exemplar behaviour and tighter safety caps so exemplar selection rules are enforced end-to-end and cannot be used to bypass configured limits.
See the Tempo GitHub release notes or your usual download channels for full details and upgrade instructions.
What’s in this release
- Apply exemplar hints end-to-end and fix safety cap bypass in metrics queries (PR #6559)
- Use frontend MaxExemplars configuration as the single source of truth and add a safety cap at TraceQL engine entry points to enforce exemplar limits (PR #6515)
- Default search max_result_limit increased to 256*1024 (262,144) to allow larger search result sets by default (PR #6525)
Upgrade notes
- Frontend MaxExemplars is now the single source of truth; review and set your frontend MaxExemplars and be aware the raised default search max_result_limit (256*1024) may increase resource usage — adjust deployments or limits as necessary.
- If you need to revert, roll back to a prior Tempo version using your usual process.
Let us know how the upgrade performs for you and share any feedback on the Tempo GitHub or in community channels.
