Query Log Forwarding now available!

We’re excited to announce: Query Log Forwarding is now available!

With this new feature, customers can set up and manage query log forwarding directly from the Aura console. Logs can be sent to a cloud logging service of your choice, enabling better compliance, monitoring, and operational visibility.

Supported targets:

Google Cloud Logging (GCP)
CloudWatch (AWS)
Log Analytics (Microsoft Azure)

If you operate in multiple regions, you can configure a separate forwarding process for each cloud provider and region.

Key benefits:

Supports regulatory, compliance, or operational requirements where Query Log Analyzer may not suffice
Provides functionality similar to existing Security Log forwarding
Near real-time streaming — logs are forwarded as they’re generated and typically available within seconds

Once configured, all eligible AuraDB instances in the same cloud provider and region will automatically forward query logs to your chosen service. Please note that volume-based egress charges will apply.

Neo4j Aura Database August Release Update

The Neo4j Aura August release is now rolling out—starting with AuraDB Free and gradually extending to higher-tier instances.

This month brings new Cypher and Cypher Shell functionalities, and improved query performance!

Key Updates

Introduced a new Cypher function
allReduce()
to optimize variable path expansion in your queries, allowing for earlier filtering of irrelevant paths.
ALTER DATABASE privileges (including sub-privileges) can now be specified per database, and not just at DBMS.
Some queries previously unsupported by the
NEXT
statement are now supported.
Improved the performance of dynamic label queries, bringing them closer to the speed of static label lookups.
Added an option in Cypher Shell CLI to disable the command and query history.

Fixes

Server

Range index is now consistent with no index for equality comparisons over points and durations.

Cypher

Resolved a bug causing large number overflows in arithmetic operations
Fixed an issue with spatial queries (
point.distance()
and
point.withinBBox()
) that could fail to find points just outside a restricted index region.
Note: You may need to rebuild your point index for this fix to take full effect.
Corrected an error that occurred when creating multiple linked users with a parameterized username.

Adjustable Storage now available for AuraDB on AWS!

We’re excited to announce that Adjustable Storage 
is now available for AuraDB Professional
, Business Critical 
and Virtual Dedicated Cloud

This capability is available for new deployments
 and resizes
 running the latest Neo4j version
 and can be configured via both the API
 and Console
.
What’s New
With Adjustable Storage, you can now scale storage and RAM independently—giving you greater flexibility to increase storage capacity without upgrading instance size, while also reducing compute costs.
Benefits of Adjustable Storage:
Greater Flexibility: Scale resources to suit your needs
Cost Efficiency: Avoid additional compute expense when only extra storage is required
Improved Experience: Eliminate manual processes and custom workaround support requests

Now Available: Secondaries for AuraDB Business Critical

We are excited to announce that Secondaries are now available for Neo4j AuraDB Business Critical instances!
This feature, previously exclusive to our Virtual Dedicated Cloud tier, brings a new level of read scalability and high availability to our enterprise-grade, multi-tenant AuraDB offering.
Now, you can enhance your Business Critical applications by:
Boosting Read Performance: Offload read-intensive workloads—such as complex analytical queries and reporting dashboards—to a Secondary. This frees up your primary database to focus on transactional operations, improving overall application speed and responsiveness.
Higher availability: Distributing multiple Secondaries across availability zones ensures fault tolerance and high availability—an outage in one zone doesn’t impact Secondaries in other zones.
Adding a Secondary to your Business Critical instance is simple and can be done directly from the Aura Console. Please see the Docs page for further information. 
For a deeper dive into the benefits of using Secondaries, check out our detailed blog post: Boosting AuraDB Read Performance With Secondaries. 
We are thrilled to bring this much-requested feature for read scaling to our Business Critical customers.

IP Filtering Now Available for Neo4j AuraDB

Neo4j AuraDB now supports IP Filtering, enabling you to define which IP address ranges can access your graph databases. This feature provides strong, lightweight network access control without requiring private endpoint setup.
Users with Organization Admin privileges can manage filters via the Aura Console UI or Admin API, with support for up to 100 IP ranges for Virtual Dedicated Cloud (VDC) instances and 20 for Business Critical (BC). Filters can be applied across a project or individual to each database instance for consistent access policies.
IP Filtering is ideal for securing public or hybrid deployments, limiting access to trusted networks, enforcing compliance boundaries, and streamlining development environments.
Available now for AuraDB Business Critical & Virtual Dedicated Cloud tiers, with broader tier support coming in the future, see our documentation for more details.
