Fleet Manager enhancements with Neo4j 2026.03 release

With the general availability of 2026.03, Neo4j is pleased to announce two enhancements to Fleet Manager.
Simpler Setup
The fleet manager plugin is now incorporated in the Neo4j binaries and enabled by default, meaning there is no longer a need to perform plugin setup as part of installing Fleet Manager.
Setup can be achieved directly from the Aura console in three easy steps for deployments running 2026.03 or later:-
Add a self-managed instance to a project in the console
Enter a name and connection URI for the self-managed deployment, and connect to Neo4j
Confirm that fleet manager is ready and click next.
The existing manual installation and registration via the Aura API and CLI is still available. Remember to remove the plugin on 2026.03 or later when upgrading, although Neo4j will still start if the plugin is present. 
Query Log Analyzer for Self-managed Enterprise
Query Log Analyzer for self-managed Enterprise Edition databases in Fleet Manager is now available where Neo4j is running 2026.03 or later.
This is a summary only feature, and aggregate query logs are collected in 10 minute buckets and uploaded to the service. The familiar UI presents the information in the console, with time selection, filters and sorts as with Aura QLA. 
There is no ability to see individual query executions (details) for Fleet Manager; these are available on the self-managed deployment if needed.
To use the feature:- 
Ensure you are running Neo4j Enterprise Edition 2026.03 or later, and have the deployment registered in Fleet Manager
Have Neo4j configured to obfuscate query logs (db.logs.query.obfuscate_literals=true
). This will also affect the local query log files and is to prevent any potential exposure of sensitive data.
Opt-in to use the feature using the console. Choose inspect for the deployment, go to the settings tab and enable Query Log Analyzer.
Once enabled, it can take 10 minutes or more for data to be available in the console.
Documentation is available in the Aura docs for Fleet Manager.
