## What's new

### [<mark style="color:blue;">**IONOS CLOUD Telemetry API for Logging Service**</mark>](/cloud/observability/logging-service.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
**February 27**

You can now interact with the [<mark style="color:blue;">IONOS CLOUD Telemetry API</mark>](/cloud/observability/logging-service.md) through the managed Grafana provided by the Logging Service. It is also compatible with Prometheus specifications. The Telemetry API uses the same authentication as the <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> API; hence, you can use the same API token to authenticate with the Telemetry API.

* **Effective March 15, 2024**, the Basic Authentication across <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code>’ APIs and SDKs is completely deprecated for user accounts with 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled or 2FA forced. Impacted users can only generate tokens from the **API/SDK Authentication Token Manager**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/release-notes/previous-releases/2024/february-2024.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
