Release Release notes
Zurich - **[View alerts in the Stream Connect dashboard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=stream-connect-dashboard&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)** Get detailed information about alerts, including their severity level, state, type, and the affected entity in the Stream Connect dashboard.
Australia - **[Stream Producer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=stream-producer&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)** Automatically stream changes from ServiceNow tables to Kafka topics with Stream Producer. Stream Producer uses change data capture \(CDC\) technology to capture inserts, updates, and deletes on selected tables. The captured changes are formatted as messages and sent to a Kafka topic, enabling real-time data synchronization with external applications. - **[Stream Producer schemas](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=schema-management&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)** Stream Producer supports the Avro serialization format for message payloads. When using an Avro format, Stream Producer uses the selected table's auto-generated schema to convert CDC payloads to Avro before sending them to Kafka.
