compliance audits
, and integrate Aura event data with your
SIEM
tools.

Aura Agent (Preview)

We’re excited to announce that Aura Agent is now available in our Early Access Program (EAP) for all Aura customers — across AuraDB Free, Professional, and Business Critical instances!
With Aura Agent, you can create, test, and deploy knowledge-graph–grounded AI agents in minutes — directly from the Aura console. This no-/low-code platform simplifies the process of building GraphRAG agents, so you can focus on solving real problems instead of wrestling with infrastructure.
image
Key Features
  • No-/low-code agent builder: Create and configure AI agents directly in the Aura console
  • Graph-grounded explainability: Agents provide accurate, transparent reasoning with answers derived from your AuraDB knowledge graph
Flexible retrieval tools:
  • Cypher templates (for precise query logic)
  • Vector similarity search (for semantic similarity with embeddings)
  • Text2Cypher (for ad-hoc natural language queries)
  • Agent deployment: Test in the console or deploy to an external Aura API endpoint with Aura API authentication
Why It Matters
  • Faster experimentation: Go from idea → working GraphRAG agent in minutes
  • Enterprise-ready foundation: While EAP is experimental, GA later this year will bring full production support
  • Broad applicability: If you have a knowledge graph in Aura, you can build an agent on it
To get started, please check out the following resources:
We're excited to hear your feedback!

Neo4j Aura Database September Release Update

The Neo4j Aura September release is now rolling out—starting with AuraDB Free and gradually extending to higher-tier instances.
This month's release introduces a new function in Cypher 25, performance improvements and better error messages.
Key updates
  • New
    format()
    Function in Cypher 25
    : You can now format temporal values into a custom string pattern directly in your query.
  • Smarter Query Planner
    : We’ve improved the query planner's logic to more frequently choose a faster index scan, boosting performance for certain queries.
  • Better Cypher Version Errors
    : If you run a valid Cypher 25 query while in Cypher 5 mode, the error message will now inform you that the query would succeed in Cypher 25, making it easier to identify and resolve version-specific syntax issues.
Fixes
  • Fixed a very rare bug where a uniqueness constraint could incorrectly allow duplicate properties while the index was being populated.
  • Resolved an issue that could lead to incorrect results for queries using
    shortestPath()
    in combination with an
    all()
    predicate.
  • Addressed several bugs that could lead to errors, including NullPointerException during concurrent node deletions, OutOfMemoryError during query planning, and failures in queries using pipelined runtime.
  • Relationship indexes are now correctly displayed in the output of SHOW TRANSACTIONS.

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.
image
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.
For full details, see our documentation
