Removes legacy data table

To auto-fit the table row height, create an aggregation-based data table, click Options, then select Auto fit rows to content.

Removes the legacy area, bar, and line charts library

Removes the Timelion app

Details
The Timelion app is no longer supported. For more information, refer to #110255

Impact
When you upgrade to 7.16.0, you are unable to use the Timelion app. The Timelion visualization editor is still supported.

Replaces Osquery scheduled query groups with packs

Details
Queries are now scheduled using packs. For more information, refer to #107345.

Impact
When you upgrade to 7.16.0, any existing scheduled query groups are converted to packs. Queries in the updated packs are scheduled for the same agent policy as the original scheduled query group. Action IDs for scheduled queries in a pack have the format pack_<pack_name>_<query ID>.

New scheduled query action ID format for Osquery Manager

Details
Action IDs for scheduled queries have been changed, which may break dashboards, alerts, or other features that depend on Osquery action IDs.

Impact
Previously, scheduled query action IDs used the query ID. For example, if you scheduled a query with the name rpm_packages, the action ID would be rpm_packages. Now, scheduled query action IDs use the pack_<scheduled query group name>_<query ID> format. For example, if you have a scheduled query with the name rpm_packages in a group named system_monitoring, the action ID would be pack_system_monitoring_rpm_packages.

Removes support for legacy charts library

Details
The legacy area, line, and charts library are deprecated in 7.15.0. In 7.16.0, support for the legacy charts library will be removed. For more information, refer to #105055.

Impact
When you upgrade, Kibana uses the new charts library by default, which includes improved performance, color palettes, fill capacity, and more.

If you have changed the default Advanced Settings, you must disable the legacy charts library to use the new charts library:

  1. Open the main menu, then click Stack Management > Advanced Settings.
  2. Deselect Legacy charts library.
