Known issues
edit-
Enterprise Search
This issue affects versions 8.15.0, 8.15.1, and 8.15.2.
This issue is fixed in version 8.15.3.
We strongly recommend all users upgrade to version 8.15.3 to resolve this issue.
We have identified a known issue affecting Enterprise Search users due to a dependency bug. This issue impacts both Elastic Cloud and self-managed deployments. The following functionalities are confirmed to be impacted:
-
Workplace Search Content Sources:
- Configuration of Workplace Search content sources may become impossible.
-
Web Crawler Settings:
- Web crawler settings may not function correctly in the Kibana UI.
-
APM Integration:
- On Elastic Cloud (ESS), APM integration fails (enabled by default).
- On self-managed deployments, APM integration fails (if explicitly enabled by user).
-
New features
edit- The Sharepoint Server connector is now available as a native connector (managed service) on Elastic Cloud.
-
The following connectors now support document-level security (DLS):
- We added incremental sync support for the Notion connector. (See PR #2547)
-
We introduced a feature flag
elasticsearch.feature_use_connectors_apito enable using Elasticsearch Connector APIs (beta) to manage connectors via system indices instead of direct dot-prefixed index access. In the future, this flag will be enabled by default. (See PR #2561)
Enhancements
edit-
API keys generated in Kibana for connectors will now have the new
manage_connectorandmonitor_connectorprivileges. -
We added a new optional field in advanced sync rules for the PostgreSQL connector named
id_columns. Use this field to ingest tables which do not have a primary key. Include the names of unique fields so that the connector can use them to generate unique IDs for documents.(See PR #2681) -
We added a new
Custom_Fieldsfield in the Jira connector to display custom fields separately. (See PR #2505) - We added the ability to sync labels from pages in the Confluence connector. (See PR #2549)
Bug fixes
edit- Fixed a bug where the connector framework might receive an interrupt, but not terminate all running sync job tasks correctly. (See PR #2661)
- We removed unnecessary logging from the S3 connector. (See PR #2656)
- Fixed a bug where sync jobs could be permanently stuck in "pending" (until manually canceled) because of an unfortunately timed Elasticsearch exception. Now such exceptions will cause jobs to fail and provide actionable error messaging. (See PR #2606)
- Fixed connector scheduling not working for "Every Week" and "Every Year" statements. (See PR #2594)
- Fixed a bug where the incremental sync scheduling dropdown didn’t include the "Every Minute" option. (See PR #189250)
- Fixed a bug where the Confluence connector would fail to sync complete documents when using advanced sync rules. (See PR #2602)
