Known issues

edit
Fleet configures additional properties in some nested objects in index templates of integrations.

Details

A bugfix intended to be released in 8.16.0 was also included in 8.15.1. It fixes an actual issue where some mappings were not being generated, but this also includes additional mappings when installing some integrations in 8.15.1 that were not included when using 8.15.0.

Impact

Users may notice that some index templates include additional mappings for the same package versions.
