Enhancements

edit
Discover
  • [Fixes #15642] Introduce simple kibana query language #15646
Machine Learning
  • Enhanced the creation of custom URLs for existing jobs. When you edit jobs, there is a new Custom URLs tab, which provides options for creating a link to a Kibana dashboard or a different URL.
Management
  • Renamed the Save button Save & Deploy. This change makes it clearer that when you click the button the pipeline is saved to an Elasticsearch index and deployed to any Logstash instances that are configured to run it.
  • Added the ability to clone pipelines in Kibana. When you click the Clone button, data from the original pipeline is used to pre-populate the new pipeline form.
  • Enabled auto-sizing of the pipeline configuration text area. The text area automatically grows or shrinks as you type out a pipeline definition.
  • [Fixes #9228, #8983] add support for number format internationalization #14019
  • [Fixes #15922] [Management] Index pattern step in React! #15936
  • Advanced Settings - Image Input #15342
Monitoring
  • Added resolved alerts to the list of alerts that are visible during a selected time frame in Kibana.
  • Added the interval size for aggregated metrics in the tooltip for each chart.
  • Improved error handling such that generic 500 errors provide better messages.
  • Redesigned the Logstash Pipelines view to provide more actionable information in a tabular format.
  • Added a basic detail drawer to the Logstash Pipeline Viewer. When you click on any vertex in the Pipeline Viewer, the drawer slides open. It shows basic information about the vertex that was clicked and any metrics, if available.
Operations
  • Use auto_expand_replicas to stay green on 1 node clusters #15694
  • Feat: Add config provider to disable state management #15275

  • [optimizer] More aggressive chunking of common/vendor code #15907

    • Improved the build optimize time by more aggressively chunking common code, resulting in the removal of duplicate code. This drastically cuts the build and plugin install time and overall bundle asset size.

  • [optimizer] run webpack compilation ASAP (no more laziness) #15795
Platform

  • Make it possible to disable CSRF check for the specified list of paths. #13904
Reporting
  • By default, weekly .reporting indices created after upgrading to 6.2 use a single primary shard and have the auto_expand_replicas: 0-1 setting rather than a fixed setting of 1 replica. As a result, these indices can have a green status on single node clusters. There is no impact in multi-node clusters.
