Kibana 8.13.0

edit

For information about the Kibana 8.13.0 release, review the following information.

Known issues

edit
In Canvas, an empty text element incorrectly triggers a toast notification

Details
In Canvas, an empty text element incorrectly triggers a "Markdown content is required in [readOnly] mode" toast notification. For more information, refer to (#179457).

Index templates UI incorrectly sets the allow_auto_create field to false by default.

Details
If you are creating or editing an index template using the Index Templates form under the Index Management page, the allow_auto_create field is incorrectly set to false by default (the default value should be undefined). For more information, refer to (#177938).

Breaking changes

edit

Breaking changes can prevent your application from optimal operation and performance. Before you upgrade to 8.13.0, review the breaking changes, then mitigate the impact to your application.

Removes conditional topics for Kafka outputs

Details
The Kafka output no longer supports conditional topics. For more information, refer to (#176879).

Most Fleet installed integrations are now read-only and labelled with a Managed tag in the Kibana UI

Details

Integration content installed by Fleet is no longer editable. This content is tagged with Managed in the Kibana UI, and is Elastic managed. This content cannot be edited or deleted, however managed visualizations, dashboards, and saved searches can be cloned. The clones can be customized.

When cloning a dashboard the cloned panels become entirely independent copies that are unlinked from the original configurations and dependencies.

Managed content relating to specific visualization editors such as Lens, TSVB, and Maps, the clones retain the original reference configurations. The same applies to editing any saved searches in a managed visualization.

For more information, refer to (#172393).

Removes is_nan, is_finite, and is_infinite functions from ES|QL

Details
These functions have been removed from ES|QL queries as they are not supported. Errors would be thrown when trying to use them. For more information, refer to (#174674).
