Kibana 8.3.1

edit

Kibana 8.3.1

edit

Review the following information about the Kibana 8.3.1 release.

Known issues

edit
URL arguments cause API requests in Dev Tools to fail

Details
When you add any URL arguments, such as ?v or ?pretty, to API requests, the requests fail #133965

Impact
The known issue only impacts Kibana Dev Tools. All other sources of API requests are unaffected, such as curl and Elastic Cloud API console.

Alerting rules stop running when you upgrade to 8.3.0 or 8.3.1

Details
In 8.3.0 and 8.3.1, there is a known issue where alerting rules that were created or edited in 8.2.0 stop running when you upgrade Kibana. When you upgrade to 8.3.0 or 8.3.1, and your alerting rules have stopped running, the following error appears:

<rule-type>:<UUID>: execution failed - security_exception: [security_exception] Reason: missing authentication credentials for REST request [/_security/user/_has_privileges], caused by: ""

Impact
If you have upgraded to 8.3.0 or 8.3.1, and your alerting rules fail, reset the rules by disabling, then re-enabling them. When you disable, then re-enable your alerting rules, Kibana generates a new API key using the credentials of the user that manages the rules.

To disable, then re-enable your alerting rules:

  1. Open the main menu, then click Stack Management > Rules and Connectors.
  2. Select the failed alerting rules.
  3. Click Manage rules > Disable, then click Manage rules > Enable.

For more details about API key authorization, refer to Authorization.
