Kibana 8.11.0

edit

For information about the Kibana 8.11.0 release, review the following information.

Known issues

edit
Errors appear when loading Observability Infrastructure inventory views after upgrading to version 8.10.0 or higher.

Details
After upgrading to version 8.10.0 or higher, you may encounter errors when loading inventory views.

For more information, refer to #187254.

Workaround
You can mitigate the issue by completing the following steps:

  1. Search the .kibana_* index for type: inventory_view.
  2. Copy the _id field, which will be formatted as inventory-view:<id>. For example, inventory-view:3d3d06b0-f873-4373-8446-f6a8341cd8b1. Omit the inventory-view: portion and copy only the string of _id characters.
  3. The offending documents are those with fields inventory-view.legend.steps > 18. Delete these documents by running the following in Console: 
DELETE kbn:/api/infra/inventory-views/<id>
Gatekeeper error on macOS

Details
Due to a version upgrade of the server binary used by Kibana and an upstream notarization issue, a Gatekeeper error may display for "node" when starting Kibana in macOS environments.

Workaround
More information can be found at Download and install the Darwin package.
