Kibana 8.12.0
editKibana 8.12.0
editFor information about the Kibana 8.12.0 release, review the following information.
Known issues
editIndex 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
editBreaking changes can prevent your application from optimal operation and performance. Before you upgrade to 8.12.0, review the breaking changes, then mitigate the impact to your application.
New SLO architecture
Details
We introduce a breaking change in the SLO features that will break any SLOs created before 8.12. These SLOs have to be manually reset through an API until we provide a UI for it. The data aggregated over time (rollup) is still available in the sli v2 index, but won’t be used for summary calculation when reset.
The previous summary transforms summarizing every SLOs won’t be used anymore and can be stopped and deleted:
- slo-summary-occurrences-7d-rolling
- slo-summary-occurrences-30d-rolling
- slo-summary-occurrences-90d-rolling
- slo-summary-occurrences-monthly-aligned
- slo-summary-occurrences-weekly-aligned
- slo-summary-timeslices-7d-rolling
- slo-summary-timeslices-30d-rolling
- slo-summary-timeslices-90d-rolling
- slo-summary-timeslices-monthly-aligned
- slo-summary-timeslices-weekly-aligned
Be aware that when installing a new SLO (or after resetting an SLO), we install two transforms (one for the rollup data and one that summarize the rollup data). Do not delete the new slo-summary-{slo_id}-{slo_revision}
transforms. For more information, refer to (#172224).
A new sub-feature privilege to control user access to the cases settings
Details
Roles with at least a sub-feature privilege configured will not have access to the cases setting like they had previously. All roles without a sub-feature privilege configured will not be affected. For more information, refer to (#170635).
