edit

Coming in 8.17.0.

For information about the Kibana 8.17.0 release, review the following information.

The 8.17.0 release includes the following known issues.

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>
Upgrade Assistant displays configured source mode in mappings as critical deprecation issue.

Details
When upgrading to a newer version, the Upgrade Assistant displays critical warnings for the deprecation of configuring source mode in mappings. These warnings can safely be ignored.

For more information, refer to #206400.
