Review the following information about the Kibana 8.8.2 release.

Known issues

edit

Kibana can run out of memory during an upgrade when there are many Fleet agent policies.

Details
Due to a schema version update, during Fleet setup in 8.8.x, all agent policies are being queried and deployed. This action triggers a lot of queries to the Elastic Package Registry (EPR) to fetch integration packages. As a result, there is an increase in Kibana’s resident memory usage (RSS).

Impact
Because the default batch size of 100 for schema version upgrade of Fleet agent policies is too high, this can cause Kibana to run out of memory during an upgrade. For example, we have observed 1GB Kibana instances run out of memory during an upgrade when there were 20 agent policies with 5 integrations in each.

Workaround
Two workaround options are available:

Increase the Kibana instance size to 2GB. So far, we are not able to reproduce the issue with 2GB instances.
Set xpack.fleet.setup.agentPolicySchemaUpgradeBatchSize to 2 in the kibana.yml and restart the Kibana instance(s).

In 8.9.0, we are addressing this by changing the default batch size to 2.
