Kibana 8.10.0

edit

Kibana 8.10.0 has been withdrawn.

For information about the Kibana 8.10.0 release, review the following information.

Security updates

edit

  • An issue was discovered by Elastic whereby sensitive information is recorded in Kibana logs in the event of an error. The issue impacts only Kibana version 8.10.0 when logging in the JSON layout or when the pattern layout is configured to log the %meta pattern.

    The issue is resolved in Kibana 8.10.1. Version 8.10.0 has been removed from our download sites.

    For more information, see our related security announcement.

Breaking changes

edit

Breaking changes can prevent your application from optimal operation and performance. Before you upgrade to 8.10.0, review the breaking changes, then mitigate the impact to your application.

New summary search capabilities cause existing SLOs to stop working

Details
New summary search capabilities introduce breaking changes in various places, and we have decided not to handle backward compatibility:

  • SLO find API body parameters have changed.
  • The index mapping used by the rollup data has changed, and we have added a summary index that becomes the new source of truth for search.
  • The rollup transforms have been updated, but existing SLO with their transforms won’t be updated.

If some SLOs have been installed in a prior version at 8.10, they won’t work after migrating to 8.10. There are two approaches to handle this breaking change. The recommended route is to delete all SLOs before migrating to 8.10. The alternative is to migrate to 8.10 and manually remove the SLOs.

Removing SLOs before migrating to 8.10

Use the SLO UI or the SLO delete API to delete all existing SLOs. This takes care of the Saved Object, Transform and rollup data. When all SLOs have been deleted, then delete the residual rollup indices: .slo-observability.sli-v1*. Note that this is v1.

Removing SLOs after migrating to 8.10

After migrating to 8.10, the previously created SLOs won’t appear in the UI because the API is using a new index. The previously created SLOs still exist, and associated transforms are still rolling up data into the previous index .slo-observability.sli-v1*. The SLO delete API can’t be used now, so remove the resources resources manually:

  1. Find all existing transforms All SLO related transforms start with the slo- prefix, this request returns them all:

    GET _transform/slo-*

    Make a note of all the transforms IDs for later.

  2. Stop all transforms

    POST _transform/slo-*/_stop?force=true

  3. Remove all transforms

    From the list of transforms returned during the first step, now delete them one by one:

    DELETE _transform/{transform_id}?force=true

  4. Find the SLO saved objects

    This request lists all the SLO saved objects. The SLO IDs and the saved object IDs are not the same.

    GET kbn:/api/saved_objects/_find?type=slo

    Make a note of all the saved object IDs from the response.

  5. Remove the SLO saved objects

    For each saved object ID, run the following:

    DELETE kbn:/api/saved_objects/slo/{Saved_Object_Id}

  6. Delete the rollup indices v1

    Note that this is v1.

    DELETE .slo-observability.sli-v1*
Get case metrics APIs now internal

Details
The get case metrics APIs are now internal. For more information, refer to (#162506).

Case limits

Details
Limits are now imposed on the number of objects cases can process or the amount of data those objects can store.

For the full list, refer to #146945.

addProcessorDefinition is removed

Details
The function addProcessorDefinition is removed from the Console plugin start contract (server side). For more information, refer to (#159041).

The Download CSV endpoint has changed.

Details
The API endpoint for downloading a CSV file from a saved search in the Dashboard application has changed to reflect the fact that this is an internal API. The previous API path of /api/reporting/v1/generate/immediate/csv_searchsource has been changed to /internal/reporting/generate/immediate/csv_searchsource. For more information, refer to #162288.

Deprecations

edit

The following functionality is deprecated in 8.10.0, and will be removed in 9.0.0. Deprecated functionality does not have an immediate impact on your application, but we strongly recommend you make the necessary updates after you upgrade to 8.10.0.

Action variables in the UI and in tests that were no longer used have been replaced

Details
The following rule action variables have been deprecated; use the recommended variables (in parentheses) instead:

  • alertActionGroup (alert.actionGroup)
  • alertActionGroupName (alert.actionGroupName)
  • alertActionSubgroup (alert.actionSubgroup)
  • alertId (rule.id)
  • alertInstanceId (alert.id)
  • alertName (rule.name)
  • params (rule.params)
  • spaceId (rule.spaceId)
  • tags (rule.tags)

For more information, refer to (#161136).
