This release brings significant improvements to help users manage their dead letter queues, including:
-
A new
clean_consumedoption on the Dead Letter Queue input plugin. It can automatically delete segments from a dead letter queue after all events in the segment have been consumed by a Logstash pipeline. - A new age retention policy, enabling the automatic removal of segments from a dead letter queue based on the age of events within those segments.
- Additional dead letter queue metrics available from the monitoring API #14324
Several AWS plugins are now bundled in a single AWS integration plugin, enabling easier maintenance and upgrades of AWS-based plugins. They all use version 3 of the AWS Ruby SDK.
Logstash now comes bundled with JDK17, while still providing compatibility with user-supplied JDK11. The new JDK includes an update pertaining to a potential security vulnerability. Please see our security statement for details.
