  • Compatibility with Elasticsearch 2.4.2.

2.4.0

edit

August 31, 2016

Enhancements

  • Node transport addresses are now consistently reported using only their IP address and port, rather than a subset reporting their resolved hostname, IP address, and port.

2.3.5

edit

August 3, 2016

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed sorting by number of unassigned shards in the indices table.
  • Fixed the shard allocation tables to render when shards are relocating.

2.3.4

edit

July 7, 2016

Breaking ChangesMonitoring 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite from Monitoring 1.3. If you are upgrading from Monitoring 1.3, note that the Monitoring agent plugin only needs to be installed on the Elasticsearch nodes you are monitoring. If you need to stop collecting data from a node, remove the plugin or set the xpack.monitoring.enabled configuration parameter to false. (The xpack.monitoring.agent.enabled parameter is no longer supported.)

New Features

  • Fully-integrated with Kibana 4.2 as a Kibana plugin.
  • Supports Multiple clusters for Paid Subscriptions
  • Reduced data footprint for Monitoring indices
  • Simplified dashboards for Indices and Nodes
  • Better support for large clusters
