Beats version HEAD

Breaking changes

Affecting all Beats

  • The document id fields has been renamed from @metadata.id to @metadata._id 15859

  • Variable substitution from environment variables is not longer supported. https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/15937{15937}

  • Remove AddDockerMetadata and AddKubernetesMetadata processors from the script processor. They can still be used as normal processors in the configuration. 16349 16514

  • Introduce APM libbeat instrumentation, active when running the beat with ELASTIC_APM_ACTIVE=true. 17938

  • Remove the non-ECS agent.hostname field. Use the agent.name or agent.id fields for an identifier. 16377 18328

  • Make error message about locked data path actionable. 18667

  • Ensure dynamic template names are unique for the same field. 18849

Auditbeat

  • File integrity dataset (macOS): Replace unnecessary file.origin.raw (type keyword) with file.origin.text (type text). 12423 15630

Filebeat

  • Improve ECS field mappings in panw module. event.outcome now only contains success/failure per ECS specification. 16025 17910

  • With the default configuration the cloud modules (aws, azure, googlecloud, o365, okta) will no longer send the host field that contains information about the host Filebeat is running on. This is because the host field specifies the host on which the event happened. 13920 18223

  • With the default configuration the following modules will no longer send the host field that contains information about the host on which Filebeat is running. You can revert this change by configuring tags for the module and omitting forwarded from the list. 13920
