Brewing in Beats: Add openSUSE support
Welcome to Brewing in Beats! With this weekly series, we're keeping you up to date with what's new in Beats, including the latest commits and releases.
Official support for openSUSE 42
We have added an openSUSE 42 VM to our packaging tests in beats-tester, so we can officially support it starting with version 6.0. Note that this doesn’t change our stance on SUSE or openSUSE 11, which is that we provide binaries but they are not officially supported. The main reason is that while openSUSE has switched to systemd, SUSE still uses init scripts, and the init script that we ship with the RPMs doesn’t work on SUSE out of the box.
Audibeat: Kibana 5.x version for the dashboards
Auditbeat now contains dashboards compatible with Kibana 5.x, so that it’s convenient to use with the previous version of the stack as well.
This change didn’t make it for 6.0.0-rc1, but we intend to include it in 6.0.0-rc2.
