  • Updated third-party dependencies and base images to address security vulnerabilities.

  • The Upgrade API now uses the Kibana upgrade assistant to validate that all issues have been resolved before the upgrade.

  • Updated the bundled Elastic Stack to 8.19.16 and 9.3.5.

    The ECE system clusters are also updated to 8.19.16.

  • Fixed Kibana audit log collection for instances that run multiple processes.

    Kibana instances larger than 8 GiB start multiple processes internally; the audit logs for all of these processes are now collected correctly. This fix requires both upgrading to ECE 4.1.1 and adding the latest Elastic Stack pack from the Manage Elastic Stack versions page.

    The default ILM configurations in the logging-and-metrics cluster can now be overridden using custom component templates.

  • Added the --skip-steps flag to the ECE upgrader to bypass specific upgrade steps by name.
  • Improved reliability of ECE upgrades by adding configurable retry settings for Docker operations.
  • During upgrades, made the stop docker container operation timeout respect the --timeout-factor parameter.
  • Fixed timeout issues when searching for allocators in the admin console cluster.
