Known issuesedit

Heartbeat

If you are using either the Elastic Synthetics Integration package (beta) or private locations in the Uptime app’s Monitor Management (beta) in an airgapped environment, observer.geo.name may not be indexed with your Heartbeat documents, resulting in location data missing from the Uptime app.

This issue does not impact clusters with external network access. This issue will be fixed in the next release.

Suggested resolution: Manually add custom ingest pipelines to the synthetics-* data streams.

The instructions provided below assume manage_pipeline cluster privilege.
