Kibana 8.19.19

edit

The 8.19.19 release includes the following enhancements and fixes.

Enhancements

edit
Elastic Observability solution
  • Ensures APM integration policy updates retain API keys when clients omit them (#274647).
  • Speeds up loading Synthetics journey screenshots and step details (#273513).
  • Honors the observability:searchExcludedDataTiers advanced setting in Synthetics searches so operators can exclude slow data tiers such as data_frozen (#273418).
Elasticsearch solution
  • Adds a MongoDB connector datetime_conversion setting so syncs can clamp, convert, or error on dates outside the supported range instead of always aborting (#277685).

Fixes

edit
Alerting
  • Defaults a missing reporting job version parameter to the current Kibana version instead of showing a hardcoded 7.14.0 value (#275469).
Dashboards and Visualizations
  • Limits the Canvas createTable expression rowCount to a maximum of 10000, matching the default Elasticsearch index.max_result_window (#276502).
Data ingestion and Fleet
  • Fixes resetting preconfigured agent policies aborting with a 404 on deployments where space awareness is disabled (#276742).
Developer tools
  • Fixes Console autocomplete so nested object fields and multi-fields in index mapping bodies suggest mapping options again (#278508).
  • Fixes Console requests that combine comments with triple-quote strings failing with x_content_e_o_f_exception (#277259).
  • Fixes a Windows-specific code editor issue that could corrupt multi-line edited text after refresh (#277007).
  • Fixes the Console Copy button silently failing to copy response output (#276365).
  • Fixes Console autocomplete matching an incorrect API endpoint when a URL matches both a literal path and a parameterized path (#276239).
  • Improves Console ES|QL source autocomplete by reusing a fresh source list instead of refetching it on every keystroke (#275535).
Elastic Observability solution
  • Fixes Synthetics monitor updates ignoring retest_on_failure: false, which left retests enabled on existing monitors (#277701).
Elastic Security solution
For the Elastic Security 8.19.19 release information, refer to Elastic Security release notes.
Kibana platform
  • Fixes kibana-frontend page-load transaction names to use low-cardinality /app/{appId} labels instead of raw URLs (#275650).
Machine Learning
  • Prevents removing all spaces from a machine learning job or trained model through the spaces update APIs (#276490).
  • Restricts the clear audit messages API so users can only clear messages for jobs they can access, and only against valid notification indices (#276419).
  • Adds request size limits to the file upload and index_exists endpoints (#274566).
