Release Notesedit

7.10.1edit

Bug fixes and enhancementsedit

  • Fixes EQL previews which now accept all date formats (#83939).
  • Fixes incorrect time for DNS histograms (#83781).

7.10.0edit

Post upgrade requirementsedit

When upgrading the Elastic Stack to version 7.10.0 from a previous minor version (7.9.x), perform the following:

  • Grant view_index_metadata permissions to any Elastic Security users. This is required to enable event correlation rules. Other previously activated detection rules will continue to run after upgrade.

Breaking changesedit

Signals template updated for rollover indices

The create_index_route now checks if the template needs to be upgraded before creating the index. If the index already exists and the template was upgraded, the index rolls over so that the write index has the upgraded mapping. This breaks the old mappings that have risk_score mapped as a keyword. In the new mapping, signal.rule.risk_score is a float. After rolling over, there is a conflict between the old and new signal.rule.risk_score for some features, such as aggregations.

This requires the view_index_metadata permission in Kibana. See (#80019) for details.

Connect incident fields allowed when cases are sent

You can now specify connector incident fields when cases are sent. This includes: * Jira: issue type, priority, and parent issue in the case of a subtask. * IBM Resilient: issue types, and severity. * ServiceNow: urgency, severity, and impact.

See (#77327) for details.
