Release Notesedit

7.11.2edit

Bug fixes and enhancementsedit

Updates warning message when no indices match provided index patterns (#93094).
Fixes rule edit bug with max_signals (#92748).
Fixes issue where the file name in a value modal list would be truncated (#91952).
Adds an overflow text wrap for rule descriptions (#91945).
Fixes issue in detection search where searching with the timestamp override field would yield a 400 error(#91597).
Replaces partial failure with warning for rule statuses (#91167).
Fixes "Error loading data" displaying under Analyze Event (#91718).

Known issuesedit

When upgrading from 7.11.0 or 7.11.1 to 7.11.2, certain connectors, including those that connect to Jira, ServiceNow, and IBM Resilient, are not properly migrated during the upgrade process, causing them to be deleted.

Impacts include:

Security detection rules that have been configured to use the affected connectors as part of their rule actions will no longer create these actions.
Kibana Alerting and Action alerts that have been configured to use the affected connectors will no longer create these actions.
Security Case workflow users will need to recreate external connectors before cases can be pushed or updated via the affected connectors.
Open cases that were previously connected to third-party systems via the affected connectors will need to be re-connected after the connector(s) are recreated.

It is recommended to consider delaying the upgrade to 7.11.2, and instead upgrade to 7.12.0 once it is released.

7.11.0edit

Breaking changesedit

Referential integrity issues when deleting value lists

The /api/lists DELETE API has been updated to check for references before removing the specified resource(s) from value lists and will now return a 409 conflict if any references exist. Set the new ignoreReferences query param to true to maintain the behavior of deleting value list(s) without performing any additional checks.

Bug fixes and enhancementsedit

Corrects look-back time logic now displays whatever unit the user selects (#81383).
Fixes a bug where mapping browser fields were automatically reduced (#81675).
Allows both status data for enabled and disabled rules are now fetchable (#81783).
Allows autorefresh to be toggled in Advanced Settings (#82062).
Makes severity and risk score overrides more flexible (#83723).
Improves DE query build times for large lists (#85051).
Adds skeleton exceptions list tab to all rules page (#85465).
Fixes export on exceptions functionality list view (#86135).
Fixes exception list table referential deletion (#87231).
Disables delete button for endpoint exceptions (#87694).

Known issuesedit

The Elastic Endpoint Security rule will report a failure status until the Endpoint sends an alert for the first time. At that point, the next rule execution will succeed. logs-endpoint.alerts-* index pattern does not get created until the Endpoint sends the first alert (#90401).
In the Alert Details Summary view, values for some fields appear truncated. You’ll only be able to see the first character (#90539).

7.10.1edit

Bug fixes and enhancementsedit

Fixes EQL previews which now accept all date formats (#83939).
Fixes incorrect time for DNS histograms (#83781).
Fixes UI strings around indicator matching and mapping definitions (#82510).
Fixes layout in "Severity override" drop-down when creating a new rule (#82271).

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.

Bug fixes and enhancementsedit

Adds Metadata and Discovery Analysis Jobs to Security Integration (#76023).
Improves Alert Telemetry for the Security app (#77200).

Known issuesedit

If you edit a rule while that rule is running, the rule fails. Subsequent successful runs will retain the previous failure message (#82320).
When adding a rule exception, you cannot select value lists of type ip_range. Lists of type ip_range will not appear in the Add Exception dropdown as possible values after selecting the is in list operator. (#79511).

7.9.1edit

Post upgrade requirementsedit

After upgrading the Elastic Stack to version 7.9.0 and 7.9.1 from a previous minor release (7.8.x, 7.7.x, and so on), you need to:

Enable access to the Detections page. Previously activated detection rules continue to run after upgrading, and this is only required to enable the UI.
Enable the process analyzer. This is only required if you want to view graphical representations of process relationships.

Bug fixes and enhancementsedit

Fixes selecting all alerts issue (#75945).

The casesConfiguration object is obsolete. Instead, use incidentConfiguration.
To see ServiceNow connectors in the UI, you must use the isCaseOwned field.
