ElastiFlow v4.0.0-beta1
v4.0.0 is a major release. A data migration will be required if you want to have your older data available in 4.0.0. This BETA
release does not yet include a migration method and is intended for testing with new flow data only.
Breaking Changes
ElastiFlow v4.0.0 is built for Elasticsearch and Kibana 7.5.0 and later. No earlier versions will be supported. Please use a prior ElastiFlow release if you cannot yet upgrade to Elastic Stack 7.5.x.
ElasiFlow v4.0.0 takes advantage of X-Pack Basic features, such as the Maps, SIEM and Logs apps, as well as Index Lifecycle Management (ILM). This means that you must use at least the X-Pack Basic licensed release of the Elastic Stack. The pure Apache 2.0 licensed release of the Elastic Stack will not work without disabling many features.
New Features
- Data model has changed to leverage ECS 1.4.
- Flow data can now be analyzed using the Kibana SIEM and Log apps.
- Optional resolution of MAC OUIs to vendor names (disabled by default).
- Kibana dark theme is now supported.
- Geo IP dashboards now leveage the new Kibana Maps app.
- Applications can now be defined manually by IP address and port number.
- Palo Alto virtual interface indexes are translated to interfaces names.
Updates
- Pipeline refactored to simplify various logic, which might improve performance and throughput for some users.
- YAML dictionaries intended for customization by users have been moved to the
logstash/elastiflow/user_settings
path.
