Fleet and Elastic Agent 8.12.2

edit

Review important information about Fleet Server and Elastic Agent for the 8.12.2 release.

Known issues

edit
Beats MSI binaries do not support directories with a trailing slash

Details

Due to changes introduced to support customizing an MSI install folder (see #209), Beats MSI binaries, which currently are in beta, will not properly handle directories that end in a slash. This defect may affect many deployments using the Beats MSI binaries.

Impact

This issue has been resolved in version 8.14.0 and later releases. We recommend users of Beats MSI to upgrade to 8.14 when that release becomes available.
