Details
A bugfix merged for 8.15.1 can cause repeated Get \"https://${ELASTICSEARCH_HOST}:443\": context canceled
errors
after a transient network error (for example DNS failure) that prevent Elastic Agent integrations based on Beats from publishing data.
Elastic Agent must be restarted for publishing to continue.
See Beats issue #40705 for details.
Impact
Avoid upgrading to 8.15.1.
Fleet configures additional properties in some nested objects in index templates of integrations.
Details
A bugfix intended to be released in 8.16.0 was also included in 8.15.1. It fixes an actual issue where some mappings were not being generated, but this also includes additional mappings when installing some integrations in 8.15.1 that were not included when using 8.15.0.
Impact
Users may notice that some index templates include additional mappings for the same package versions.
