Logstash 8.18.0 Release Notes

Performance improvements and notable issues fixed

  • Fixes an issue introduced in 8.16.4, 8.17.2 where null values were incorrectly accepted for non-nullable settings #17522.
  • Avoid possible integer overflow in string tokenization #17353.
  • Fixed an issue to execute pqcheck and pqrepair on Windows OS. Previously #16205 solved the problem with space character in the installation path but introduced another issue now solved by #17120
  • Fixed an issue where the /_node/stats API displayed empty pipeline metrics when X-Pack monitoring was enabled #17185.
  • Persistence queue moved deserialization of read events outside a critical section, this could give a boost up to 5 times to events per second read speed #17050.
  • Starting from es-output 12.0.2, a 404 response is treated as an error. Previously, central pipeline management considered 404 as an empty pipeline, not an error #17052.
  • Exposes the qualifier, like GA or RC, in cli and in the http api #16904.
  • Set Jackson stream read constraints defaults in code to avoid missed jvm.options updates during installation upgrade #16854.
