Features

edit

The securitySolution:defaultThreatIndex advanced setting defines threat intelligence indices that Elastic Security will use when collecting threat indicators. The setting controls features that query threat indices, such as the Threat Intelligence view on the Overview page and the default indicator index values for indicator match rules. One or more threat intelligence indices can be defined; the filebeat-* index is specified by default. See Update default Elastic Security threat intelligence indices for more information (#108389).

Known issues

edit

The Elastic Agent must be upgraded to the newest version to use the Osquery Manager integration in 7.14.0. Upgrade instructions are available at Upgrade Elastic Agent (#26545).
Customized event rendering settings do not persist on the Alerts page (#106819).
Fields that have been added to the Alerts table don’t display in the table, but do in the alert details (#106840).
After upgrading from 7.8 to 7.14, rules sometimes fail to execute, activate, or deactivate. To resolve this, use the PATCH rule API to update each rule that encounters this problem. The payload of the PATCH call should set the author field to [], as shown in the example below. After the author field is populated, the rule works as expected (#106233).
```
PATCH <kibana host>:<port>/api/detection_engine/rules
{
  "id": <id-value-of-rule>,
  "author": []
}
```
