edit7.15
edit7.15.2
editBug fixes and enhancements
edit- Moves the Analyze event option from the overflow menu to the Actions column within the Alerts and Events tables. It now only displays events that can be opened in the visual event analyzer (#115478).
- Fixes a table height issue that occurs when the Alerts table only has a few alerts (#114718).
- Fixes a rule execution bug that intermittently caused large status documents to be generated and indexed, which contributed to Kibana upgrades failing (#112257).
-
Updates status queries to use the new
kibana.alert.workflow_status
field, and removesreplaceAll
references that caused older browser versions to crash if they didn’t support it (#114481).
7.15.1
editBug fixes and enhancements
edit- Supports newlines in the Jira summary field. Newlines are replaced with commas (#113571).
- Fixes a bug that prevented the Endpoints table from resetting after the KQL query was removed (#112595).
- Fixes a bug that caused threshold and indicator match rules to ignore custom rule filters if a saved query was used in the rule definition (#109253).
- Fixes a bug on the Alerts page that prevented the Trend histogram and Count table from being updated after an alert’s status was changed. With this fix, refreshing the Alerts page is no longer necessary to view the updates (#111042).
7.15.0
editKnown issues
edit- Case comments containing GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) will cause migrations to fail when upgrading to Elastic Stack version 7.15.0 or later. To prevent this, remove GFM from the case comment before upgrading (#119509).
Breaking changes
edit- After upgrading to Elastic Stack version 7.15.x from release versions 7.12.0 through 7.14.2, you need to migrate detection alerts enriched with threat intelligence data to ensure threat intelligence properly displays in Elastic Security. For more information, refer to instructions for migrating detection alerts enriched with threat intelligence data (#1102).
- Removes the metadata query strategy v1 (#104196).
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; thefilebeat-*
index is specified by default. See Update default Elastic Security threat intelligence indices for more information (#108389). -
Adds new functionality and usability improvements to the Alerts page:
- Introduces the Grid view and Event renderer view, which allows users to view data in a tabular format or rendered as an event flow (#108644).
- Adds a Reason field to Alerts details flyout to describe the event that caused the alert (#108449, #107532).
- Adds a row renderer popover to the Reason field (#108054).
- Renames the In-progress detection alert status to Acknowledged (#107972).
- Refactors the status filter (#107249).
- Removes the drag and drop functionality (#107162, #106721).
- Changes the JSON View tab name to JSON (#106524).
- Adds actions to fields within the Alert details flyout (#106362).
- Adds the Count table (#106358).
- Updates the design of the Table tab in the Alert details flyout (#105996).
- Adds the ability to attach a Lens visualization to a case (#96703, #109178).
- Adds a date time picker to the Threat Intel tab that allows users to query the alert for indicator matches from a specific time range (#107234).
- Adds memory threat protection as an option for configuring integration policies. This option detects and stops in-memory threats on Windows systems, such as shellcode injection, which are used to evade traditional file-based detection techniques. Users can also make exceptions for memory protection alerts (#102196, #101365).
- Adds malicious behavior protection as an option for configuring integration policies. This option detects and stops threats by monitoring the behavior of system processes for suspicious activity. Behavioral signals are much more difficult for adversaries to evade than traditional file-based detection techniques. Users can also create exceptions for behavior protection alerts (#106853, #106247).
