Enhancements and bug fixes - Late October 2024

The following changes are included in this release.

AutoOps for Elasticsearch is now available. AutoOps significantly simplifies cluster management with performance recommendations, resource utilization and cost insights, real-time issue detection, and resolution paths. By analyzing hundreds of Elasticsearch metrics, your configuration, and usage patterns, AutoOps offers operational and monitoring insights that can substantially reduce administration time and hardware costs. AutoOps is rolling out in phases in Elastic Cloud Hosted and CSP, with no installation required. For more information, check Monitor with AutoOps.

Firehose support for multiple date types. The firehose receiver now supports handling both metrics and logs through a single stream. The earlier receiver failed to handle multiple record types and required dedicated firehose streams per data type.

Add auto value for CSV scroll duration. Adds support for the value of auto for the xpack.reporting.csv.scroll.duration setting used in Kibana.

Bump beats to 8.15.3. Upgrade metricbeat and filebeat for allocator-metricbeat and beats-runner to 8.15.3.

Fetch CPU metrics from metrics cluster. Refactor CPU metrics on the performance page to remove their dependency on legacy Python 2 code.

Support multi realms. The GET /users/auth/saml/_init API has a new optional realm query parameter. The realm parameter specifies the SAML realm in Elasticsearch for authentication.

Fix bugs in /saas/billing/prices API where parameters are not honored in DTS prices. Fixes an Elastic Cloud Pricing Table issue where filters may not apply to Data Transfer and Storage (DTS) prices properly.

Replace secrets permission with autoops get permission. Removes the strong "deployment:secrets" permissions and replaces it with a permission that has a smaller scope: "autoops-deployment:get"
