Enhancements

Machine Learning
Security
  • Added the keystore.seed setting to create a randomly generated bootstrap password if an actual password is not present.
  • The bootstrap.password secure setting is now managed locally on each node and no longer updates the security index.
  • The xpack.security.authc.token.passphrase setting is no longer mandatory when using the token service. The cluster automatically generates a secure key on startup. See Security Settings in Elasticsearch.
  • Added reserved kibana_dashboard_only_user role. For more information, see Kibana Dashboard Only Mode.

Bug Fixes

  • The setup-password tool no longer fails when using a default elasticsearch.yml configuration file.

  • Ensured that a watch can be activated and deactivated during execution.
  • Ensured watch execution always uses the latest watch including its latest status.
