Check out the new self-managed Elastic Open Web Crawler (technical preview), a lightweight, open code web crawler which doesn’t require running the Enterprise Search or Kibana services. The GitHub repo contains everything you need to get started. Read this launch blog for more context.

Enhancements

  • The following connectors are now generally available:

  • The Elastic data extraction service repository is now public. Use the service to extract data and metadata from binary documents.
  • The GitHub connector now supports Github App authentication.
  • The Sharepoint Server connector now supports incremental sync.

  • The Connector APIs are now in beta.

    Connector API tutorial

    We added a new tutorial to help you get started with the Connector APIs.

  • Improved error handling when batching operations to send to Elasticsearch.
  • Improved and increased the number of counters written to the logs after each sync, to facilitate debugging and troubleshooting.
  • Connector sync jobs now log more counters at their conclusion.
  • The connector service tries to apply Settings and Mapping if the index is created programmatically using Connectors APIs or Elasticsearch APIs.
  • The Connectors CLI command ./bin/connectors index list shows all all open indices.

Bug fixes

edit
  • Updated the queries in PostgreSQL connector to support primary key column name with uppercase letters. This caused UndefinedColumnError errors.
  • The GitHub connector now raises 403 errors as ForbiddenException. Previously, the connector skipped the 403 status code.

Known issues

edit

  • Enterprise Search: Enterprise Search nodes in Elastic Cloud may be erroneously removed from deployments. See connectors known issues.

    • Fixed in 8.14.3
  • Sharepoint Online connector: When a document is deleted in an incremental sync, the UI counter is not updated. The counter is only updated for full syncs. (Note this does not occur for other connectors.)
