Logstash 7.6.0 Release Notes

edit
  • Feature: Introduce deprecation logger for internal classes and plugins. #11260 and #11486

    • The Deprecation logger is a unified way for Logstash components to log deprecation notices into a separate file, located by default at log/logstash-deprecation.log. This file gives users a single location to see if they are using features that may stop working after a major upgrade.
  • Feature: Add support for cloud-id/auth for Logstash monitoring/management #11496
  • Feature: Initial release of the Jdbc Integration Plugin, which combines previously-separate Jdbc plugins and shared dependencies into a single codebase
  • Fixed: Regression where compilation of multiple pipelines experiences slowdown #11560

    • The fix for the Java execution pipeline compilation slowdown relative to the number of workers in #11482 introduced a regression which caused a slowdown of pipeline compilation when using multiple pipelines. This fix solves that regression and the original issue when using multiple workers.
  • Updated puma to 4.x #11241
  • Updated jruby to 9.2.9.0 #11281
  • Fixed: Correct directory for versions.yml file when building plugins #11318 This fixes an issue where a versions.yml was unnecessarily required when trying to build native Java plugins
  • Updated sinatra and rack to 2.x #11354
  • Changed: base JRUBY_OPTS to default to --dev (for fast scripts) #11355
  • Fixed: Removed use of deprecated Thread.exclusive method, which caused a warning message every time logstash started. #11388
  • Add Enterprise license level subscription #11407
  • [DOC] Remove module-only disclaimer for cloud id #11469
  • [DOC] Add details about pipeline.workers #11474
  • [DOC] Add deprecation notice to internal collectors for monitoring #11526
  • Build: Fail license report job on missing licenses #11554
  • Fixed: Updated log4j2.properties file that the Docker container image uses to also log the pipeline.id. #11567
