Known Issues
edit- Pagination does not work in the All Cases table. To circumvent this, increase the total number of rows that are displayed per page by selecting an option from the Rows per page menu.

Finally, if you know which case you want to view, enter descriptive text about it into the search bar at the top of the table (#94929).
- A warning displays for Endgame rules indicating that the timestamp override field is missing. This warning can be ignored as the rule still functions correctly (#91597).

7.11.0
editBreaking changes
editReferential integrity issues when deleting value lists
The /api/lists
DELETE
API has been updated to check for references before removing the specified resource(s) from value lists and will now return a 409 conflict if any references exist. Set the new ignoreReferences
query param to true
to maintain the behavior of deleting value list(s) without performing any additional checks.
Bug fixes and enhancements
edit- Corrects look-back time logic now displays whatever unit the user selects (#81383).
- Fixes a bug where mapping browser fields were automatically reduced (#81675).
- Allows both status data for enabled and disabled rules are now fetchable (#81783).
- Allows autorefresh to be toggled in Advanced Settings (#82062).
- Makes severity and risk score overrides more flexible (#83723).
- Improves DE query build times for large lists (#85051).
- Adds skeleton exceptions list tab to all rules page (#85465).
- Fixes export on exceptions functionality list view (#86135).
- Fixes exception list table referential deletion (#87231).
- Disables delete button for endpoint exceptions (#87694).
Known issues
edit-
The Elastic Endpoint Security rule will report a failure status until the Endpoint sends an alert for the first time. At that point, the next rule execution will succeed.
logs-endpoint.alerts-*
index pattern does not get created until the Endpoint sends the first alert (#90401). - In the Alert Details Summary view, values for some fields appear truncated. You’ll only be able to see the first character (#90539).
7.10.1
editBug fixes and enhancements
edit7.10.0
editPost upgrade requirements
editWhen upgrading the Elastic Stack to version 7.10.0 from a previous minor version (7.9.x), perform the following:
-
Grant
view_index_metadata
permissions to any Elastic Security users. This is required to enable event correlation rules. Other previously activated detection rules will continue to run after upgrade.
Breaking changes
editSignals template updated for rollover indices
The create_index_route
now checks if the template needs to be upgraded
before creating the index. If the index already exists and the template was upgraded,
the index rolls over so that the write index has the upgraded mapping.
This breaks the old mappings that have risk_score mapped
as a keyword.
In the new mapping, signal.rule.risk_score
is a float. After rolling over,
there is a conflict between the old and new signal.rule.risk_score
for some
features, such as aggregations.
This requires the view_index_metadata
permission in Kibana. See (#80019) for details.
Connect incident fields allowed when cases are sent
You can now specify connector incident fields when cases are sent. This includes: * Jira: issue type, priority, and parent issue in the case of a subtask. * IBM Resilient: issue types, and severity. * ServiceNow: urgency, severity, and impact.
See (#77327) for details.
Bug fixes and enhancements
edit- Adds Metadata and Discovery Analysis Jobs to Security Integration (#76023).
- Improves Alert Telemetry for the Security app (#77200).
- Allows passwords to be visible on security screens (#77394).
- Groups features for role management (#78152).
- Warns users when security is not configured (#78545).
- Enhancements for saved object management workflows (#75444).
- Adds EQL search strategy for security (#78645).
- Fetches related events from specified devices (#78780).
- Excludes cloud alias index from EQL query (#81551).
- Telemetry: Displays collected security event sample (#78963).
- Analyze Events: Requests data from new event API (#78782).
- Detections: Handle conflicts on alert status update (#75492).
Known issues
edit-
If you edit a rule while that rule is running, the rule fails. Subsequent successful runs will retain the previous failure message (#82320).
-
When adding a rule exception, you cannot select value lists of type
ip_range
. Lists of typeip_range
will not appear in the Add Exception dropdown as possible values after selecting the is in list operator. (#79511).
7.9.1
editPost upgrade requirements
editAfter upgrading the Elastic Stack to version 7.9.0 and 7.9.1 from a previous minor release (7.8.x, 7.7.x, and so on), you need to:
- Enable access to the Detections page. Previously activated detection rules continue to run after upgrading, and this is only required to enable the UI.
- Enable the process analyzer. This is only required if you want to view graphical representations of process relationships.
Bug fixes and enhancements
edit- Fixes closing alerts via exceptions (#76145).
- Fixes selecting all alerts issue (#75945).
- Fixes issues when exceptions are no longer associated with a rule (#76012).
- Prevents adding exceptions to unsupported rule types (#75802).

7.9.0
editBreaking changes
editActions API
When you create a ServiceNow connector via the Actions API:
-
The
casesConfiguration
object is obsolete. Instead, useincidentConfiguration
. -
To see ServiceNow connectors in the UI, you must use the
isCaseOwned
field.
These changes only apply to ServiceNow connectors.
Known issues
edit-
After changing the
xpack.encryptedSavedObjects.encryptionKey
setting value and restarting Kibana, you must restart all detection rules (#74393). - When selecting all alerts on the Detections page, some alerts are not marked as selected in the UI (#75194).
- When creating rules, if you have more than one Timeline template the template drop-down list is truncated (#75196).
- Exceptions cannot be added to or viewed in imported rules when the exception list has been deleted or does not exist in the Kibana space (#75182).
