We use Elasticsearch with Kibana to aggregate logs from Kubernetes and our customers’ applications. Today this stack got upgraded to 6.3
, bringing several improvements and bug fixes.
Elasticsearch
On the Elasticsearch side this mainly fixes a bug we’ve encountered where nodes could get stuck in a flushing loop.
Kibana
This update brings also a couple of Kibana improvements:
- Experimental autocomplete in the query bar: Click
Options
on the right of the query bar to enable - Kibana now keeps track of your recently viewed items so that you can easily get back to them
- There is now an Index Management UI: This allows for configuring index settings and mappings from the dashboard, which comes in handy when aggregating logs from multiple sources.
And much more!
