Elasticsearch 7.10 made configuring the lifecycle of your data less complicated. In this blog post I’ll walk through some of the changes, how to use them, and some best practices along the way. Data lifecycle can encompass a lot of stages, so we’ll touch on:

More than 90% of our downloads are under the Elastic License, and those users enjoy the significant additional value pr
The first Black History Month is a history of steady progress. Originally conceived as Negro History Week and celebrated in the first week of February to align with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas, the current month-long celebration was proposed by educators and administrators at Kent State University in Ohio in 1969 at the tail end of America’s most revolutionary decade for racial justice. Since then, Black History Month has become a yearly reminder of the struggles, contr
Elasticsearch's date_histogram aggregation is the cornerstone of Kibana's Discover. And the Logs Monitoring UI. I use it all the time to investigate trends in build failures, but when it is slow I get cranky. Four seconds to graph all of the failures of some test over the past six months! I don't have time for that! Who is going to give me my four seconds back?! So I spent the past six months speeding it up. On and off. Round with our bare handsBack at the dawn of time (2018) there was a bug, "t

Drilling down into an event is as simple as dragging and dropping to create the query you need to investigate an alert or event. Persisting as you move throughout the Elastic Security app, you can add items from tables and histograms on the Overview, Detections, Hosts, and Network pages — as well as from w

Community is at the heart of everything we do at Elastic, and we wouldn’t be able to have such a vibrant and active community without our user group organizers. Each month we want to highlight some of our globally distributed user group organizers to get to know them better, learn about their Elastic stories, and understand their motivation for being involved in the Elastic community. We’ll also highlight any tips they can share for hosting successful meetups. This month, we are delighted to sho
