At Elastic, we are continually evolving and growing and with this comes new opportunities. We are excited to announce our latest initiative, the Elastigrad Program, which is focused on recruiting early-career engineers. Ash Kulkarni, Elastic’s Chief Product Officer, is dedicated to creating an even more diverse engineering team, and the Elastigrad Program is a natural extension of our investment in our people. “By recruiting and training early-career engineers, we will have fresh perspect
Since its inception, Elastic Security has had a clear mission: to protect the world's data and systems from attack. We started with SIEM, built on top of the Elastic Stack, applying its fast and scalable search capabilities to detect security vulnerabilities across all threat vectors. Next, we joined forces with Endgame to integrate endpoint security into Elastic Security, and allow customers to prevent, detect, and respond to attacks from a single, unified platform. With the recent release of E
Kibana creates easy ways to do powerful things with all of your data — to ask and answer questions and follow the flow of analysis. Many times the answer to your question requires calculations based on queried data. Formulas allow you to author your own metrics by combining multiple aggregated fields using math operations. In addition, moving through and replaying your data in time and space are powerful ways to gain historical context and understand additional insight about the present. In the
We are excited to announce support for Google Compute Engine (GCE) N2 general purpose virtual machine (VM) types, and additional hardware configuration options powered by N2 custom machine types. N2 VMs leverage Intel 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable processors and provide a balance of compute, memory, and storage. N2 machine types also offer more than a 20% improvement in price-performance over the first-generation N1 machines.
When you provision an Elastic deployment on Google Cloud you wil

As a powerful search engine, Elasticsearch provides various ways to collect and enrich data with threat intel feeds, while the Elastic Security detection engine helps security analysts to detect alerts with threat indicator matching. In this blog post, we’ll provide an introduction to threat intelligence and demonstrate how Elastic Security can help organizations establish robust cyber threat intelligence (CTI) capabilities. CTI is contextual information obtained through research and analysis of
With Elastic 7.14, the filestream input, the successor of log input, is now generally available in Filebeat. This new, superior input provides better support for reading active log files, with faster reaction time when there is backpressure in the system, quicker registry updates, better cooperation with external log rotation tools, and more. Improved registry performance Previously, when a registry file (the file used for saving the progress of publishing events) contained many entries, state
While the 7.x minors keep delivering feature after feature, we are thrilled to announce the first public alpha of 8.0.0. Before we continue with this exciting news, we want to remind you that this is an alpha version. We recommend that you keep it an arm's length from production. There is no guarantee that 8.0.0-alpha1 will be compatible with other preview releases or with 8.0.0 general availability (GA). Also, 8.0.0-alpha1 will not be available on Elastic Cloud. But, we expect to make a preview
Software engineers cite constant distractions, long commute times, and a lack of flexibility as the biggest challenges of working in an office setting, according to an internal employee survey conducted by the Elastic Culture team. But the survey also revealed that the biggest benefits of a distributed environment could be the new opportunities it opens for employees — for example, the freedom to catch some waves during the workday. As Elastic offices slowly begin to reopen worldwide in accordan
