  • Update to Golang 1.12.4. 11782

  • Update to ECS 1.0.1. 12284 12317

  • Default of output.kafka.metadata.full is set to false by now. This reduced the amount of metadata to be queried from a kafka cluster. 12738

  • Fixed a crash under Windows when fetching processes information. 12833

  • Update to Golang 1.12.7. 12931

Auditbeat

  • Auditd module: Normalized value of event.category field from user-login to authentication. 11432
