Default Elastic version: 8.5.2

Note See version selection to run a different version.

Notable changes

• Beats extensions no longer authenticate as the elastic superuser to send data to Elasticsearch. Instead, passwords for the filebeat_internal, metricbeat_internal and heartbeat_internal users (inactive by default) must be set respectively in the .env file.
• Monitoring of Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana is enabled by default via the Metricbeat extension. A password for the monitoring_internal user (inactive by default) must be set in the .env file for this to work.
• Self-monitoring is enabled by default in all Beats extensions. A password for the beat_system user (inactive by default) must be set in the .env file for this to work.
• Instructions for re-executing the setup were added. This allows resetting passwords to the values defined in the .env file, and forcing the creation of missing internal users and roles.
• It is no longer required to rebuild the image of the setup container when switching between the main and tls branches.
