ElastiFlow v3.0.0 Release Notes

  • ๐Ÿ†• New Features

    • ๐Ÿš€ Dashboards have been rebuilt to leverage features added since the release of Kibana 6.x. This includes the addition of experimental dashboards which leverage the new Vega visualization.
    • ๐Ÿ”จ The schema was refactored to minimize the volume of data stored and increase the efficiency of processing. The result is a reduction of storage requirements by 20-30%, and better throughput.
    • IP reputation tagging has been added to assist in the identification of suspect network traffic.
    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improved support for application identification data has been added for Cisco NBAR2 and Fortinet.
    • โž• Added support for simultaneous collection over IPv4 and IPv6 on separate interfaces.
    • ๐Ÿ”– Versioning has been added for indices and index templates. This will make it possible in the future to create reindexing methods for the migration of historical data to newer versions.
    • GeoIP and ASN lookups can now be enabled/disabled using an environment variable. Users who don't need these capabilities will be able to disable them, saving disk space and increasing processing efficiency.
    • Index mappings were modified to more gracefully handle various vendor-specific flow field implementations.
