Along with the introduction of Kibana Lens, a fast and intuitive
way to craft visualizations, this release offers significant
enhancements to Elastic’s Observability, Security, and Enterprise
Search solutions.
Introducing Kibana Lens: An entirely new data visualization
experience
Kibana is, and has always been, the best way to visualize data
stored in Elasticsearch and to navigate the Elastic Stack. With
7.5, Elastic is introducing Kibana Lens — an entirely new way to
craft visualizations. Lens is designed to work the way users think,
letting users rapidly go from raw data to meaningful visualization
without needing any previous technical experience or knowledge of
Elasticsearch. It starts with a new drag-and-drop experience, along
with the ability to easily switch between chart types and different
index patterns. As the user adds fields to the chart, Lens provides
smart suggestions to show other views of the data. Combined with
the speed of Elasticsearch, Lens makes it faster and easier than
ever to visualize, explore, and understand data.
More information about Lens and the other Kibana features in 7.5
is available on Elastic’s blog.
Index time enrichment in Elasticsearch gets even
richer
Way back in Elasticsearch 5.0, Elastic first introduced the
Ingest Pipeline — a way to process and enrich documents at indexing
time. By building this directly into Elasticsearch, configuration
via API is simple, scaling out is easy, and performance is quite
fast. Over the years, Elastic has seen wide adoption of this
feature and now relies on it for processing and enrichment in
nearly all of its modules — the many data sources that Elastic
natively supports. Whether it's parsing a log line with grok or
dissect or adding location data to an IP address, ingest pipelines
are increasingly the workhorse doing the ingest-time processing in
the Elastic Stack. With the 7.5 release, Elastic is delivering one
of the most requested features: lookup-based enrichment. The new
Enrich processor provides an efficient way to query an
Elasticsearch index and add the results to a document at indexing
time. This allows users to do things like identify web services or
vendors based on known IP addresses, add postal codes based on user
coordinates, or look up host information ingested from a
configuration management database and add the relevant metadata to
a document right at indexing time.
More about the enrich processor and all the new Elasticsearch
features in 7.5 can be found in Elastic’s Elasticsearch blog
post.
The Elastic Stack also hosts Elastic’s solutions: tailored
applications for common use cases. With the 7.5 release, Elastic
has also introduced improvements to its Observability, Security,
and Enterprise Search solutions.
Elastic Enterprise Search
Elastic Enterprise Search aims to connect people and teams to
the content that matters most to them. For organizations with a
significant Microsoft product footprint, Elastic Enterprise Search
now provides one-click integrations with SharePoint Online, Office
365, and OneDrive, making it easier than ever to unify and search
across content platforms. To top it off, Enterprise Search also
includes a brand new ServiceNow connector, allowing users to
centralize all business operation information in one place. With
these new sources now available alongside the ones already included
— Salesforce, Google Drive, Atlassian JIRA, Confluence, Dropbox,
and more — teams can now focus on the task at hand.
Elastic Enterprise Search is now being versioned and released
with the Elastic Stack, which makes this the 7.5.0 release, and it
remains in beta for the time being. More details about what’s new
are available in Elastic’s Enterprise Search blog post.
Elastic Observability
Elastic believes that to truly understand your applications and
infrastructure, you need to be able to see, or observe, each layer.
Elastic Observability brings together the Elastic Logs, Metrics,
APM, and Uptime products to give a more complete and comprehensive
view across an organization. Version 7.5 of the Elastic Stack
brings a significant expansion of the Elastic Metrics story and
adds several key integrations between APM, logging, and security
data for organizations adopting observability initiatives.
Elastic’s metrics story has gained steam in recent releases with
the addition of Metrics Explorer, a purpose-built user interface
for real-time metrics analytics. Elastic has also made it easier to
get started with metrics using turnkey data integrations for the
most important infrastructure and service metrics, including
Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). In 7.5,
Elastic builds on that momentum by introducing turnkey monitoring
of Microsoft Azure metrics and logs as part of Elastic’s
partnership with Microsoft. Finally, Elastic has also added initial
support for viewing endpoint security data directly in the Elastic
Metrics and Logs apps. These advances help Elastic Stack users set
up monitoring of critical services more quickly and enable them to
combine metrics with important events, such as audit logs from
endpoint devices, more efficiently.

Elastic Security
It is an exciting time for folks using the Elastic Stack to
protect their organizations. Since the last release, Elastic has
joined forces with Endgame, a leading endpoint security company,
and announced the end of per-endpoint pricing for the EPP/EDR
space. Unlimited endpoints are now included with Elastic’s
Enterprise subscriptions, so users no longer need to choose which
machines deserve protection. For servers, if you’re already
collecting security and operational data, why not protect them at
the same time? And it isn’t just about servers; the security events
from all of your infrastructure, including desktops and laptops,
should be available to security analysts. Version 7.5 of Elastic
SIEM now includes endpoint security data and alerts directly in the
SIEM app.
The 7.5 release of Elastic SIEM also continues the push to
detect threats using machine learning, from identifying unusual
patterns in DNS activity that could indicate DNS tunneling or
command and control behavior, to unusual logins over RDP or using
the runas command, and more. The SIEM app itself is expanding to
include a number of new visualizations and widgets that make threat
hunting easier, from interactive visualizations of host activity to
a new TLS view that surfaces unusual certificates and simplifies
hunting based on TLS fingerprints, such as JA3 hash.
