ECS 1.4.0
This release introduces two much-awaited changes.
The text
analyzer has been added to many existing fields. This enables full text search queries on fields that contain a lot of text, or semi-structured data (such as file paths and urls). Look at #575 and #680 to learn more. As an example, the field user_agent.original
can now service full text search queries at user_agent.original.text
.
We're also introducing the first set of allowed values for the 4 previously reserved fields (event.kind
, event.category
, event.type
and event.outcome
). We're calling them the "categorization fields". More allowed values will be released over time. You can preview future values, and provide feedback in this public document: https://ela.st/ecs-categories-draft. Learn more in the new "ECS Categorization Fields" section of the documentation.
