welcome to a whirlwind tour of the new
features in version 65 of the elastic
stack we'll kick it off with a big
hitter in elasticsearch cross cluster
replication this highly requested
feature enables you to replicate indices
from one elasticsearch cluster to
another we see three primary use cases
for cross cluster replication first high
availability and disaster recovery
having a secondary cluster serve as a
hot backup in case the primary fails
second geo proximity or data locality
replicating centrally generated data to
geo distributed clusters so that the
data is closer to the users which in
turn reduces the query times for those
users in the third use case data from
distributed clusters is replicated to a
single cluster for reporting from one
place we're really seeing cross cluster
replication as a beta in 65 and as we
work on getting this feature GA we would
love your feedback either via github or
our forums discussed at Alaska Tech Oh
next up canvas canvas has been available
as a technology preview for a few months
now we are thrilled to finally make it
into the free default distribution of
the elastic stack canvas lets you create
pixel-perfect stories of your life
moving elasticsearch of data it lets you
tell the story of your data your way
with your unique stamp and style it
takes the visual storytelling ikebana to
a whole new level as an added bonus it
supports the elasticsearch sequel syntax
we're excited to introduce another
highly requested Cabana feature spaces
spaces lets you group your Cabana
objects things like visualizations
dashboards even save searches in two
separate isolated compartments I can now
combine all the marketing dashboards
into a marketing space and all of the
info Operations objects into an infra
space spaces also fully integrates with
the elastic stacks role-based access
control feature letting you specify
which roles can see which spaces for
example the marketing role can see the
marketing and default spaces but not the
interest rates
spaces makes operating cabana and
multi-tenant environments a whole lot
easier
speaking of easier we've introduced two
brand-new you is to make exploring your
infrastructure logs and metrics and
Cabana a whole lot easier the
infrastructure UI is designed to give an
infra ops person a bird's-eye view of
their infrastructure to quickly spot any
troublemakers is CPU or memory usage
spiking on any pots is their heavy
traffic on a host or what's happening in
my container from there one can directly
drill into the logs or metric activity
for that component along with the
infrastructure UI we've also reduced the
logs UI a new interface tailored for
exploring logs the logs UI gives you a
console like streaming view of your logs
it's like running tail - F across your
infrastructure with the embedded search
bar you can query filter and explore
your logs using the familiar Cabana
query language syntax that you know and
love there are a few other features in
this release that logging and metrics
use cases will benefit from the first is
central management for beats many of our
users have deployed thousands of beats
across their infrastructure and this new
UI simplifies enrolling and updating
your beats configurations from a single
place in this initial beta release the
central management feature will support
file beat and metric beat if you follow
elastic stack releases you know that we
launched roll ups API and elastic search
back in version 6.3 in 6.5 we're adding
roll-up support in the Cabana it has two
parts first a new roll-ups management UI
that allows you to create and configure
your roll-up jobs from a nice user
interface second support for visualizing
your roll-up indices via a handful of
Cubana visualizations last in a stream
of logging and metrics enhancements
we're introducing a new beat function
beat function B can be deployed as a
function and serverless compute
platforms the initial release will
support a diverse lambda platform and
events from cloud watch logs and SQS
function beat also supports Kinesis and
the api gateway lick with all beats you
can conveniently stream your data
directly to a cluster deployed in
elastic cloud switching gears from logs
and metrics to application performance
monitoring the elastic APM launched in
version 6 - is rapidly adding new
capabilities and every minor release
since then six-five is no different
Java and go agents that were beta have
graduated GA status the other major news
on the APM front is distributed tracing
distributed tracing lets you follow and
end transactions as they traverse
multiple instrumented services in modern
distributed architectures the list of
new features in version 6 5 is too long
to cover in this short video for the
full details on these features and
others we couldn't cover here please
check out the release blogs or even
better take these features for a spin
you can download the latest version at
alaska tech co /downloads or spin up a
cluster on the elastic cloud for a fully
hosted experience thank you
