Summary

Beats 7.2.0 introduces enhanced processing capabilities and numerous new integrations, marking the latest stable release available for download. This version features a new script processor for edge event processing using JavaScript, which offers increased flexibility by allowing event manipulation without interacting with host systems.

In the cloud-native domain, updates include a NATS module for Filebeat and CoreDNS modules for Filebeat and Metricbeat, along with a new container input in Filebeat for dynamic log collection, especially suited for CRI-O environments. Windows platform users benefit from new Sysmon and Security modules in Winlogbeat, as well as support for the Windows XML Event Log format.
