Elastic 8.4 introduces new capabilities to the Elastic Search Platform and its three core solutions: Elastic Enterprise Search, Elastic Observability, and Elastic Security, all built on the Elastic Stack. Elastic Enterprise Search enhances data ingestion and native vector search capabilities, allowing for more efficient search experiences. Elastic Observability improves problem resolution with advanced alert and incident management through a new dedicated control plane. Elastic Security boosts threat response with an updated automation interface and new security orchestration partnerships. The upgrade also offers benefits such as reduced index sizes for machine-generated data, automated explanations of log rate spikes, and enhanced Kibana alerting, all accessible through Elastic Cloud, which hosts the full suite of new features.
