Summary

The release of Elastic Logs 7.7 introduces several new features aimed at enhancing observability and log management for Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) operators and application developers. Key additions include support for PCF observability through a beta release, a new Metricbeat module for PCF monitoring, and the availability of PCF application logs via Filebeat input. This release also addresses common challenges in PCF environments, such as identifying noisy apps and managing tile lifecycle, by offering an easy-to-install and scalable integration developed as a PCF app. Improvements to the Logs app include a refined date/time picker for more intuitive navigation during troubleshooting and enhanced log categorization with sample log lines for easier analysis. Additionally, the update brings general availability for MQTT protocol support, facilitating log retrieval from IoT devices using lightweight messaging. Looking ahead, Elastic plans to introduce alerting features in the Logs app. The new version is accessible via the Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud or by downloading the Elastic Stack.
