Summary

Elastic Metrics 7.5.0, previously known as the Infrastructure app, has been released with significant enhancements, including a new Azure integration for collecting metrics and logs from Azure workloads, reflecting the app's expanded scope beyond infrastructure monitoring. The release introduces a range of new features, such as persistent views in Inventory and Metrics Explorer for more efficient resource and metrics browsing, as well as support for bar charts in Metrics Explorer to better visualize certain types of data. Additional improvements include AWS tags and metadata integration to enhance workload context in AWS environments, and expanded Kubernetes observability with resource quotas metrics and new ECS fields for improved correlation between Docker metrics and Kubernetes logs. The Azure module, a key addition, facilitates hybrid cloud observability by automatically collecting metrics from Azure accounts and workloads, complemented by preconfigured Kibana dashboards for streamlined monitoring. Users can access the latest version of Elastic Metrics either through the Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud by upgrading or creating a new cluster, or by downloading it as part of the default Elastic Stack distribution.
