Summary

Elastic Uptime Monitoring 7.5.0, part of the Elastic Stack, introduces several enhancements including hint-based auto-discovery for Kubernetes services, search auto-complete support in the Kibana UI, and pagination for managing high volumes of monitor status results. The release simplifies Kubernetes monitoring by allowing users to attach metadata to Docker or Kubernetes containers, enabling Heartbeat to automatically configure monitoring based on these hints. Additional features include notifications for SSL certificate expiration and support for non-privileged ICMP checks, making the tool more accessible in environments with strict security policies. These updates are designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of monitoring dynamic infrastructures, and the latest version of Elastic Uptime can be accessed via the Elasticsearch Service or downloaded as part of the Elastic Stack distribution.
