Elastic Uptime Monitoring 7.8.0 released
Blog post from Elastic
Elastic Uptime Monitoring 7.8.0 introduces significant improvements aimed at enhancing TLS certificate monitoring and alerting capabilities, addressing the challenges faced by users managing large server or container deployments. The release includes a dedicated column for certificate expiration on the Monitors Overview page, a new "certificate-focused" view providing comprehensive details of each certificate, and the ability to set custom expiration thresholds to preemptively alert users of impending expirations. These enhancements are crucial as expired certificates can lead to critical service outages, as highlighted by past incidents affecting major organizations. The update emphasizes the importance of proactive certificate management, particularly as systems transition to more complex microservice architectures. Users can experience these new features by accessing the latest version of the Elastic Uptime application through Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud or by downloading the Elastic Stack.
