Logstash 7.10.0 released
Blog post from Elastic
Logstash 7.10.0 has been released, offering significant updates and new features to improve user experience and integration capabilities. This version simplifies the installation process by bundling the AdoptOpenJDK 11, eliminating the need for separate JDK installation for new users, while still supporting existing custom JDK configurations. Additionally, it enhances integration with Apache Kafka by enabling the decoding of Avro messages using the Confluent Schema Registry, which allows users to manage and fetch Avro schemas for processing Kafka topics. This functionality is supported by the updated Kafka plugin version 10.6.0, which will be included in the next minor release. Users are encouraged to explore these new features and provide feedback through various community platforms.
