Elasticsearch has introduced a new feature in version 8.16 that helps manage daylight saving time (DST) changes to prevent false positive alerts in anomaly detection jobs. This enhancement allows users to create DST calendars in Kibana, which can be linked to existing or new anomaly detection jobs, ensuring that the jobs adjust their time settings in accordance with DST changes. This is particularly useful for countries with multiple time zones and complex DST rules, such as the US and Australia, requiring multiple calendars and jobs. The new DST calendar functionality is available in Elastic Cloud Serverless, offering an effective solution to the challenge of managing seasonal time changes. Elastic notes that the release and timing of features are subject to change at their discretion.
