Once an {agent} transitions to an `inactive` state and after a configurable timeout has expired, the agent will be unenrolled. {kibana-pull}189861[#189861] +* Add support for dynamic topics to the Kafka output. This allows the Kafka output to write to a topic which is dynamically set in an event field. {kibana-pull}192720[#192720] +* Add support for GeoIP processor databases in Ingest Pipelines. {kibana-pull}190830[#190830] +* Add support for reusable/shareable integration policies. This feature allows you to create integrations policies that can be shared with multiple {agent} policies, thereby reducing the number of integrations policies that you need to actively manage. {kibana-pull}187153[#187153] +* Add support for integration-level outputs. This feature enables you to send integration data to a specific output, overwriting the output defined in the {agent} Policy. {kibana-pull}189125[#189125] + + +{fleet-server}:: +* Add `/api/fleet/agents/:id/audit/unenroll` API that an {agent} or Endpoint process may use to report that an agent was uninstalled or unenrolled to {fleet}. {fleet-server-pull}3818[#3818] {agent-issue}484[#484] +* Add a `secret_paths` attribute to the policy data sent to agents. This attribute is a list of keys that {fleet-server} has replaced with a reference to a secret value. {fleet-server-pull}3908[#3908] {fleet-server-issue}3657[#3657] + +{agent}:: +* Uninstalling a {fleet}-managed {agent} instance will now do a best-effort attempt to notify {fleet-server} of the agent removal so the agent status appears correctly in the {fleet} UI (related to {fleet-server-pull}3818[#3818] above). {agent-pull}5302[#5302] {agent-issue}484[#484] +* Introduce a Helm Chart for deploying {agent} in Kubernetes. {agent-pull}5331[#5331] {agent-issue}3847[#3847] +* Remove support for the experimental shippers feature. {agent-pull}5308[#5308] {agent-issue}4547[#4547] +* Add the GCP Asset Inventory input to Cloudbeat. {agent-pull}5422[#5422] +* Add support for passphrase protected mTLS client certificate key during install/enroll. {agent-pull}5494[#5494] {agent-issue}5489[#5489] +* Elastic Defend now accepts a passphrase protected client certificate key for mTLS. {agent-pull}5542[#5542] {agent-issue}5490[#5490] +* Add a Kustomize template to enable hints-based autodiscovery by default when deploying standalone {agent} in a Kubernetes cluster. This also removes `root` privileges from the init container. {agent-pull}5643[#5643] + +[discrete] +[[enhancements-8.16.0]] +=== Enhancements + +{fleet}:: +* Update maximum supported package version. {kibana-pull}196551[#196551] +* Add additional columns to {agent} Logs UI. {kibana-pull}192262[#192262] +* Show `+build` versions for {agent} upgrades. {kibana-pull}192171[#192171] +* Add format parameter to `agent_policies` APIs. {kibana-pull}191811[#191811] +* Add toggles for `agent.monitoring.http.enabled` and `agent.monitoring.http.buffer.enabled` to agent policy advanced settings. {kibana-pull}190984[#190984] +* Support integration policies without agent policy references (aka orphaned integration policies). {kibana-pull}190649[#190649] +* Allow `traces` to be added to the `monitoring_enabled` array in Agent policies. {kibana-pull}189908[#189908] +* Add setup technology selector to the Add Integration page. {kibana-pull}189612[#189612] + +{fleet-server}:: +* Alter the checkin API to remove attributes set by the audit or unenroll API (follow-up to {fleet-server-pull}3818[#3818] above). {fleet-server-pull}3827[#3827] {agent-issue}484[#484] +* Enable warnings for configuration options that have been deprecated throughout the 8.x lifecycle. {fleet-server-pull}3901[#3901] + +{agent}:: +* Re-enable support for Elastic Defend on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2. {agent-pull}5429[#5429] +* Include the correct Elastic License 2.0 file in build artifacts and packages. {agent-pull}5464[#5464] +* Add the `pprofextension` to the {agent} OTel collector. {agent-pull}5556[#5556] +* Update the base container image from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 24.04. {agent-pull}5644[#5644] {agent-issue}5501[#5501] +* Redact values from the `elastic-agent inspect` command output for any keys in the `secret_paths` array. {agent-pull}5621[#5621] +* Redact secret paths in files written in {agent} diagnostics bundles. {agent-pull}5745[#5745] +* Update the versions of OpenTelemetry Collector components from v0.111.0/v1.17.0 to v0.112.0/v1.18.0. {agent-pull}5838[#5838] + +[discrete] +[[bug-fixes-8.16.0]] +=== Bug fixes + +{fleet}:: +* Revert "Fix client-side validation for agent policy timeout fields". {kibana-pull}194338[#194338] +* Add proxy arguments to install snippets. {kibana-pull}193922[#193922] +* Rollover if dimension mappings changed in dynamic templates. {kibana-pull}192098[#192098] + +{fleet-server}:: +* Fix the error handling when {fleet-server} attempts to authenticate with {es}. {fleet-server-pull}3935[#3935] {fleet-server-issue}3929[#3929] +* Fix an issue that caused {fleet-server} to report a `500` error on {agent} check-in because the agent has upgrade details but the referenced action ID is not found. {fleet-server-pull}3991[#3991] + +{agent}:: +* Fix {agent} crashing when self unenrolling due to too many authentication failures against {fleet-server}. {agent-pull}5438[#5438] {agent-issue}5434[#5434] +* Change the deprecated `maintainer` label in Dockerfile to use the `org.opencontainers.image.authors` label instead. {agent-pull}5527[#5527] + +// end 8.16.0 relnotes + +// --------------------- +//TEMPLATE +//Use the following text as a template.
