WARNING! - ElastiFlow v4.0.0 is a major release, and now supports Elastic Common Schema (ECS). Due to significant data model changes there is no upgrade/migration from ElastiFlow 3.x. You should either remove all 3.x indices or deploy ElastiFlow 4.0.0 to a separate environment.

Breaking Changes

ElastiFlow v4.0.0 is built for Elasticsearch and Kibana 7.8.1 and later. No earlier versions will be supported. Please use a prior ElastiFlow release if you cannot yet upgrade to Elastic Stack 7.8.1+.

ElastiFlow v4.0.0 takes advantage of X-Pack Basic features, such as the Maps, SIEM and Logs apps, as well as Index Lifecycle Management (ILM). This means that you must use at least the X-Pack Basic licensed release of the Elastic Stack. The pure Apache 2.0 licensed release of the Elastic Stack will not work without disabling many features.

New Features

  • Data model has changed to leverage ECS 1.5.
  • Flow data can now be analyzed using the Kibana SIEM and Log apps.
  • Optional resolution of MAC OUIs to vendor names (disabled by default).
  • Kibana dark theme is now supported.
  • Geo IP dashboards now leverage the new Kibana Maps app.
  • Applications can now be defined manually by IP address and port number.
  • Palo Alto virtual interface indexes are translated to interfaces names.
  • Support for VeloCloud, Calix and various Cisco SD-WAN information elements.
  • KQL is now default

Updates

  • Pipeline refactored to simplify various logic, which might improve performance and throughput for some users.
  • YAML dictionaries intended for customization by users have been moved to the logstash/elastiflow/user_settings path.

Fixes

  • Client/Server detection using TCP flags is improved.

Breaking Changes

v3.4.0 adds custom field definitions for the Netflow codec. While greatly expanding the number of supported vendor-specific fields, many existing vendor-specific fields have been renamed. The ElastiFlow dashboards in previous releases were based on its normalized flow schema, or other standard Netflow and IPFIX fields, all of which are unchanged. However it may be necessary to update any Dashboards you created for the old vendor-specific field names to use the new names.

New Features

  • Add a new Threats dashboard, based on IP reputation tags
  • Netflow and IPFIX now default to included field definitions
  • Provide a sysctl.d file to set net.core.rmem_max
  • Added application ID support for Sophos, Sonicwall, Citrix Netscaler, IXIA IxFlow and Palo Alto
  • Added support for Ziften ZFlow IPFIX host agents
  • Added enrichment of enumerated values for many vendor-specific fields.

Updates

  • Updated GeoLite2-City and GeoLite2-ASN DBs
  • Updated IP Reputation dictionary
  • Set all translate filters to use the new option refresh_behaviour, setting it to replace
  • Updated FortiOS 5.6 Application IDs
  • Disabled name lookups for connections to the tcp input
  • Kibana index pattern now contains many new vendor-specific fields
