A documentation preview will be available soon.

  • Rebuild this PR: run docs-build
  • Rebuild this PR and all Elastic docs: run docs-build rebuild

run docs-build is much faster than run docs-build rebuild. A rebuild should only be needed in rare situations.

If your PR continues to fail for an unknown reason, the doc build pipeline may be broken. Elastic employees can check the pipeline status here.

Thank you, @natasha-moore-elastic! The release notes look good from the Rules Management side. I left a non-critical comment for you to consider.

* Strips `originId` from connectors before rule import to ensure correct ID regeneration and prevent errors when migrating connector references on rules ({kibana-pull}223454[#223454]).
* Refactors Timeline styling for improved consistency with design updates ({kibana-pull}222438[#222438]).
* Fixes a bug where the **Rules**, **Alerts**, and **Fleet** pages would stall in air-gapped environments ({kibana-pull}220510[#220510]).
* Fixes an issue in {elastic-defend} that may result in bugchecks (BSODs) on Windows systems with a very high volume of network connections. This issue has only been observed on Windows Server.

Hey @natasha-moore-elastic,

We just got merged elastic/kibana#227859 and elastic/kibana#227803. I see these two aren't in the list.

@nikitaindik and @dplumlee are there any other missing bug fixes you backported to 8.18.4?

Hi @maximpnelastic/kibana#227355 doesn't have an v8.18.4 label and I also don't see an 8.18 backport in the PR, so just double-checking it will indeed go into 8.18.4?

I'll add elastic/kibana#227803 to the list of fixes 👍

so just double-checking it will indeed go into 8.18.4?

@natasha-moore-elastic No, elastic/kibana#227355 a fix for the feature that's not released yet. Hence the release_note:skip label. No need to mention it here.

Feel free to add a note for the elastic/kibana#227803 one.
