resolves https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/142874 The alerting framework now generates an alert UUID for every alert it creates. The UUID will be reused for alerts which continue to be active on subsequent runs, until the alert recovers. When the same alert (alert instance id) becomes active again, a new UUID will be generated. These UUIDs then identify a "span" of events for a single alert. The rule registry plugin was already adding these UUIDs to it's own alerts-as-data indices, and that code has now been changed to make use of the new UUID the alerting framework generates. - adds property in the rule task state `alertInstances[alertInstanceId].meta.uuid`; this is where the alert UUID is persisted across runs - adds a new `Alert` method getUuid(): string` that can be used by rule executors to obtain the UUID of the alert they just retrieved from the factory; the rule registry uses this to get the UUID generated by the alerting framework - for the event log, adds the property `kibana.alert.uuid` to `*-instance` event log events; this is the same field the rule registry writes into the alerts-as-data indices - various changes to tests to accommodate new UUID data / methods - migrates the UUID previous stored with lifecycle alerts in the alert state, via the rule registry *INTO* the new `meta.uuid` field in the existing alert state. |

- Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
- Questions? Problems? Suggestions?
Getting Started
If you just want to try Kibana out, check out the Elastic Stack Getting Started Page to give it a whirl.
If you're interested in diving a bit deeper and getting a taste of Kibana's capabilities, head over to the Kibana Getting Started Page.
Using a Kibana Release
If you want to use a Kibana release in production, give it a test run, or just play around:
- Download the latest version on the Kibana Download Page.
- Learn more about Kibana's features and capabilities on the Kibana Product Page.
- We also offer a hosted version of Kibana on our Cloud Service.
Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code
You might want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try out an open PR:
- CONTRIBUTING.md will help you get Kibana up and running.
- If you would like to contribute code, please follow our STYLEGUIDE.mdx.
- For all other questions, check out the FAQ.md and wiki.
Documentation
Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.
For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.
Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.
Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.
| Situation | Example Kibana version | Example ES version | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versions are the same. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.1 | 💚 OK |
| ES patch number is newer. | 7.15.0 | 7.15.1 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is newer. | 7.14.2 | 7.15.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES major number is newer. | 7.15.1 | 8.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES patch number is older. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is older. | 7.15.1 | 7.14.2 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES major number is older. | 8.0.0 | 7.15.1 | 🚫 Fatal error |
