Current 1.x versions of the `input-snmp` plugin are bundled with {ls} by default, and will soon be replaced by the 4.0.0+ version contained in this new integration. If you want to try the new `integration-snmp` plugin while it is in Technical Preview, run `bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-integration-snmp`. IMPORTANT: Before you install the new integration, be aware of {logstash-ref}/plugins-integrations-snmp.html#plugins-integrations-snmp-migration[behavioral and mapping differences] between current stand-alone plugins and the new versions included in `integration-snmp`. [[notable-8.14.0]] ==== Enhancements and notable issues fixed * Fixed a bug that created duplicated `io.netty.allocator.maxOrder` system property when using environment variable `LS_JAVA_OPTS` in Docker https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16079[#16079] ==== Plugins *Jdbc Integration - 5.4.10* * [DOC] Added database-specific considerations https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-jdbc/pull/167[#167] *Kafka Integration - 11.4.1* * Added `message_headers` option to set headers of record for Kafka output https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-kafka/pull/162[#162] [[dependencies-8.14.0]] ==== Updates to dependencies * Update JRuby to 9.4.7.0 https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16125[#16125] [[logstash-8-13-4]] === Logstash 8.13.4 Release Notes No user-facing changes in Logstash core. ==== Plugins *Elasticsearch Output - 11.22.6* * [DOC] Logstash output.elasticsearch index can be alias or datastream https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/pull/1179[#1179] [[logstash-8-13-3]] === Logstash 8.13.3 Release Notes No user-facing changes in Logstash core. ==== Plugins *Beats Input - 6.8.3* * Updated netty to 4.1.109 https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-beats/pull/495[#495] *Http Input - 3.8.1* * Updated netty to 4.1.109 https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-http/pull/173[#173] *Tcp Input - 6.4.2* * Updated netty to 4.1.109 https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-tcp/pull/220[#220] *Multiline Codec - 3.1.2* * Fixed a race condition in periodic runner that blocks clean up process and pipeline shutdown https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-codec-multiline/pull/72[#72] [[logstash-8-13-2]] === Logstash 8.13.2 Release Notes * Update Dockerfile to fix publishing of docker images to Docker Hub registry https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16059[#16059] ==== Plugins *Elasticsearch Output - 11.22.5* * [DOC] Correctly document default data stream name (`logs-generic-default`) https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/pull/1140[#1140] * [DOC] Add note that ecs-compatibility is required for data streams to work properly https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/pull/1174[#1174] [[logstash-8-13-1]] === Logstash 8.13.1 Release Notes No user-facing changes in Logstash core. [[logstash-8-13-0]] === Logstash 8.13.0 Release Notes [[featured-8-13-0]] ==== New {ls} plugin: Elastic_integration filter With the {ls} Elastic_integration filter, you can take advantage of the features in {integrations-docs}[Elastic integrations] without missing out on the advanced processing capabilities offered by {ls}. Together, Elastic integrations and {ls} can help you solve a wide range of use cases, including air gapped environments, data privacy processing, and multiple destinations. Your {ls} pipeline would include the elastic_agent input, the elastic_integration filter, and the elasticsearch output, in addition to any other plugins you want to use. Check out <> and the <> plugin docs for details. [[notable-8.13.0]] ==== Enhancements and notable issues fixed * Flow metrics added `worker_utilization` to pipeline-level https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/15912[#15912] * Ensure that the order of JVM options from both files and environment variables is respected https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/15997[#15997] [[plugin-changes-8.13.0]] ==== Changes to bundled plugins * Packaged `filter-elastic_integration` as a bundled plugin in preparation for GA. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/15769[#15769] * Unbundled `logstash-input-imap` plugin https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/15985[#15985] ==== Plugins *Elastic_integration Filter - 0.1.6* * The elastic_integration filter is generally available and bundled with Logstash 8.13.0. Using this filter, {ls} can process data collected by {integrations-docs}[Elastic integrations]. + When you configure the filter to point to an {es} cluster, it auto-detects the event’s data-stream to determine what integration processing (if any) should be executed for each event. It performs that processing inside {ls} without transmitting the event to {es}. Events that are successfully handled are tagged so that any downstream {es} output in the {ls} pipeline will not re-run the integration in {es}. * Fixes issue where configured `username`/`password` credentials was not sent to Elasticsearch instances that had anonymous access enabled https://github.com/elastic/logstash-filter-elastic_integration/pull/127[#127] *Beats Input - 6.8.0* * Added a new configuration option `event_loop_threads` to control the threads count of netty event loop https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-beats/pull/490[#490] ** When multiple beats-input pipelines are defined in a single machine, sometimes the number of thread may lead to a resource problem. ** By default, netty event loop creates CPU * 2 thread count. This configuration intends to limit or increase the number of threads to be created for the event loop. *Elasticsearch Input - 4.20.1* * Added support to aggregations with a new configuration option `response_type` https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-elasticsearch/pull/202[#202] ** `hits`, the default, is to generate one event per returned document, which is the current behavior. ** `aggregations` is to allow processing result of aggregations. A single Logstash event will be generated with the contents of the aggregations object of the query's response. *Tcp Output - 6.2.0* * Deprecated SSL settings to comply with Logstash's naming convention https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-tcp/pull/53[#53] ** Deprecated `ssl_enable` in favor of `ssl_enabled` ** Deprecated `ssl_cert` in favor of `ssl_certificate` ** Deprecated `ssl_verify` in favor of `ssl_client_authentication` when mode is `server` ** Deprecated `ssl_verify` in favor of `ssl_verification_mode` when mode is `client` ** Added `ssl_cipher_suites` configuration ** Added SSL configuration validations *Elasticsearch Output - 11.22.3* * Fixes an issue where events containing non-unicode strings could fail to serialize correctly when compression is enabled https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch/pull/1169[#1169] [[logstash-8-12-2]] === Logstash 8.12.2 Release Notes * Set Netty's maxOrder options to previous default value of 11 https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/15928[#15928] * Add "openssl" to UBI docker images https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/15929[#15929] [[known-issues-8.12.2]] ==== Known issues * The order of JVM flags is broken, leading to the inability to customize certain JVM configurations with the environment variable `LS_JAVA_OPTS`. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/15996[15996] ** A workaround is to specify JVM flags in the `config/jvm.options` file rather than relying on the `LS_JAVA_OPTS` environment variable. ==== Plugins *Jdbc Integration - 5.4.8* * Update Derby to 10.15.2.1 (built from source) https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-jdbc/pull/155[#155] * Update sequel version to >= 5.74.0, that allows the generic jdbc adapter to better handle disconnect errors https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-jdbc/pull/153[#153] *Kafka Integration - 11.3.4* * Fix "retries" and "value_serializer" error handling in output plugin https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-kafka/pull/160[#160] [[logstash-8-12-1]] === Logstash 8.12.1 Release Notes * Updates bundled JDK https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/15840[#15840] ==== Plugins *Http Filter - 1.5.1* * Don't process response when the body is empty. https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-http/pull/50[#50] *Syslog_pri Filter - 3.2.1* * Remove spurious leftover text from "use_labels" docs https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-syslog_pri/pull/15[#15] *Logstash Integration -

When impacted by this issue, Logstash fails to start and logs an error similar to the following: ``` [logstash.licensechecker.licensereader] Failed to perform request {:message=>"PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target", :exception=>Manticore::ClientProtocolException, :cause=>#} ``` **Resolution** A successful Elasticsearch output plugin update to version `11.15.8` or higher will resolve this issue: ``` bin/logstash-plugin update logstash-output-elasticsearch ``` OR Specify the `ca_trusted_fingerprint` setting in the `logstash.yml`. The certificate fingerprint can be extract with: ``` cat your_ca.cert | openssl x509 -outform der | sha256sum | awk '{print $1}' ``` Then set the following on `logstash.yml` using the output from the previous command: ``` xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.ca_trusted_fingerprint: "" xpack.management.elasticsearch.ssl.ca_trusted_fingerprint: "" ``` [[notable-8.8.0]] ==== Notable issues fixed * Fix a race condition that prevents Logstash from updating a pipeline's configuration with in-flight events experiencing connection errors. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/14739[#14739] This issue primarily manifests following the update of Elasticsearch credentials through Central Management, after credentials expired while events were in-flight. It causes the Elasticsearch Output to get stuck attempting to send events with the expired credentials instead of using the updated ones. To address this problem, Logstash has improved the pipeline shutdown phase functionality to allow an output plugin to request the termination of the in-flight batch of events; hence preventing the need for administrators to manually restart Logstash. Furthermore, when used in combination with a persistent queue to prevent data loss, the batch is eligible for reprocessing on pipeline restart. Plugin developers can now decide whether to make use of such functionality on output plugins. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14940[#14940] [[dependencies-8.8.0]] ==== Updates to dependencies * Updates Bundler to version 2.4 https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14995[#14995] ==== Plugins *Elasticsearch Filter -

[[logstash-8-3-1]] === Logstash 8.3.1 Release Notes [[notable-8.3.1]] ==== Notable issues fixed * We fixed an event serializing incompatibility introduced in 8.3.0 https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14314[#14314] If you're using dead letter queues or persistent queues we recommend that you do not use Logstash 8.3.0 and upgrade to 8.3.1. [[logstash-8-3-0]] === Logstash 8.3.0 Release Notes [[known-issue-8-3-0]] ==== Known issue An event serialization bug was discovered, which causes an issue when trying to read dead letter or persistent queues created in previous versions of Logstash. We recommend not upgrading to Logstash 8.3.0 if you are using dead letter or persistent queues. [[features-8.3.0]] ==== New features and enhancements * {ls} is more efficient at fetching pipelines as of 8.3.0. When a {ls} instance sends its pipeline IDs to {es} or central pipeline management in {kib}, it gets back only the pipeline configs that belong to that instance. These enhancements required changes to both {ls} https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14076[(#14076)] and {es} https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/85847[(#85847)]. + These improvements dramatically decrease network load while also giving users the ability to control pipelines dynamically using wildcards. * Dead Letter Queues can now be configured to drop older events instead of new ones when they're full. The setting "dead_letter_queue.storage_policy" has been introduced for this purpose, and new metrics - such as a counter for dropped events - are now exposed in the API to better monitor the DLQ behavior. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13923[#13923] https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14058[#14058] * To improve security of Logstash deployments, 8.3.0 brings a new setting "allow_superuser" that defaults to false. When enabled it prevents Logstash from starting as super user ("root"). This setting will be enabled by default in the future. Consider explicitly enabling it. Otherwise a deprecation log entry will be emitted. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14046[#14046] https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14089[#14089] * Continuing with the focus on security, we've introduced "api.auth.basic.password_policy.mode" to ensure the password used to guard Logstash's HTTP API has a minimum set of strength requirements. By default a warning will be emitted if the defined password doesn't meet the criteria, but in a future release the mode will be set to "ERROR". https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14045[#14045] https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14105[#14105] https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14159[#14159] * Elasticsearch introduced "security on by default" back in 8.0.0, with TLS enabled by default in its HTTP and transport layers. To facilitate connecting to 8.x clusters, Elasticsearch displays the fingerprint of the Certificate Authority it generates on startup. This release of Logstash introduces support for setting "ca_trusted_fingerprint" in Elasticsearch input, filter and outputs plugins. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14120[#14120] * Technical Preview: Receiving events containing keys with characters that have special meaning to Logstash such as `[` and `]` (for field references) has always causes issues to data ingestion. A new setting in Technical Preview, disabled by default, called "config.field_reference.escape_style" was introduced to handle such special characters by escaping them. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14044[#14044] [[notable-8.3.0]] ==== Notable issues fixed * Don't display values of password type settings in conditionals https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13997[#13997] * Introduce a retry mechanism in pipeline-to-pipeline instead of crashing https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14027[#14027] * Add thread safety around Puma startup/shutdown https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14080[#14080] * Add value converters for java.time classes https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13972[#13972] * Correct the class reference to the MetricNotFound exception https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13970[#13970] * Fix a possible corruption of Persistent Queue during a crash of the Logstash process https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14165[#14165] [[dependencies-8.3.0]] ==== Updates to dependencies * The bundled JDK 11 has been updated to 11.0.15+10 https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/14031[#14031] * Jackson and jackson-databind have been updated to 2.13.3 https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13945[#13945] [[plugins-8.3.0]] ==== Plugin releases *Avro Codec -

Prepending `bundle exec` to your command may solve this. ``` Logstash should still run, and other plugin operations, such as `update` and `install`, should work as expected. NOTE: The `bin/logstash-plugin list` command may fail with the same error after a failed uninstallation. **Resolution** A successful plugin `update` will resolve this issue, and allow subsequent `uninstall` and `list` operations to work without issue. The `filter-dissect` plugin has recent changes available for update. Running `bin/logstash-plugin update logstash-filter-dissect` should mitigate this issue. ==== Logstash core No user-facing changes in Logstash core. ==== Plugins *Http Filter - 1.3.0* * Feat: support ssl_verification_mode option https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-http/pull/37[#37] *Kv Filter - 4.6.0* * Added `allow_empty_values` option https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-kv/pull/72[#72] *Http_poller Input - 5.2.0* * Feat: support ssl_verification_mode option https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-http_poller/pull/131[#131] *Sqs Input - 3.2.0* * Feature: Add `queue_owner_aws_account_id` parameter for cross-account queues https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-sqs/pull/60[#60] *Elastic_enterprise_search Integration - 2.2.1* * Fix, change implementation of connectivity check method to be compatible with version `v8.0+` of Workplace Search https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-elastic_enterprise_search/pull/16[#16] * Feature, switch the connection library to elastic-enterprise-search https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-elastic_enterprise_search/pull/3[#3] * [DOC] Added required parameters to Workplace Search example snippet and describe little better what's expected in url parameter https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-integration-elastic_enterprise_search/pull/11[#11] *Http_client Mixin - 7.1.0* * Feat: add `ssl_verification_mode` https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-mixin-http_client/pull/39[#39] *Http Output - 5.3.0* * Feat: support ssl_verification_mode option https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-http/pull/126[#126] [[logstash-8-0-1]] === Logstash 8.0.1 Release Notes [[notable-8.0.1]] ==== Notable issues fixed * Fixed monitoring incompatibility on Windows where the CPU metric was not available. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13727[#13727] * Recently, users running `bin/logstash-plugin` to install or update plugins stumbled upon an issue that would prevent Logstash from starting due a third-party dependency update.

[[breaking-8.0.0]] ==== Breaking changes * Many plugins can now be run in a mode that avoids implicit conflict with the Elastic Common Schema (ECS). This mode is controlled individually with each plugin’s ecs_compatibility option, which defaults to the value of the Logstash pipeline.ecs_compatibility setting. In Logstash 8, this compatibility mode will be on-by-default for all pipelines. If you wish to lock in a pipeline’s behavior from Logstash 7.x before upgrading to Logstash 8, you can set `pipeline.ecs_compatibility: disabled` to its definition in `pipelines.yml` (or globally in `logstash.yml`). * Starting from Logstash 8.0, the minimum required version of Java to run Logstash is Java 11. By default, Logstash will run with the bundled JDK, which has been verified to work with each specific version of Logstash, and generally provides the best performance and reliability. * Support for using `JAVA_HOME` to override the path to the JDK that Logstash runs with has been removed for this release. In the `8.x` release, users should set the value of `LS_JAVA_HOME` to the path of their preferred JDK if they wish to use a version other than the bundled JDK. The value of `JAVA_HOME` will be ignored. * The Java Execution Engine has been the default engine since Logstash 7.0, and works with plugins written in either Ruby or Java. Removal of the Ruby Execution Engine will not affect the ability to run existing pipelines. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12517[#12517] * We have added support for UTF-16 and other multi-byte-character when reading log files. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/9702[#9702] * Setting `config.field_reference.parser` has been removed. The Field Reference parser interprets references to fields in your pipelines and plugins. Its behavior was configurable in 6.x, and since 7.0 allowed only a single option: `strict`. 8.0 no longer recognizes the setting, but maintains the same behavior as the `strict` setting. {ls} rejects ambiguous and illegal inputs as standard behavior. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12466[#12466] For a more detailed view of these changes please check <>. [[features-8.0.0]] ==== New features and enhancements * As processing times speed up, millisecond granularity is not always enough. Inbound data increasingly has sub-millisecond granularity timestamps. The pull request https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12797[#12797] allows the internal mechanisms of Logstash that hold moment-in-time data - such as the Logstash Event, the Persistent Queue, the Dead Letter Queue and JSON encoding/decoding - to have nanosecond granularity. * We have added another flag to the Benchmark CLI to allow passing a data file with previously captured data to the custom test case. This feature allows users to run the Benchmark CLI in a custom test case with a custom config and a custom dataset. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12437[#12437] ==== Plugins Logstash 8.0.0 includes the same versions of all bundled plugins as Logstash 7.17.0. If you upgrade to 7.17 before upgrading to 8.0 (as recommended), you won't see any changes to plugin versions. *Clone Filter - 4.2.0* * Added support for ECS v8 as alias for ECS v1 https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-clone/pull/27[#27] *Geoip Filter - 7.2.11* * Improved compatibility with the Elastic Common Schema https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-geoip/pull/206[#206] ** Added support for ECS's composite `region_iso_code` (`US-WA`), which _replaces_ the non-ECS `region_code` (`WA`) as a default field with City databases.

Now the total out event count includes only events that reach the out stage. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13593[#13593] * Reduced scope and impact of a memory leak that can be caused by using UUIDs or other high-cardinality field names https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13642[#13642] * Fixed an issue with the Azure input plugin that caused Logstash to crash when the input was used in a pipeline. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/13603[#13603] ==== Plugin releases Plugins align with release 7.17.0 [[logstash-8-0-0-rc1]] === Logstash 8.0.0-rc1 Release Notes ==== Breaking changes [[rn-ecs-compatibility]] ===== ECS compatibility Many plugins can now be run in a mode that avoids implicit conflict with the Elastic Common Schema (ECS). This mode is controlled individually with each plugin’s ecs_compatibility option, which defaults to the value of the Logstash pipeline.ecs_compatibility setting. In Logstash 8, this compatibility mode will be on-by-default for all pipelines. If you wish to lock in a pipeline’s behavior from Logstash 7.x before upgrading to Logstash 8, you can set pipeline.ecs_compatibility: disabled to its definition in pipelines.yml (or globally in logstash.yml). ==== New features and enhancements Logstash Docker images are now based on Ubuntu 20.04. ==== Plugin releases Plugins align with release 7.16.2 [[logstash-8-0-0-beta1]] === Logstash 8.0.0-beta1 Release Notes ==== Breaking changes [[rn-java-11-minimum]] ===== Java 11 minimum Starting from Logstash 8.0, the minimum required version of Java to run Logstash is Java 11. By default, Logstash will run with the bundled JDK, which has been verified to work with each specific version of Logstash, and generally provides the best performance and reliability. See <> for a preview of additional breaking changes coming your way. ==== New features and enhancements [[rn-nanosecond-precision]] ===== Nanosecond precision As processing times speed up, millisecond granularity is not always enough. Inbound data increasingly has sub-millisecond granularity timestamps. The pull request https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12797[#12797] allows the internal mechanisms of Logstash that hold moment-in-time data - such as the Logstash Event, the Persistent Queue, the Dead Letter Queue and JSON encoding/decoding - to have nanosecond granularity. Timestamp precision is limited to the JVM and Platform's available granularity, which in many cases is microseconds. This change also grants users access to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html#patterns[Java time's improved formatters], which include support fort ISO quarters, week-of-month, and a variety of timezone/offset-related format substitutions. For example: [source,json] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- filter { mutate { add_field => {"nanos" => "Nanos: %{{n}}" } } } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results in the following event: [source,json] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- { "@timestamp" => 2021-10-31T22:32:34.747968Z, "host" => "logstash.lan", "nanos" => "Nanos: 747968000", "message" => "test", "type" => "stdin", "@version" => "1" } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==== Plugin releases Plugins align with release 7.15.1 [[logstash-8-0-0-alpha2]] === Logstash 8.0.0-alpha2 Release Notes ==== Breaking changes [[java-home-breaking-change]] ===== Removed support for JAVA_HOME Support for using `JAVA_HOME` to override the path to the JDK that Logstash runs with has been removed for this release. In the `8.x` release, users should set the value of `LS_JAVA_HOME` to the path of their preferred JDK if they wish to use a version other than the bundled JDK. The value of `JAVA_HOME` will be ignored. ==== Plugin releases Plugins align with release 7.15.0 [[logstash-8-0-0-alpha1]] === Logstash 8.0.0-alpha1 Release Notes ==== Breaking changes [[ruby-engine]] ===== Ruby Execution Engine removed The Java Execution Engine has been the default engine since Logstash 7.0, and works with plugins written in either Ruby or Java. Removal of the Ruby Execution Engine will not affect the ability to run existing pipelines. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12517[#12517] [[utf-16]] ===== Support for UTF-16 We have added support for UTF-16 and other multi-byte-character when reading log files. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/9702[#9702] [[field-ref-parser]] ===== Field Reference parser removed The Field Reference parser interprets references to fields in your pipelines and plugins. It was configurable in 7.x, with the default set to strict to reject inputs that are ambiguous or illegal. Configurability is removed in 8.0. Now {ls} rejects ambiguous and illegal inputs as standard behavior. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12466[#12466] ==== New features and enhancements **Option to pass custom data to the benchmark CLI** We have added another flag to the Benchmark CLI to allow passing a data file with previously captured data to the custom test case. This feature allows users to run the Benchmark CLI in a custom test case with a custom config and a custom dataset. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12437[#12437] ==== Plugin releases Plugins align with release 7.14.0
