+====
+The default compression level for Elasticsearch outputs is changing from 0 to 1. On typical workloads this is expected to decrease network data volume by 70-80%, while increasing cpu use by 20-25% and ingestion time by 10%. The previous behavior can be restored by adding 'compression_level: 0' to the output configuration.
