A documentation preview will be available soon.

Request a new doc build by commenting
  • 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.

Checked on behalf of Rule Management. All good. 👍

* Fixes model {bedrock} on preconfigured connectors ({kibana-pull}221411[#221411]).
* Fixes an issue in {elastic-defend}'s networking kernel driver that can manifest as a `DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION` https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/bug-checks--blue-screens-[bugcheck] in high-load environments that maintain a large number of concurrent and/or short-lived network connections.
* Removes potentially confusing {elastic-defend} error messages.
* Fixes an edge case in {elastic-defend}'s `call_stack_final_user_module` and `call_stack_final_hook_module` logic.
