Cortex v4.0.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2025-11-27 // 7 months ago-
🔒 This version introduces support for Elasticsearch 8 and includes multiple library dependency upgrades to address security vulnerabilities.
Important
🚀 Starting with this release, Cortex supports only Elasticsearch 8.x.
⬆️ If you are currently using an earlier version of Elasticsearch, you must upgrade Elasticsearch and Cortex at the same time.⬆️ See the upgrade recommendations here.
Elasticsearch 8 compatibility
👍 Cortex now supports Elasticsearch 8.x as its index engine.
👍 Due to architectural constraints, Cortex cannot support multiple major versions of Elasticsearch simultaneously. Therefore, Elasticsearch 7.x and earlier versions are no longer supported.
⬆️ Dependency upgrades
⚡️ Several library dependencies have been updated to remediate known vulnerabilities and improve overall stability.
Minor bug fix
🛠 Fixed an issue related to the docker analyzer images existence check, performed when this analyzer is launched.
