Elastic 6.3.2 now available for Security Onion!

The following are now available:
Docker images for Elastic 6.3.2, domainstats, freqserver, curator, and elastalert

securityonion-elastic - 20180130-1ubuntu1securityonion79 (14.04)

This should resolve the following issues:

Issue 1294: Elastic 6.3.2
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1294

For Security Onion 14.04, the updated securityonion-elastic package just changes the logstash config to match the new freq_server requirement. Therefore, you should not see any difference in dashboards or scripts.

For Security Onion 16.04, the updated securityonion-elastic package changes the logstash config and many other items. It should resolve the following issues:

Issue 1302: securityonion-elastic: dashboard updates
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1302

Issue 1303: securityonion-elastic: disable delete all in Elasticsearch
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1303

Issue 1298: securityonion-elastic: so-import-pcap should write to unique subdirectories
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1298

Issue 1297: securityonion-elastic: add script to disable dark theme in Kibana
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1297

Issue 1299: securityonion-elastic: add so-elasticsearch-template scripts
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1299

Issue 1265: securityonion-elastic: Rotate /var/log/kibana/kibana.log
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1265

Issue 1301: securityonion-elastic: provide option to tail log after restart
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1301

Issue 1269: securityonion-elastic: Logstash should include all inputs
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1269

Issue 1267: securityonion-elastic: so-elastalert-test
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1267

Issue 1268: securityonion-elastic: so-elastalert-create
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/1268

Thanks
Thanks to the Elastic team for Elastic 6.3.2!
Thanks to Mark Baggett for the new versions of domainstats and freqserver!
Thanks to Bryant Treacle for so-elastalert-test and so-elastalert-create!
Thanks to Seth Grover for so-import-pcap updates!
