New and Improved Sysmon Dashboards
We've improved our existing Sysmon Overview dashboard and added several new Sysmon dashboards for registry, DNS, process, file, and network logs! You can read more about our Sysmon integration in our documentation. If you just want to quickly experience our Sysmon integration, you can do a quick Import installation following the screenshots at the end of this blog post and then use so-import-evtx to import some Sysmon evtx files from public samples or your own personal collection.

Zeek 5.0.2
In this release, we are updating from Zeek 4.0.9 to Zeek 5.0.2. Zeek 5.0.2 includes changes to SSL and X509 logging to avoid a lot of duplicate data and thus save space. However, when you go to the SSL or X509 dashboards, things will look different. For example, on the SSL dashboard, the Issuer and Subject aggregations will be blank because those fields are no longer in the Zeek SSL log. The Issuer and Subject fields are still in the Zeek X509 log so you can find them on the X509 dashboard. However, Zeek now only logs a given X509 cert once per day. The de-duplication saves space but keep in mind that overall X509 volume will be lower.
These changes first appeared in Zeek 4.1.0 so please review those release notes for further information:

Existing 2.3 Installations
WARNING! If you have an existing Security Onion 2.3 installation that hasn't yet been updated to version 2.3.140 or higher, then you should be aware that the Elastic components will undergo a major version upgrade to version 8. Please review and follow the steps at the link below. Failure to do so could result in loss of access to all data stored inside of Elastic and a non-functioning Security Onion installation.
https://docs.securityonion.net/en/2.3/soup.html#elastic-8
Please be aware that custom settings in Kibana may be overwritten during upgrade. We recommend that you test the upgrade process on a test deployment before deploying to production. If you have a distributed deployment, then we recommend monitoring SOC Grid while your update is running to verify that all nodes update properly. If there are issues, you can review logs, services, and containers for any additional clues. If you need help, please see our support information below.
If you have custom Elasticsearch templates, please see:
