[[release-notes-8.4.1]]
=== Beats version 8.4.1
https://github.com/elastic/beats/compare/v8.4.0\...v8.4.1[View commits]
==== Known Issue
// tag::credentials-error[]
*Filebeat*
Filebeat agents configured to read from AWS inputs may return an error similar to the following:
[source,shell]
----
sqs ReceiveMessage failed: operation error SQS: ReceiveMessage, https response
error StatusCode: 403, RequestID: cb57783a-505f-5099-9160-23b8eea8ddbb,
api error SignatureDoesNotMatch: Credential should be scoped to a valid region.
----
This error was introduced by a breaking change in the AWS library.
IMPORTANT: This issue also affects FIPS-enabled endpoints. **If you rely on FIPS,
do not upgrade until version 8.4.2 of the {stack} is available.** The workaround
documented here will not resolve this problem.
Suggested resolution: In the Filebeat configuration, if an AWS input or module
configuration sets `endpoint` to a non empty string, set it to an empty string
instead. Also make sure the default AWS region is set in an environment
variable, credentials or instance profile, or in the `default_region` setting in
the configuration. For example:
[source,yaml]
----
filebeat.inputs:
- type: aws-s3
...
endpoint: "" <1>
default_region: us-east-1
----
<1> You can set this value to an empty string or remove the configuration setting.
Or for modules:
[source,yaml]
----
s3access:
enabled: false
...
var.endpoint: "" <1>
var.default_region: us-east-1
----
<1> You can set this value to an empty string or remove the configuration setting
// end::credentials-error[]
==== Bugfixes

- Fix not parsing as json when `json` and `ndjson` content types have charset information in `aws-s3` input {pull}32767[32767]
==== Added
*Filebeat*

[[release-notes-8.4.0]]
=== Beats version 8.4.0
https://github.com/elastic/beats/compare/v8.3.3\...v8.4.0[View commits]
==== Known Issues
*Auditbeat*
Auditbeat/auditd integration will send malformed data and may crash in version 8.4.0. {issue}32818[32818]
Suggested resolution:
Do not start Auditbeat or auditd integration on Elastic Agent at version 8.4.0. Skip 8.4.0 and upgrade directly to 8.4.1.
This issue is resolved in 8.4.1 and later.
//include credentials error from 8.4.1 section

- Load index templates v2 (composable index templates) by default when talking to ES 7.16 or ES 8.x. Please note that you cannot load templates into Elasticsearch 7.8 or older with this default. To load templates to these ES version, set `setup.template.type` back to `legacy`. {pull}28538[28538]
