-
Disk queue filled metrics can underflow after blocked publishes. When a disk queue reaches its configured capacity, inputs can block until the output acknowledges events. The queue then accepts the blocked event without updating its metrics. When the event is later removed, the
queue.filled.events,queue.filled.bytes, andqueue.filled.pctmetrics might report incorrect values. Event delivery is unaffected. Upgrade to 8.19.21 or later to apply the fix.
Filebeat
- Filestream "take over" mode does not work in versions 8.19.0-8.19.20. A fix will ship in the 8.19.21 release.

Add
secret_stateconfig to CEL input for encrypted storage of secrets accessible asstate.secret. #49207Add a
secret_stateconfiguration field to the CEL input. When configured in a Fleet integration package withsecret: true, the values are stored encrypted by Fleet. At runtime, the contents are placed atstate.secretand unconditionally redacted in debug logs. The keysecretin the plain-text state configuration is reserved and rejected by validation to prevent accidental unencrypted storage of values intended to be secret.
