22
+ ==== Support added for TLS 1.3
23
+
24
+ In 7.6, we've added support for TLS 1.3, enabling you to take advantage
25
+ of the security and performance improvements available in TLS 1.3 when {beats}
26
+ connects to an {es} cluster that supports it.
27
+
28
+ TLS 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are now enabled by default.

31
+ ==== Azure cloud monitoring improvements
32
+
33
+ The new {metricbeat-ref}/metricbeat-metricset-azure-storage.html[`storage`]
34
+ metricset in the {metricbeat} {metricbeat-ref}/metricbeat-module-azure.html[Azure
35
+ module] adds the ability to collect metrics from storage accounts.
36
+
37
+ We've also made it easier for you to do a cost analysis on metrics
38
+ collection by adding a cost warning message to each metrics API call. The
39
+ message indicates the cost applied while retrieving metric values from Azure
40
+ resources.
41
+

43
+ ==== Google cloud monitoring improvements
44
+
45
+ Starting with 7.6, you can deploy {functionbeat} as a Google Function via Google
46
+ Cloud Deployment Manager and pull log events from
47
+ https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/[Google Pub/Sub] and
48
+ https://cloud.google.com/storage/[Google Cloud Storage].
49
+
50
+ We've also expanded support in {metricbeat} by adding a beta release of the
51
+ {metricbeat-ref}/metricbeat-module-googlecloud.html[Google Cloud Platform module].
52
+ This module fetches monitoring metrics from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) by using
53
+ the
54
+ https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics_gcp[Stackdriver Monitoring API].
55
+
56
+ On the logging side, we've added two new filesets to the {filebeat}
57
+ {filebeat-ref}/filebeat-module-googlecloud.html[Google Cloud module] to make it
58
+ easier for you to ingest Gloogle Cloud logs:
59
+
60
+ * The `audit` fileset parses
61
+ https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/audit/[Google Cloud Audit Logs].
62
+ * The `firewall` fileset parses firewall logs generated by firewall rules
63
+ logging.
64
+
65

66
+ ==== Better support for document deduplication
67
+
68
+ To help prevent duplicate events, we've introduced `document_id` settings
69
+ in {beats} that you can use to set the document ID _before_ sending events to
70
+ an output. The ID is stored in the {beats} `@metadata._id` field and used to
71
+ set the document ID during indexing. Both the `decode_json_fields` processor and
72
+ `json` options in the {filebeat} have been enhanced to include a
73
+ `document_id` setting to use when decoding JSON data.
74
+
75
+ We've also added new processors for generating IDs when your data has no natural
76
+ key field. The {filebeat-ref}/add-id.html[`add_id`] processor generates a unique
77
+ ID for an event. The {filebeat-ref}/fingerprint.html[`fingerprint`] processor
78
+ generates a fingerprint of an event based on a specified subset of its fields.
79
+

+ To learn more, see {filebeat-ref}/filebeat-deduplication.html[Data
81
+ deduplication].
