==== Version removed from default ILM policy name
17+
18+
To prevent custom ILM policies from breaking during upgrades, the default
19+
ILM policy name no longer includes the {beats} version.
20+
21+
If you want to include the version, use the `setup.ilm.policy_name`
22+
configuration setting. For example:
23+
24+
[source,yaml]
25+
----
26+
setup.ilm.policy_name: "%{[agent.name]}-%{[agent.version]}"

==== 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.

==== 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+
42+

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+

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+
80+
To learn more, see {filebeat-ref}/filebeat-deduplication.html[Data
81+
deduplication].
