Sep 1, 2025

Concise monthly summary for Sep 2025 focusing on delivered features, major fixes, impact, and skills demonstrated across two repos: Dosant/kibana and elastic/endpoint-package. Key features delivered: - Elastic Defend Windows policy: Enhanced event-logging controls with a new policy to disable collection of specific security events by IDs; origin_info_collection default true (documented in 9.2.0+). Docs updated to reflect policy behavior and event IDs granularity. - Endpoint-package Windows Observability: LDAP Client ETW fields added for richer event data; RemoteCredentialGuard field added to security events; metric documentation for event tracing added to support observability and operational metrics. - Documentation cleanup: Removed legacy Windows security events documentation and updated YAML/config references to reduce confusion and maintenance burden. Major bugs fixed: - Cleanup of legacy Windows security event documentation in endpoint-package with corresponding YAML/config updates. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved security observability and policy control on Windows endpoints, enabling granular event logging and richer telemetry while protecting privacy via fine-grained collection controls. - Strengthened cross-repo consistency between Kibana policy tooling and endpoint observability package, with clearer documentation and reduced legacy debt. - Demonstrated capabilities in ETW-based event enrichment, security event schema evolution, and documentation discipline. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Windows Event Tracing (ETW), LDAP Client ETW integration, security event schema evolution (RemoteCredentialGuard, event fields), endpoint policy configuration, YAML/config maintenance, and technical documentation.
