May 2026 monthly summary for elastic/ecs: Implemented a vulnerability.status field with four lifecycle states to classify findings and enable default filtering of remediated vulnerabilities on the CDR Vulnerability Findings page. This design supports multiple security vendors and aligns with RFC 0055, improving clarity, triage speed, and overall security posture. The work was delivered through two commits targeting beta readiness and immediate adoption.

April 2026: Delivered a configurable retry mechanism for transform integrations in elastic/package-spec, adding a new option num_failure_retries to transform settings. This enables recoverable failures to be retried up to a configurable limit (-1 for infinite), shifting from masking to a granular retry approach and aligning with upstream Elasticsearch spec (PR #6090). Commit 260f32460ba1b9c8e4ecba16536b9d74967e640e documents the change and rationale.

March 2026 monthly summary for elastic/package-spec: Key feature delivery to enhance benchmarking configurability; introduced a deployer property for system benchmarks with support for docker, tf, and k8s; added validation tests for deployer configurations; alignment with existing test configuration framework, improving reproducibility and reducing misconfigurations; committed as a2aa38b60cceb61c2690c2c027af8e7960639734. No major bugs fixed this month; focus on delivering business value through configurable benchmarks and test coverage.
