With elastic/elasticsearch#35848, users can now retrieve total hits as an integer when the `rest_total_hits_as_int` query parameter is `true`. This is the default value.
This updates several snippet examples in the Watcher docs that used a workaround to get a total hits integer.
This change adds a new `kibana_admin` role, and deprecates
the old `kibana_user` and`kibana_dashboard_only_user`roles.
The deprecation is implemented via a new reserved metadata
attribute, which can be consumed from the API and also triggers
deprecation logging when used (by a user authenticating to
Elasticsearch).
Some docs have been updated to avoid references to these
deprecated roles.

This adds a new cluster privilege `monitor_snapshot` which is a restricted
version of `create_snapshot`, granting the same privileges to view
snapshot and repository info and status but not granting the actual
privilege to create a snapshot.

PR #44238 changed several links related to the Elasticsearch search request body API. This updates several places still using outdated links or anchors.
This will ultimately let us remove some redirects related to those link changes.
The docs/reference/redirects.asciidoc file stores a list of relocated or
deleted pages for the Elasticsearch Reference documentation.
This prunes several older redirects that are no longer needed and
don't require work to fix broken links in other repositories.
Backport of #49612.
The current Docker entrypoint script picks up environment variables and
translates them into -E command line arguments. However, since any tool
executes via `docker exec` doesn't run the entrypoint, it results in
a poorer user experience.
Therefore, refactor the env var handling so that the -E options are
generated in `elasticsearch-env`. These have to be appended to any
existing command arguments, since some CLI tools have subcommands and
-E arguments must come after the subcommand.
Also extract the support for `_FILE` env vars into a separate script, so
that it can be called from more than once place (the behaviour is
idempotent).
Finally, add noop -E handling to CronEvalTool for parity, and support
`-E` in MultiCommand before subcommands.
Our documentation regarding FIPS 140 claimed that when using SAML
in a JVM that is configured in FIPS approved only mode, one could
not use encrypted assertions. This stemmed from a wrong
understanding regarding the compliance of RSA-OAEP which is used
as the key wrapping algorithm for encrypting the key with which the
SAML Assertion is encrypted.
However, as stated for instance in
https://downloads.bouncycastle.org/fips-java/BC-FJA-SecurityPolicy-1.0.0.pdf
RSA-OAEP is approved for key transport, so this limitation is not
effective.
This change removes the limitation from our FIPS 140 related
documentation.
- Section about the case where the `principal` user property can't
be mapped.
- Section about when the IdP SAML metadata do not contain a
SingleSignOnService that supports HTTP-Redirect binding.

Make clear in the docs that the role mapping APIs is the preferred
way to manage role mappings and that the role mappings that are
defined in files cannot be viewed or managed with the APIs
This change adds documentation for the SAML APIs in Elasticsearch
and adds simple instructions on how these APIs can be used to
authenticate a user with SAML by a custom web application other
than Kibana.
Resolves: #40352
This commit adds documentation for new index privilege
create_doc which only allows indexing of new documents
but no updates to existing documents via Index or Bulk APIs.
Relates: #45806
