Breaking changesedit
Breaking changes can prevent your application from optimal operation and performance. Before you upgrade to 8.9.0, review the breaking changes, then mitigate the impact to your application.
Hide Uptime app if no data is available
Details
The Uptime app now gets hidden from the interface when it doesn’t have any data for more than a week. If you have a standalone Heartbeat pushing data to Elasticsearch, the Uptime app is considered active. You can disable this automatic behavior from the advanced settings in Kibana using the Always show legacy Uptime app option.
For synthetic monitoring, we now recommend to use the new Synthetics app. For more information, refer to #159118
Remove synthetics pattern from Uptime settings

Data from browser monitors and monitors of all types created within the Synthetics App or via the Elastic Synthetics Fleet Integration will no longer appear in Uptime. For more information, refer to #159012
