[[alerting-framework-highlights]]
=== New alerting framework
beta:[]Alerting allows you to detect complex conditions in
{kib} apps and trigger actions when those conditions are met.
Alerting is integrated with <<xpack-apm,APM>>, <<xpack-infra,Metrics>>,
<<xpack-siem,SIEM>>, and <<xpack-uptime,Uptime>> and is
centrally managed from <<management, Management>>.
Alerting has built-in <<action-types, actions>> and
<<alert-types, alerts>> for you to use.

=== Canvas with your visualizations
Visualizations that you created in Lens, Visualize, and

to brand your Canvas presentation to your executive team and partners.

[[lens-filtering-highlights]]
=== Improved filtering of Lens visualizations in dashboards
Digging into the Lens visualizations on your
dashboard just got faster. You can now filter the data in one
Lens visualization, and immediately apply that filter to all
Lens visualizations on the dashboard.

[[lens-formatting-highlights]]

To accurately display the data in Lens visualizations,
try out the new number formats. The new dropdown has options for formatting
numbers as percentages
and bytes. There's also a field for setting how many decimal places to display.

[[map-points-highlights]]
=== Individual map points on zoom
*Elastic Maps* improves the way you work with large amounts of coordinate data.
With the new default setting, points are clustered on a map until you zoom into an area with
less than 10,000 discrete points. Then, you'll see
individual points. This feature is useful for map data
points that are in both dense urban areas and rural locations.

[[map-distance-filter-highlights]]
=== Distance filters in Elastic Maps
The distance filter is a new way
to filter map data
within a specific radius. Simply select a
central location, and then draw a circle around it with your mouse.
The distance filter is in addition to the tools for filtering data by custom shape and by rectangular bound.

[[file-uploader-highlights]]
=== {data-viz} now recommends {filebeat} config
experimental[] When you upload a file to the *{data-viz}*, a {filebeat}
configuration is recommended for you to use. You can then use {filebeat} to add
more data of the same structure to the same index that was created during an
initial upload.
