You can now configure which services to back up to your cold storage. When Service Level Backup is enabled, you can choose between All Services and Only Selected Services.
- All Services: You can rehydrate individual services instead of being restricted to index-level granularity.
- Only Selected Services: Specify which services you want to back up. Some key benefits of targeted cold storage:
- Targeted cost optimization: Save money where it makes sense without compromising on critical services
- Service-appropriate retention: Match data lifecycle to each service's actual needs
- Strategic resource allocation: Invest observability resources based on service priority
- Simplified compliance: Apply different retention rules only where legally necessary
Note: Disabling Service Level Backup will switch back to the default index-level granularity, meaning you cannot rehydrate individual services.

Improvements
- The smallest supported window for creating a new Rehydrated Index is now 1 minute, down from the previous minimum of 1 hour.
Fixes
- Logs for the failing condition were received just before the Scheduled Search start time, but the alert link rounded the timestamp, causing them to be excluded from the alert window.
