Elastic 9.4: Workflows GA, FIPS 140-3 compliance GA, Prometheus/PromQL support in preview

Elastic Workflows (rules-based + agentic automation for security triage/response) reaches GA, replacing the need for separate SOAR tooling. Elasticsearch and Kibana get full-stack FIPS 140-3 GA ahead of the September 2026 deadline, no data migration required. Native PromQL support (technical preview) claims 30x faster queries than Prometheus itself.

n8n has offered general-purpose workflow/agent automation since 2019; Elastic Workflows is a narrower, security-ops-scoped automation layer bolted onto the search platform in 2026 n8n →

Elastic Cloud Serverless expands to 18 regions with an AWS infra upgrade (up to 35% lower search latency, 26% higher ingest throughput).

Elastic 9.2: Agent Builder introduced, DiskBBQ for large-scale vector search, log Streams

Agent Builder ships as a new capability letting developers build AI agents against Elasticsearch data. DiskBBQ serves quantized vector clusters straight from disk (sub-20ms latency, ~100MB memory) for large-scale vector search. Streams auto-parses and compresses unstructured logs to surface incident root causes.
