[[features-8.18.8]]
==== New features
* Adds an {elastic-defend} option to remediate orphaned state by attempting to start Elastic Agent service.

[[enhancements-8.18.8]]
==== Enhancements
* Increases the throughput of {elastic-defend} Logstash connections by increasing the maximum size it can upload at once.

[[bug-fixes-8.18.8]]
==== Fixes
* Removes `null` in confirmation dialog when bulk editing index patterns for rules ({kibana-pull}236572[#236572]).
* Fixes the URL passed to detection rule actions via the `{{context.results_link}}` placeholder ({kibana-pull}236067[#236067]).
* Adds support in {elastic-defend} for installing eBPF probes on Linux endpoints when taskstats is compiled out of the kernel.
* Fixes a bug in {elastic-defend} where Linux network events could have source and destination bytes swapped.
* Removes `.process.thread.capabilities.permitted` and `.process.thread.capabilities.effective` from Linux network events in {elastic-defend}.
* Fixes a bug in {elastic-defend} where host isolation could auto-release incorrectly. Host isolation now only releases when {elastic-endpoint} becomes orphaned. Intermittent {elastic-agent} connectivity changes no longer alter the host isolation state.
* Improves the reliability of local {elastic-defend} administrative shell commands. In rare cases, a command could fail to execute due to issue with interprocess communication.
* Fixes an issue where {elastic-defend} would incorrectly calculate throughput capacity when sending documents to output. This may have limited event throughput on extremely busy endpoints.
* Fixes an issue in {elastic-defend} installation logging where only the first character of install paths (usually 'C') would be logged.
