Today, On hydrapwk post hydrapwk dropped new snapshot and changes.

Before we start let’s talk about this Update this update Why use the tail number T1? Yeah, because it’s a snapshot of a previous release.

If you remember in our major release yesterday we included elasticsearch into the HydraPWK repo, however we had some issues regarding LICENSE (We have announced it in the official HydraPWK issues and channels), And we have pulled the elasticsearch package from hydrapwk, And instead, we included OpenSearch into the HydraPWK repo.

So basically elasticsearch will no longer be in HydraPWK.

We apologize for that, it was our (my) fault for not checking it more deeply.

and we want to say something, we saw some posts and reviews of hydrapwk and we really respect that and are very happy, but we also don’t want people to exaggerate about HydraPWK, we are really happy with people who want to review HydraPWK it means a lot to us, but please don’t compare HydraPWK or make something that is Clickbait for example, HydraPWK is better than this and that we don’t want that,,, we want honesty, that’s what’s best for this project … and I would be happier if there was someone who criticized this project.

Affected packages.

So yeah, because we replaced elasticsearch with OpenSearch and of course the tools that use that Backend.

Arkime, now arkime in hydrapwk has used OpenSearch as its backend as default.

…Let’s jump to What's New?

Note: All packages with <packages_name>_<packages_version>_<architecture>+hydrapwk is build by HydraPWK

What’s new?

• Xfce terminal colorscheme - Update colorscheme hydrapwk-purplizer for Xfce terminal.
• OpenSearch - is an open-source, enterprise-grade search and observability suite that brings order to unstructured data at scale.
• OpenSearch dashboard - data visualization tool designed to work with OpenSearch.

Please check our tools documentation for configuration

Purplizer colorscheme

In this update we updated the hydrapwk-purplizer colorscheme (Xfce terminal), Maybe you will notice that if there is an error message it will not be visible (It blends in with the terminal background), So yeah once again it was our(my) fault, so we have updated it actually we don’t need to announce this, but why not if you can announce it?.

OpenSearch as backend

As we(I) said before we included OpenSearch into the HydraPWK repository (note that it is not an official build of OpenSearch, In other words it is a build of HydraPWK).

OpenSearch Dashboards

Great news! We added OpenSearch Dashboards to HydraPWK, as the OpenSearch binary in the HydraPWK repository is not the official OpenSearch binary (Built by HydraPWK).
