# Elastic Defend advanced settings
When configuring an Elastic Defend integration policy, access the [**Advanced settings** section](/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-an-integration-policy-for-elastic-defend#adv-policy-settings) to fine-tune how the integration behaves in your environment. Use these settings to customize detection, performance, and security options based on your specific requirements.
<important>
  Advanced settings are not recommended for most users. Use them only if you have specific configuration or security requirements. If configured incorrectly, these settings can cause unpredictable behavior.
</important>

<definitions>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.agent.connection_delay">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *How long to wait for agent connectivity before sending first policy reply, in seconds. Default: `60`.*
    Elastic Endpoint applies a cached configuration from disk immediately on start up. However, before generating a policy response document, Elastic Endpoint waits to first establish a connection to Elastic Agent to see if there are configuration updates. Use this setting to specify how long that delay should be. Regardless of this setting, Elastic Endpoint will periodically attempt to (re)connect to Elastic Agent if it isn't connected.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[mac,windows].advanced.alerts.cloud_lookup">
    Added in 7.12.0.
    *Check a cloud service for known false positives before generating malware alerts. Default: `true`.*
    Before blocking or alerting on malware files, Elastic Endpoint reaches out to an Elastic cloud service ([https://cloud.security.elastic.co](https://cloud.security.elastic.co)) to see if the alert is a known false positive. Use this setting to disable this feature.
    <note>
      Disabling cloud lookup for alerts may result in higher false positive rates.
    </note>
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.alerts.hash.md5">
    Added in 8.16.0.
    *Include MD5 hashes in alerts. Even if set to false, MD5 hashes will still be included if alert exceptions, trusted apps, or blocklisting require them. Default: <=8.17: true, >=8.18: false.*
    Elastic Endpoint doesn't generate MD5 hashes in alerts unless alert exceptions, trusted apps, or blocklisting requires them, in which case this setting is ignored. This setting was added in 8.16 to allow users to opt out of MD5 hashing; starting with 8.18, users are opted out by default. Prior to 8.16, MD5 hashes were always included.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.alerts.hash.sha1">
    Added in 8.16.0.
    *Include SHA-1 hashes in alerts. Even if set to `false`, SHA-1 hashes will still be included if alert exceptions, trusted apps, or blocklisting require them. Default: <=8.17: true, >=8.18: `false`.*
    Elastic Endpoint doesn't generate SHA-1 hashes in alerts unless alert exceptions, trusted apps, or blocklisting requires them, in which case this setting is ignored. This setting was added in 8.16 to allow users to opt out of SHA-1 hashing; starting with 8.18, users are opted out by default. Prior to 8.16, SHA-1 hashes were always included.
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.alerts.rollback.self_healing.enabled">
    Added in 8.4.0.
    *Enable self-healing by erasing attack artifacts when prevention alerts are triggered. Warning: data loss can occur. Default: `false`.*
    When a prevention alert is generated, Elastic Endpoint can [roll back](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-self-healing-rollback-for-windows-endpoints) recent filesystem changes likely associated with the attack. Use this setting to enable the self-healing rollback feature.
    <warning>
      This feature can cause permanent data loss.
    </warning>
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.alerts.rollback.self_healing.process_enabled">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Enable automatic removal of malware processes when a related prevention alert fires, including processes which were not directly involved in the alert. Requires `rollback.self_healing.enabled` to also be enabled. Default: `true`.*
    As an extension to the base-level self-healing rollback feature, Elastic Endpoint can terminate recently spawned processes when an attack occurs. Use this setting to enable this feature.
    <warning>
      This feature can cause permanent data loss.
    </warning>
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.alerts.rollback.self_healing.registry_enabled">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Enable self-healing of registry based malware artifacts when prevention alerts are triggered. Requires `rollback.self_healing.enabled` to also be enabled. Default: `true`.*
    As an extension to the base-level self-healing rollback feature, Elastic Endpoint can roll back recent registry changes when an attack occurs. Use this setting to enable this feature.
    <warning>
      This feature can cause permanent data loss.
    </warning>
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.alerts.sample_collection">
    Added in 8.13.0.
    *Allow Elastic to collect samples of unknown malware files. Default: `true`.*
    To improve the efficacy of malware and reputation protections, Elastic collects samples of unknown malware files. Use this setting to disable the sample collection.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.allow_cloud_features">
    Added in 8.18.0.
    *Explicitly define which cloud services are permitted. Valid services are `sample-collection`, `reputation-lookup`, `malware-lookup`, `artifacts-update`, `staged-artifacts-rollout`. If any comma-separated values are provided, all other services are disabled. To disallow all, use the keyword `none`. Warning: this may reduce protection efficacy and increase false positive rates. Default: all services are permitted.*
    Elastic Endpoint has various features that require use of cloud services. Each of those features has an individual advanced setting that allows users to disable it. This setting provides an alternative way to disable features that need cloud services in a way that inherently disables all future cloud service features by default.
    <warning>
      Disabling cloud services may reduce protection efficacy and increase false positive rates.
    </warning>
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.base_url">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Modify the base URL from which to download protection artifact updates. Default: `https://artifacts.security.elastic.co`.*
    Change this setting when [configuring air-gapped environments](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-offline-endpoints-air-gapped-environments) to receive protection updates.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.ca_cert">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Provide an additional PEM-encoded certificate to validate the protection artifact update SSL/TLS server. Default: none.*
    This allows specification of an additional PEM-encoded certificate for verification of the SSL/TLS server that is hosting global protection artifacts updates.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.channel">
    Added in 8.18.0.
    *Modify the release channel for protection artifact updates. The `default` is staged rollout, `rapid` receives candidate artifacts as soon as available, and `stable` only receives artifact updates after staged rollout has finished. Default: `default`.*
    Global protection artifact updates are publicly released in stages to ensure stability across the Elastic Defend user base. Use this setting to opt specific endpoints in (such as test or lab machines) or out (such as mission-critical systems) of the staged rollout process.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.interval">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Specify the period between protection artifact update attempts, in seconds. Default: `3600`.*
    By default Elastic Endpoint checks for protection artifact updates every hour. Use this setting to modify this interval.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.manifest_relative_url">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Modify the relative URL from which to download protection artifact manifests. Default: `/downloads/endpoint/manifest/artifacts-<version>.zip`.*
    Specifies the relative path appended to the base URL (`[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.base_url`) to form the full URL for downloading protection artifact updates. When configuring protection artifact updates in [air-gapped environments](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-offline-endpoints-air-gapped-environments), this setting typically doesn't need to be modified. If you do override it, Elastic Endpoint will use the exact path you provide, without replacing `<version>` with the current version number.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.proxy_disable">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Disable the use of a proxy when downloading protection artifact updates. Default: `false`.*
    This allows you to disable the use of a proxy even if one is provided by other configuration.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.proxy_url">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Override all other proxy settings for use when downloading protection artifact updates. Default: none.*
    Use this setting to override all other configuration that defines the proxy to be used when downloading global protection artifacts.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.global.public_key">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Override the PEM-encoded public key used to verify the protection artifact manifest signature. Default: none.*
    Specifies the public key used to verify the signature of global protection artifacts (not the SSL connection to the server that hosts them). It is not needed for air-gapped environments that re-host artifacts.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.user.ca_cert">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Provide an additional PEM-encoded certificate for Fleet Server SSL/TLS verification. Default: none.*
    Specifies the certificate used to verify the SSL/TLS connection to the Fleet Server. We typically recommend configuring this at the Fleet level, so it applies consistently across Elastic Agent and all integrations, rather than setting it specifically for Elastic Endpoint.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.user.proxy_disable">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Disable the use of a proxy when downloading user artifact updates. Default: `false`.*
    This allows you to disable the use of a proxy for reaching Fleet Server even if one is provided by other configuration.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.artifacts.user.proxy_url">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Override all other proxy settings for use when downloading user artifact updates from Fleet Server. Default: none.*
    Use this setting to configure a proxy server when communicating with the Fleet Server. We typically recommend [configuring proxy settings at the Elastic Agent level](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/reference/fleet/fleet-agent-proxy-support) to ensure consistent and centralized proxy handling.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.capture_command_line">
    Added in 8.14.0.
    *Include the command line as part of the collected process information for all event types. Default: `false`.*
    By default, Elastic Endpoint excludes command-line arguments from most `process` fieldsets to help reduce data volume. Use this setting to include them—for example, to allow Elastic Endpoint alerts or rule exceptions to be based on command-line content.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac].advanced.capture_env_vars">
    Added in 8.6.0 (Linux), 8.7.0 (macOS).
    *Provide a comma-separated list of up to five environment variables to capture in process create events. Default: none.*
    Use this setting to include a limited number of environment variables in process `create` events.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[mac,windows].advanced.device_control.filter_images">
    Added in 9.2.0.
    *Filter out file  backed images and CD-ROM volumes from consideration by device control. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.diagnostic.enabled">
    Added in 7.11.0 (Windows), 7.12.0 (macOS and Linux).
    *Enable diagnostic features. Default: `true`.*
    Use this setting to disable diagnostic mode, which tests new protections and rules to ensure low false positive rates upon production release. The results of this testing are only collected if telemetry is enabled.
    <note>
      We recommend keeping diagnostic mode enabled to help improve product quality and ensure new protections perform effectively in your environment before they’re released.
    </note>
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.diagnostic.rollback_telemetry_enabled">
    Added in 8.1.0.
    *Enable diagnostic self-healing features without affecting other diagnostic features. Default: `true`.*
    Use this setting to disable the diagnostic (testing) self-healing features without affecting other diagnostic functionalities.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.document_enrichment.fields">
    Added in 8.11.0.
    *Provide a comma-delimited set of key=value pairs of values to add into all documents. Each key must begin with `Custom`. An example is `Custom.key=value1,Custom.key2=value2`. Default: none.*
    Use this setting to add custom key/value pairs into all Elastic Endpoint documents. It works similarly to the [**Custom fields** Elastic Agent policy configuration](/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/reference/fleet/agent-policy#add-custom-fields), which Elastic Endpoint doesn't support.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.elasticsearch.delay">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Specify the delay between sending documents to Elasticsearch, in seconds. Default: `120`.*
    To improve compression, Elastic Endpoint pushes unsent documents to Elasticsearch at periodic intervals, rather than immediately after each new event is generated. Use this setting to modify that interval. Regardless of this setting, Elastic Endpoint will always flush all event data immediately when an alert is generated.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.elasticsearch.tls.ca_cert">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Provide an additional PEM-encoded certificate for Elasticsearch certificate authority. Default: none.*
    Use this setting to configure an additional root certificate for validating Elastic Endpoint's connection to Elasticsearch. We typically recommend configuring this at the Fleet level.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.elasticsearch.tls.verify_hostname">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Verify the hostname for the Elasticsearch SSL/TLS connection. Default: `true`.*
    Use this setting to disable TLS hostname verification for Elastic Endpoint's connection to Elasticsearch. We typically recommend configuring this at the [Fleet level](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/reference/fleet/secure-connections).
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.elasticsearch.tls.verify_peer">
    Added in 7.9.0.
    *Verify certificates for the Elasticsearch SSL/TLS connection. Default: `true`.*
    Use this setting to disable TLS peer verification for Elastic Endpoint's connection to Elasticsearch. We typically recommend configuring this at the [Fleet level](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/reference/fleet/secure-connections).
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.event_filter.default">
    Added in 8.3.0.
    *Download and use default event filter rules from Elastic. Default: `true`.*
    By default, Elastic Endpoint doesn't generate and stream events to Elasticsearch for system activity known to be noisy and of limited security value, based on dynamic rules Elastic maintains. Use this setting to disable that suppression.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.aggregate_network">
    Added in 8.18.0.
    *Reduce event volume by merging related network events into fewer aggregate events. Default: <=8.17: `false`, >=8.18: `true`.*
    Elastic Endpoint [merges rapid network connect and disconnect events](/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-data-volume-for-elastic-endpoint#merged-process-network) into a single event document. Use this setting to disable that behavior.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.aggregate_process">
    Added in 8.16.0.
    *Reduce event volume by merging related process events into fewer aggregate events. Default: <=8.17: `false`, >=8.18: `true`.*
    Elastic Endpoint [merges rapid process `create`/`fork`/`exec`/`end` events](/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-data-volume-for-elastic-endpoint#merged-process-network) into a single event document. Use this setting to disable that behavior. This setting was made available in 8.16; starting with 8.18, this behavior is enabled by default.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.ancestry_in_all_events">
    Added in 8.15.0.
    *Include ancestor process entity IDs in all event types; by default they are only included in alerts and process events. Default: `false`.*
    Prior to 8.15, Elastic Endpoint included `process.ancestry` in all event documents. This field helps render the event analyzer more quickly and is primarily needed for process events. In 8.15, this was changed to limit data volume.
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.api">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Enable ETW API events. `false` disables them even if they are needed by other features. Default: `true`.*
    Use this setting to disable API event collection, even if other Elastic Endpoint features require them.
    <warning>
      Disabling API event collection may break other Elastic Endpoint features.
    </warning>
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.api_disabled">
    Added in 8.11.0.
    *Provide a comma-separated list of API names to selectively disable. Default: none.*
    Use this setting to disable the collection of specific API events for performance or troubleshooting purposes. API names can be found at `process.Ext.api.name` with the corresponding API events.
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.api_verbose">
    Added in 8.11.0.
    *Send high-volume API events to Elasticsearch. Warning: event filtering is recommended if enabled. Default: `false`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.emit_in_events">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Include callstacks in regular events whenever possible. When disabled (`false`), they are only included in events that trigger behavioral protection rules. Warning: event filtering is recommended if enabled. Default: `false`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.exclude_hotpatch_extension_pages">
    Added in 8.15.2.
    *Exclude Windows 11 24H2 hotpatch extension pages, which resemble injected code, from callstack module stomp scanning. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.file">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Collect callstacks during file events. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.image_load">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Collect callstacks during image/library load events. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.include_network_images">
    Added in 8.9.0.
    *Parse executables and DLLs on network shares for callstack symbols. Disable this if Endpoint hangs because of a network file system. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.process">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Collect callstacks during process events. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.registry">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Collect callstacks during registry events. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.timeout_microseconds">
    Added in 8.12.0.
    *Alter the maximum runtime of inline callstack collection/enrichment, in microseconds. Default: `100000`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.callstacks.use_hardware">
    Added in 8.16.0.
    *Use hardware callstacks (e.g. Intel CET) if supported by the OS and CPU. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.check_debug_registers">
    Added in 8.11.0.
    *Check debug registers inline to detect the use of hardware breakpoints. Malware may use hardware breakpoints to forge benign-looking call stacks. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.deduplicate_network_events">
    Added in 8.15.0.
    *Deduplicate network events based on repeated Src-IP/Dst-IP/Dst-Port/PID tuple grouping. Default: <=8.14: `false`, >=8.15: `true`.*
    To limit data volume, Elastic Endpoint doesn't emit network events for [repeated connections](/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-data-volume-for-elastic-endpoint#network-event-deduplication) based on the Src-IP/Dst-IP/Dst-Port/PID tuple grouping. Use this setting to disable that suppression.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.deduplicate_network_events_below_bytes">
    Added in 8.15.0.
    *Specify a network event deduplication transfer threshold, in bytes. Events for connections exceeding the threshold will always be emitted. A value `0` disables this feature. Default: `1048576` (1MB).*
    Specify a transfer size threshold for events you want to deduplicate. Connections below the threshold are deduplicated, and connections above it are not deduplicated. This allows [network event deduplication](/elastic/docs-content/pull/4236/solutions/security/configure-elastic-defend/configure-data-volume-for-elastic-endpoint#network-event-deduplication) to be applied only to low data volume connections.
  </definition>
  <definition term="linux.advanced.events.disable_fd_kprobes">
    Added in 8.8.0.
    *Disable file descriptor tracking kprobes to reduce Endpoint processing at the expense of missing fchdir-based working directory changes. If eBPF is used for system monitoring, this option is ignored. If file events are enabled, this option is ineffective. Default is `false`.*
    Use this setting to reduce Elastic Endpoint's CPU usage when using kprobes instead of eBPF. Enabling it causes many file paths in events to appear as relative rather than absolute.
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.disable_image_load_suppression_cache">
    Added in 8.12.1.
    *Disable the cache system used to improve image (DLL) load performance. Only disable this if image load events are not being generated as expected. Default: `false`.*
    The image load suppression cache improves system performance by allowing Elastic Endpoint to inform its kernel driver about DLLs to avoid eventing upon as they are not of interest. This feature improves system responsiveness and reduces Elastic Endpoint CPU usage. Use this setting only for troubleshooting image load event issues.
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.disable_registry_write_suppression">
    Added in 8.12.1.
    *Ignore uninteresting registry events for performance. Only modify this to troubleshoot if registry events are not functioning as expected. Default: `false`.*
    Registry write suppression improves system performance by enabling Elastic Endpoint to inform its driver that certain types of registry operations are uninteresting. Once deemed uninteresting, the driver can quickly drop these events, improving system responsiveness and reducing Elastic Endpoint CPU usage. Use this setting only for troubleshooting if registry events are not functioning as expected.
  </definition>
  <definition term="linux.advanced.events.enable_caps">
    Added in 8.14.0.
    *Include Linux process capabilities in process events written to Elasticsearch. Capabilities must be enabled for some SIEM detection rules. Warning: enabling this will increase data volume. Default: <=8.13: `true`, >=8.14: `false`.*
    Use this setting to enable reporting of process capabilities on Linux. Elastic Endpoint began reporting these capabilities in 8.11.0, but this was disabled by default in 8.14.0 due to data volume concerns. This setting must be enabled for some SIEM detection rules, but all malicious behavior detection rules running within Elastic Defend work regardless of its status.
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.enforce_registry_filters">
    Added in 8.15.0.
    *Reduce data volume by filtering out registry events which are not relevant to behavioral protections. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.event_on_access.file_paths">
    Added in 8.15.0.
    *Provide a comma-separated list of additional wildcard patterns that will be monitored for read access. At most one match per pattern per process will be reported. If possible, drive letters will be converted to NT paths (e.g. `\Device\HarddiskVolume4`), but conversion will fail for per-user drives, such as network drives. Put only commas (no spaces) between entries. Wildcard matching is case-insensitive. Check Microsoft FsRtlIsNameInExpression documentation for wildcard matching rules. Default: none.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.event_on_access.registry_paths">
    Added in 8.15.0.
    *Provide a comma-separated list of registry paths that will be monitored for read access. These must be NT paths (for example, `\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\...`). At most one match per pattern per process will be reported. Only commas (no spaces) should be used between entries. Wildcard matching is case-insensitive. See Microsoft FsRtlIsNameInExpression documentation for wildcard matching rules.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.file.max_hash_size_mb">
    Added in 8.16.0.
    *Attempt to include `file.hash.sha256` in file events. Hashing is asynchronous, best-effort, and not guaranteed to succeed, especially on network drives. Warning: file hashing will increase Endpoint's CPU and I/O, and may adversely affect system responsiveness. Warning: Event processing will be delayed due to the time spent hashing, which will interfere with malicious behavior and ransomware protections and potentially allow threats to inflict additional damage. Set to `off` to disable this feature. Set to `0` to hash all files up to 1 GiB. Otherwise, this sets the maximum to-be-hashed file size in MiB. Default: `off`.*
    <note>
      Enabling file hashing may increase CPU and IO use, decrease system responsiveness, and interfere with malicious behavior and ransomware protections.
    </note>
  </definition>
  <definition term="windows.advanced.events.file.origin_info_collection">
    Added in 8.19.0.
    *Include `file.origin_url`, `file.origin_referrer_url`, and `file.Ext.windows.zone_identifier` in file events. These fields show the details of file's Mark of the Web. Default: `true`.*
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.hash.md5">
    Added in 8.16.0.
    *Include MD5 hashes in processes and libraries in events. Even if set to `false`, MD5 hashes will still be included if alert exceptions, trusted apps, or blocklisting require them. Default: <=8.17: `true`, >=8.18: `false`.*
    Elastic Endpoint doesn't generate MD5 hashes in events unless event filters or trusted apps require them, in which case this setting is ignored. This setting was added in 8.16 to allow users to opt out of MD5 hashing; starting with 8.18, users are opted out by default. Prior to 8.16, MD5 hashes were always included.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.hash.sha1">
    Added in 8.16.0.
    *Include SHA-1 hashes in processes and libraries in events. Even if set to `false`, SHA-1 hashes will still be included if alert exceptions, trusted apps, or blocklisting require them. Default: <=8.17: `true`, >=8.18: `false`.*
    Elastic Endpoint doesn't generate SHA-1 hashes in events unless event filters or trusted apps require them, in which case this setting is ignored. This setting was added in 8.16 to allow users to opt out of SHA-1 hashing; starting with 8.18, users are opted out by default. Prior to 8.16, SHA-1 hashes were always included.
  </definition>
  <definition term="[linux,mac,windows].advanced.events.hash.sha256">
    Added in 8.16.0.
