Logstash will not start with bundled JDK on aarch64 Linux/MacOs and x86_64 Windows
Applies to: {{ls}} 9.3.0
::::{dropdown} Details
All {{ls}} 9.3.0 artifacts were bundled with Linux x86_64 JDK due to a bug in artifact generation. Starting {{ls}} on Windows or aarch64 Linux/MacOS with 9.3.0 artifacts results in an fatal error as the bundled JDK is not compatible with those platforms.
This issue affects:
This issue does NOT affect:
For this reason the download links to the affected artifacts have been removed from the {{ls}} Download page for version 9.3.0.
As a workaround, users can provide an external and compatible JDK via the LS_JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Logstash will not start if a Persistent Queue has been defined with a size greater than 2 GiB
Applies to: {{ls}} 9.2.0
::::{dropdown} Details
Attempts to start Logstash when queue.max_bytes has been set to 2147483648 bytes or greater will fail. There is currently no workaround for this issue other than downgrading to a previous version of Logstash. Therefore we recommend that any Logstash users with a Persistent Queue greater than size not upgrade to Logstash 9.2.0.
Details of the bug are included in this PR fixing the issue, which will be included in a future version of Logstash. ::::
BufferedTokenizer may silently drop data when oversize input has no delimiters
Applies to: {{ls}} 9.2.0
::::{dropdown} Details
The decode_size_limit_bytes setting for {{ls}} plugins that use the json_lines codec is behaving differently than expected. When the size limit exceeds the specified limit without a separator in the data, the size grows beyond the limit.
This occurs because size validation happens after the token is fully accumulated, which does not occur if no trailing separator is detected.
{{ls}} plugins that use the json_lines codec include input-stdin input-http, input-tcp integration-logstash and input-elastic_serverless_forwarder.
Best practice: Do not set decode_size_limit_bytes manually.
Details for this issue and the details for future behavior are being tracked in #18321 ::::
