01

Migrate rules & dashboards, one entry point

Problem

Teams migrating a SIEM aren't just moving rules, they're moving dashboards too, and those had always meant two different tools with two different learning curves.

Product decision

One landing page on the Security launchpad with two cards, Migrate rules and Migrate dashboards, that both funnel into the same upload, translate, and review pattern.

Impact

Rules and dashboards migrate through one front door: 11,000+ rules translated since launch.

02

Guided upload with dependency detection

Problem

A rule export is rarely self-contained: macros, lookups, and reference sets live in separate files a team may not have exported yet.

Product decision

Automatic Migration detects macro, lookup, and mapping references automatically and prompts for them as optional steps, never blocking the migration if they're skipped.

Impact

Missing macros or lookups no longer stall a migration; they resolve automatically or get flagged in the results.

03

AI connector & prebuilt rule matching

Problem

Every translation spends real LLM tokens against a real connector, and matching to Elastic's own rules changes what a user ends up installing. Neither should be invisible.

Product decision

A single configuration moment before translating: pick the AI connector, and choose whether to match against Elastic's prebuilt library, on by default, since it uses fewer tokens.

Impact

87% of migrations ran on the default managed connector, and matched teams inherit rules Elastic keeps maintaining.

04

Five-state results table

Problem

Translation is never all-or-nothing. Treating every non-perfect result as a flat failure would send users down the wrong recovery path.

Product decision

Every rule lands in one of five states, installed, translated, partially translated, not translated, or failed, each with its own status, color, and next action in the table.

Impact

Partial success became a workable outcome with a clear next action, not a reason to start over.

05

Reprocess with a different connector

Problem

A failed or partial translation shouldn't cost a user the whole migration, uploads, macros, and lookups included, just to retry one rule.

Product decision

Select one or more untranslated rows and Reprocess reopens the same AI configuration modal, letting a user pick a different connector for just those rules.

Impact

A failed translation is one click from a second attempt with a different model, uploads intact.

06

Missing integrations, surfaced automatically

Problem

A perfectly translated rule is still useless if the data source it depends on was never connected in Elastic.

Product decision

After a migration completes, a Missing Integrations count links straight into Elastic's integrations browser, pre-filtered to what the translated rules actually need.

Impact

Coverage gaps surface before go live, pointing at the exact integrations to install, not after an alert never fires.
