This decreases network data usage by an average of 70-80%, in exchange for 20-25% increased CPU use and ~10% increased ingestion time. The previous default can be restored by setting the flag `compression_level: 0` under `output.elasticsearch`. {pull}36681[36681] - The `elastic-agent-autodiscover` library is updated to version 0.6.4, disabling metadata for deployment and cronjob. Pods that will be created from deployments or cronjobs will not have the extra metadata field for `kubernetes.deployment` or `kubernetes.cronjob`, respectively. {pull}36879[36879]
