References Elastic Stack versions 8.2, 8.3.0, and 8.3.1 in a known-issue
section ("Rules stop running after upgrade"). All three versions are past
end-of-life; the current supported 8.x minor is 8.19 per the Elastic
Version Maintenance and Support Policy
(https://www.elastic.co/support/eol). The suggested fix on line 265
("upgrade to 8.3.2 or later") is also EOL.
suggested_fix: |
This known-issue entry only applies to users upgrading between versions
that are all now EOL (8.2 → 8.3.0/8.3.1). Consider removing the section
entirely or archiving it in a historical changelog. If retained, update
the wording to indicate it applies only to upgrades from these old
(now-unsupported) releases.

"{{kib}} versions 7.10 and above have a Test connector UI." — 7.x is
past end-of-life; the minimum supported version is now 8.19 (or 9.x).
All currently supported Kibana versions already include this feature, so
the conditional adds no value and is misleading to readers.
Source: https://www.elastic.co/support/eol
suggested_fix: |
Remove the version qualifier. Rewrite as: "Kibana includes a Test
connector UI" (or similar), since every supported version has this
feature.

"{{kib}} versions 7.11 and above include improved Webhook error messages,
better overall debug logging..." — 7.x is past end-of-life. All currently
supported Kibana versions already include these improvements, making the
conditional obsolete.
Source: https://www.elastic.co/support/eol
suggested_fix: |
Remove the version qualifier. Rewrite as a plain statement of the
available debugging capabilities, without the "versions 7.11 and above"
preamble.

Open explore-analyze/alerting/alerts/alerting-common-issues.md around line 257 and alerting-troubleshooting.md around lines 30–31, then review each reported version qualifier. Done means the obsolete mentions are removed or moved to upgrade documentation, and the affected text no longer presents unsupported versions as current guidance.
