7.17.0 awk entrypoint broken

[blakerouse]

With the switch from CentOS to Ubuntu the https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/main/dev-tools/packaging/templates/docker/docker-entrypoint.tmpl#L13 does not work as expected. This is because that Ubuntu uses mawk instead of gawk. This change results in the output of the awk to be incorrect.

For confirmed bugs, please report:

• Version: 7.17.0
• Operating System: Docker Container
• Discuss Forum URL:
• Steps to Reproduce:

docker run -it docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat setup does not actually run setup

Can we confirm this is actually fixed in heartbeat 7.17.1?

I can see it has been merged prior to the 7.17.1 release and it is on the release notes but the issue still exists as discussed on discuss:

It looks like the 7.17.1 build candidate was generated the day before this fix was merged and that is what we released. The fix went in before the 7.17.1 release but we didn't create a new build candidate. This would be fixed in 7.17.2.

Fix in the 7.17 branch: 4d9042d

Ah ok. Must have missed that while using looking at the repo on my mobile last night.

Hopefully the patch release will drop soon as we are in a position we can't upgrade to 8.x at the moment.
