*Details* +

In {agent} output the `host.name` field has been changed to lowercase to match Elastic Common Schema (ECS) guidelines. The agent name is also reported in lowercase (`AGENT-name` becomes `agent-name`).

*Impact* +
137+
After upgrading {agent} to version 8.9.0 or higher, any case-sensitive searches may result in false-positive alerts. For example, a case-sensitive search based on the upper-case `AGENT-name` could result in an alert such as `system.load.1 reported no data in the last 5m for AGENT-name`. After upgrading, you may need to manually clear alerts and adjust some searches to match the new `host.name` format.
