After that point, you can still manually download and install updated prebuilt rules, but you must upgrade to the latest {elastic-sec} version to receive automatic updates.

 * If an indicator match rule's default threat indicator path was not defined before the upgrade, it will default to `threatintel.indicator` after the upgrade. This allows the rule to continue using indicator data ingested by {filebeat} version 7.x. If a custom value was defined before the upgrade, the value will not change.
 * If an existing indicator match rule was configured to use threat indicator indices generated from {filebeat} version 7.x, updating the default threat indicator path to `threat.indicator` after you upgrade to {stack} version 8.0 and {agent} or {filebeat} version 8.0 configures the rule to use threat indicator indices generated by those later versions.
 * You must create separate rules to query threat intelligence indices created by {filebeat} version 7.x and version 8.0 because each version requires a different default threat indicator path value. Review the recommendations for <<query-alert-indices, querying alert indices>>.
