A few changes are planned to the manifest(s) format. This is to track these changes:

Requirements to constraints

We currently use requirements section. To align with the agent and other parts, it should be renamed to constraints. In line with this task, also the default dependencies in the packages should be udpated.

• Update Registry Add conditions as future replacement of requirements  #519

Directory names cleanup

Some of the directory names contained -, others _. This also had an effect on how the config options are called and what paths users have to define. To only have one way, it was decided to use _ everywhere and packages need to be adjusted.

The ingest pipeline config option should be moved under the new Elasticsearch object for consistency

• Add new option in registry Introduce elasticsearch.ingest_pipeline.name as config option #564
• Add support for the option in Kibana
