APM breaking changes

edit

This list summarizes the most important breaking changes in APM. For the complete list, go to APM Server 7.0 breaking changes.

APM Server
  • Introduced dedicated apm-server.ilm.setup.* flags. This means you can now customize ILM behavior from within the APM Server configuration. As a side effect, setup.template.* settings will be ignored for ILM related templates per event type. See set up ILM for more information.
  • By default, ILM policies will not longer be versioned. All event types will switch to the new default policy: rollover after 30 days or when reaching a size 50gb. See default policy for more information.
APM
  • To make use of all the new features introduced in 7.5, you must ensure you are using version 7.5+ of APM Server and version 7.5+ of Kibana.
