Upgrade Elastic on self-managed infrastructure

Upgrade Elastic on self-managed infrastructure

edit

When you are prepared to upgrade, you will need to upgrade each of your Elastic components individually.

  1. Consider closing machine learning jobs before you start the upgrade process. While machine learning jobs can continue to run during a rolling upgrade, it increases the overhead on the cluster during the upgrade process.

  2. Upgrade the components of your Elastic Stack in this order:

    1. Elasticsearch: upgrade instructions
    2. Kibana: upgrade instructions
    3. Logstash: upgrade instructions (See note below)
    4. Beats: upgrade instructions
    5. Elastic Agent: upgrade instructions
    6. APM agents upgrade instructions

If you are using Logstash and the logstash-filter-elastic_integration plugin to extend Elastic integrations, upgrade Logstash (or the logstash-filter-elastic_integration plugin specifically) before you upgrade Kibana.

The Elasticsearch-Logstash-Kibana installation order for this specific plugin ensures the best experience with Elastic Agent-managed pipelines, and embeds functionality from a version of Elasticsearch Ingest Node that is compatible with the plugin version (major.minor).
