== Upgrading Kibana
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your existing Kibana version is generally compatible with the next minor
|
||
|
version release of Elasticsearch. This means you should upgrade your
|
||
|
Elasticsearch cluster(s) before or at the same time as Kibana. We cannot
|
||
|
guarantee compatibility between major version releases so in those cases both
|
||
|
Elasticsearch and Kibana must be upgraded together.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To upgrade Kibana:
|
||
|
|
||
|
. Create a {es-ref}modules-snapshots.html[snapshot]
|
||
|
of the existing `.kibana` index.
|
||
|
. Back up the `kibana.yml` configuration file.
|
||
|
. Take note of the Kibana plugins that are installed:
|
||
|
* `bin/kibana plugin --list` on 4.x versions of Kibana.
|
||
|
* `bin/kibana-plugin list` on 5.x versions of Kibana.
|
||
|
. To upgrade from an Archive File:
|
||
|
.. Extract the new version of Kibana into a different directory. See steps below.
|
||
|
.. Migrate any custom configuration from your old kibana.yml to your new one
|
||
|
.. Follow other steps below to complete the new installation.
|
||
|
.. Once the new version is fully configured and working with required plugins, remove the previous version
|
||
|
of Kibana
|
||
|
. To upgrade using a Linux Package Manager:
|
||
|
.. Uninstall the existing Kibana package: `apt-get remove kibana` or `yum remove kibana`
|
||
|
.. Install the new Kibana package. There have been some installer issues between various version of
|
||
|
Kibana so the uninstall and install process is safer than an upgrade.
