== Upgrading {kib}

|
|
|

|
|
|
Depending on the {kib} version you're upgrading from, the upgrade process to 7.0
|
|
|
|
varies.

|
|
|
* Consult the <<breaking-changes,breaking changes>>.
|
|
|
|
* Before you upgrade production servers, test the upgrades in a dev environment.
|
|
|
|
* Backup your data with {es} {ref}/modules-snapshots.html[snapshots].
|
|
|
|
To roll back to an earlier version, you **must** have a backup of your data.
|
|
|
|
* If you are using custom plugins, check that a compatible version is
|
|
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
* Shut down all {kib} nodes. Running more than one {kib} version against the
|
|
|
|
same Elasticseach index is unsupported. If you upgrade while older {kib} nodes are
|
|
|
|
running, the upgrade can fail.

To identify the changes you need to make to upgrade, and to enable you to
|
|
|
|
perform an Elasticsearch rolling upgrade with no downtime, you must upgrade to
|
|
|
|
6.7 before you upgrade to 7.0.

|
=== Upgrading from 5.x or earlier
|
|
|
|
{es} can read indices created in the previous major version. Before you upgrade
|
|
|
|
to 7.0.0, you must reindex or delete any indices created in 5.x or earlier.
|
|
|
|
For more information, refer to
|

|
{stack-ref}/upgrading-elastic-stack.html#oss-stack-upgrade[Upgrading the Elastic Stack].

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When your reindex is complete, follow the <<upgrade-standard, Standard upgrade>>

The recommended path is to upgrade to 6.7 before upgrading to 7.0. This makes it
|
2019-10-14 21:42:29 +02:00
|
|
|
easier to identify the required changes, and enables you to use the Upgrade
|
|
|
|
Assistant to prepare for your upgrade to 7.0.

|
dashboards is supported.

==== "shard failed" error when viewing {beats} dashboards in {kib}
|
|
|
|
After upgrading to {es} 7.0, any indices created by {beats} 6.6 or older will not
|
|
|
|
work in {kib} dashboards until the `index.query.default_field` setting is added
|
|
|
|
to each index. Indices created in {beats} 6.7 or later are unaffected.
|
|
|
|
To add the setting to the index, you can use the 7.0
|
|
|
|
{kibana-ref}/upgrade-assistant.html[Upgrade Assistant], or
