== Upgrading Kibana
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
===========================================
|
|
Before upgrading Kibana:
|
|
|
|
* Consult the <<breaking-changes,breaking changes>> docs.
|
|
* Test upgrades in a dev environment before upgrading your production servers.
|
|
* Backup your data using the Elasticsearch
|
|
{es-ref}modules-snapshots.html[snapshots] feature.
|
|
You **cannot roll back** to an earlier version unless you have a backup of
|
|
your data.
|
|
* If you are using custom plugins, check that a compatible version is
|
|
available.
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
Depending on which version of Kibana you're upgrading from, the upgrade process
|
|
will vary. Please consult the following table to determine which process you
|
|
should follow:
|
|
|
|
[cols="1<m,1<m,3",options="header",]
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
|Upgrade From |Upgrade To |Supported Upgrade Type
|
|
|3.x |5.x |<<upgrade-new-install,New installation>>
|
|
|4.0 or 4.1 |5.x |<<upgrade-standard-reindex,Standard upgrade & reindex>>
|
|
|4.x >= 4.2 |5.x |<<upgrade-standard,Standard upgrade>>
|
|
|5.0.0 pre GA |5.x |<<upgrade-standard-reindex,Standard upgrade & reindex>>
|
|
|5.x |5.y |<<upgrade-standard,Standard upgrade>> (where `y > x`)
|
|

|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
===========================================
|
|
Reindex is required if you ever upgraded from Kibana 4.1 or 4.0
|
|
|
|
Even if you're running Kibana version 4.2 or higher, if you have previously
|
|
upgraded from Kibana 4.0 or 4.1, you will need to do a
|
|
<<upgrade-standard-reindex,Standard upgrade & reindex>> when upgrading to 5.x.
|
|
|
|
This is due to the Elasticsearch requirement that any index that was initially
|
|
created before Elasticsearch 2.0 must be reindexed even if it's currently
|
|
working in Elasticsearch 2.x.
|
|
|
|
You only need to do this once when moving to 5.x.
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards created in Kibana 4.x are
|
|
generally compatible with 5.x.
