== Upgrade Assistant
|
|
|
|
The Upgrade Assistant helps you prepare for your upgrade
|
|
to the next major version of the Elastic Stack.
|
|
To access the assistant, open the main menu and go to *Stack Management > Upgrade Assistant*.
|
|
|
|
The assistant identifies deprecated settings in your configuration,
|
|
enables you to see if you are using deprecated features,
|
|
and guides you through the process of resolving issues.
|
|
|
|
If you have indices that were created prior to 7.0,
|
|
you can use the assistant to reindex them so they can be accessed from 8.0.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: To see the most up-to-date deprecation information before
|
|
upgrading to 8.0, upgrade to the latest 7.n release.
