By setting cache-control to must-revalidate, we indicate to the browser that it should send the if-none-match header with the last known etag value. If the etags match, the server responds with a 304 and no body, and if they don't the server responds with a 200 and a body along with a new etag. This ensures a cache is always invalidated when a bundle changes, like when Kibana is upgraded or a plugin is installed. We no longer send the last-modified header because we don't want the browser caching based on time. Doing so can be unpredictable since the browser may not agree with the server's definitions of DST, and the server time itself can be changed. |

Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.
Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.
Situation | Example Kibana version | Example ES version | Outcome |
---|---|---|---|
Versions are the same. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.2 | 💚 OK |
ES patch number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.5 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
ES minor number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 5.5.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
ES major number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 6.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
ES patch number is older. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
ES minor number is older. | 5.1.2 | 5.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
ES major number is older. | 5.1.2 | 4.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
