=== Standard Upgrade with Reindex
|
|
|
|
You must perform a reindex in Elasticsearch whenever you're upgrading Kibana
|
|
that has an existing `.kibana` index created prior to Elasticsearch 2.0.
|
|
|
|
This is the case if you're upgrading directly from Kibana 4.1 or 4.0 as well as
|
|
when your existing install of Kibana 4.2+ was previously upgraded from 4.1 or
|
|
4.0.
|
|
|
|
Reindexing is the process of creating a new index with updated syntax and
|
|
mappings directly from an existing index. While it is possible to do this
|
|
manually, we recommend using the Elasticsearch Migration Plugin as described
|
|
in the Elasticsearch
|
|
{ref}/reindex-upgrade.html#reindex-upgrade[Reindex to upgrade] guide.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The Elasticsearch Migration Plugin creates a versioned `.kibana` index
|
|
as well as an {ref}/indices-aliases.html[index alias] that points to it.
|
|
Kibana 5.0 supports this index alias, but if you want to run Kibana 4.x while
|
|
this Elastic stack upgrade is underway, you'll need to configure your Kibana
|
|
4.x install to point to the versioned index using the `kibana.index`
|
|
configuration in your `kibana.yml` file.
|
|
|
|
Once your reindex is complete, you can follow the
|
|
<<upgrade-standard, Standard Upgrade>> instructions.
