Documentation for scaling Kibana alerting, what configurations can change, what impacts they have, etc. Scaling Alerting relies heavily on scaling Task Manager, so these docs also document Task manager Health Monitoring and scaling.

|
== Supported platforms
|
|
|
|
Packages of Kibana are provided for and tested against Linux, Darwin, and
|
|
Windows. Since Kibana runs on Node.js, we include the necessary Node.js
|
|
binaries for these platforms. Running Kibana against a separately maintained
|
|
version of Node.js is not supported.
|

[[elasticsearch-version]]
|
|
== Elasticsearch version
|
|
|
|
Kibana should be configured to run against an Elasticsearch node of the same
|
|
version. This is the officially supported configuration.
|
|
|
|
Running different major version releases of Kibana and Elasticsearch (e.g.
|
|
Kibana 5.x and Elasticsearch 2.x) is not supported, nor is running a minor
|
|
version of Kibana that is newer than the version of Elasticsearch (e.g. Kibana
|
|
5.1 and Elasticsearch 5.0).
|
|
|
|
Running a minor version of Elasticsearch that is higher than Kibana will
|
|
generally work in order to facilitate an upgrade process where Elasticsearch
|
|
is upgraded first (e.g. Kibana 5.0 and Elasticsearch 5.1). In this
|
|
configuration, a warning will be logged on Kibana server startup, so it's only
|
|
meant to be temporary until Kibana is upgraded to the same version as
|
|
Elasticsearch.
|
|
|
|
Running different patch version releases of Kibana and Elasticsearch (e.g.
|
|
Kibana 5.0.0 and Elasticsearch 5.0.1) is generally supported, though we
|
|
encourage users to run the same versions of Kibana and Elasticsearch down to
|
|
the patch version.
