WARNING: Version 5.6 of Kibana has passed its EOL date.
This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be removed. If you are running this version, we strongly advise you to upgrade. For the latest information, see the current release documentation.
Preparing Kibana index for 6.0edit
The following will make transformations to your Kibana index. It is recommended you backup your Kibana index prior to running any of the following commands.
In order to migrate to Kibana 6, your Kibana index needs to be reindexed. This will make transformations to the data model, removing types which are being removed in Elasticsearch.
A UI is available in X-Pack 5.6 to assist with the migration. The following is provided should you be required to run the migration manually. The commands assume you’re using the default .kibana index, without an alias. If kibana.index is set to something different in your kibana.yml, or you’re using an alias, you will need to modify the commands.
To perform this migration without downtime, you will need to be running Kibana 5.6. This is the only version which supports both of the index types.
-
Set
.kibanaindex to read-only:PUT .kibana/_settings { "index.blocks.write": true } -
Create
.kibana-6index
When running versions other than 5.6, you will need to remove index.format and index.mapping.single_type from the settings in the following step.
PUT .kibana-6
