The Kibana Upgrade Assistant API helps you prepare for the next major Elasticsearch release.

This is a Kibana REST API (not an Elasticsearch API) and requests must target your Kibana URL:

  • Self-managed URL pattern: https://localhost:5601
  • Elastic Cloud URL pattern: https://your-deployment.kb.us-east-1.aws.elastic.cloud:9243
Operations quick access
