Supported Docker and Linux Kernel versions:
ECE 1.X requires Docker version 1.11. While it may work with other Docker versions, it is known to break with certain combinations of Docker and kernel version, and has not been thoroughly tested with any Docker version other than 1.11.
ECE 2.0 supports the following Docker and OS combinations:
- Ubuntu 16.04 with Docker 18.03 (or Docker 1.11).
- Ubuntu 14.04 with Docker 1.11.
- RHEL 7.x with Red Hat Docker 1.13 (or Docker 1.11).
- CentOS 7.x with Red Hat Docker 1.13 (or Docker 1.11).
ECE requires Linux kernel version 3.10 or higher.
ECE requires kernel memory accounting to be disabled for all memory cgroups. Disable it by passing `cgroup.memory=nokmem` to the kernel at boot time.
**Zip/tar.gz archives only. RPM installation is not supported on SLES 11.

** Java 9 and Java 10 are short term releases. We advise against using them unless you're prepared to handle the fast release cadence this imposes. See Oracle's schedule for JVM support at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

^ Elasticsearch output compatibility - Beats & Logstash indexing data to Elasticsearch
* We recommend running the latest version of Beats, Logstash, and ES-Hadoop; earlier versions will work with reduced functionality.
** Starting in version 6.3, X-Pack features are included in the default distributions of Elastic Stack. See https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/open

* Compatibility applies to the monitoring & management Elasticsearch cluster and any Elasticsearch clusters that metrics are routed through. This includes any cluster(s) referenced in the xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url and xpack.management.elasticsearch.url settings. It's highly recommended to run the same minor versions across Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Logstash for best monitoring & management functionality. For versions 6.2 and older, X-Pack must be installed on all products.

Supported Logstash Plugins

The plugins listed below are maintained and supported by Elastic. Plugin versions that are installable on an Elastic supported Logstash release are considered supported.

The full list of all plugins in the Logstash ecosystem can be found in the product documentation:

• Input plugins
• Codec plugins
• Filter plugins
• Output plugins

Tier 1 Plugins

Definition: These incorporate Logstash plugins that Elastic have published directly and plugins that Elastic has a high degree of experience with. Elastic will provide support to new Support Requests at point of entry for all Severity Levels (1 through 3) but retain the right to downgrade Support Requests to Severity 3 should the root cause be isolated to an external system, service, or library.

Input Plugins azure_event_hubs beats elasticsearch file generator heartbeat http http_poller jdbc kafka rabbitmq redis s3* stdin syslog tcp udp

Codec plugins avro cef es_bulk json json_lines line multiline plain rubydebug

Filter plugins csv date dissect dns drop elasticsearch fingerprint geoip grok jdbc_static jdbc_streaming json kv mutate ruby sleep split syslog_pri translate truncate urldecode useragent uuid xml

Output plugins elasticsearch email file http kafka rabbitmq redis s3* stdout tcp udp

* Only for AWS S3. S3 compatible storage solutions are not supported.

Tier 2 Plugins

Definition: These incorporate Logstash plugins where Elastic has a more limited focus, such that Elastic's ability to effect a solution could be impaired. Elastic will provide support under Severity 3 only.

Input Plugins couchdb_changes gelf graphite sqs twitter
