***We might ask you to move to newer versions of Amazon Linux as part of our support process.
‡ CentOS 6, RHEL 6, and Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 do not support the bundled JDK 15+ since 7.9.2 due to glibc incompatibilities.

Kibana

Auditbeat

Filebeat

Functionbeat

Heartbeat

Metricbeat

Packetbeat

Real Browser Based Synthetic Agent

Winlogbeat

* We might ask you to move to newer versions of Amazon Linux as part of our support process.
** Compatibility applies to the bundled CLI for deploying Functionbeat onto serverless frameworks.
*** The Real Browser Based Synthetic Agent is shipped as a Docker image.
Additionally, we provide Beats binaries but not support for OpenSUSE Leap 42, OpenSUSE 13.2, and Oracle Enterprise Linux 6/7 with RHEL Kernel only.
You may also self compile without support on Linux PPC/PPC64LE, Solaris/SmartOS, and FreeBSD.

Elastic Agent

Elastic Endpoint Security

Endgame Sensor

Elastic Cloud Enterprise

* ECE 2.6 and above are not actively certified on these platforms and are supported on a discretionary basis only
Supported Docker and Linux Kernel versions:
- ECE requires linux vendor LTS kernels, upstream or custom kernels are not supported. Please see the supported kernels from your OS provider.
- 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.

APM Server

* We might ask you to move to newer versions of Amazon Linux as part of our support process.

App Search

Starting with version 7.7.0, App Search is provided with the Enterprise Search package.

Enterprise Search

Elasticsearch and JVM

Java 9, Java 10, Java 12, and Java 13 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
** Elastic supports some OpenJDK-derived distributions: 1. builds by the IcedTea Project; 2. those produced by OS vendors in the “Product and Operating System” matrix which have passed the TCK tests; 3. Azul Zulu starting with Elasticsearch 6.6.0.
The Elasticsearch/JVM support information on this page applies to both server and client (e.g., client api) implementations.

Logstash and JVM

* Azul Zulu is supported starting Logstash 7.8.0.

Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes and Kubernetes Distro

Kibana Supported Browsers

Product Compatibility

Compatibility with Elasticsearch (5.x, 6.x, 7.x)

^ Elasticsearch output compatibility - Beats, Logstash, and Elastic Agent indexing data to Elasticsearch
* We recommend running the latest version of Beats, Logstash, Elastic Agent 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/what-is/open-x-pack.
*** APM Server 6.7 works with Elasticsearch 7.0, but data must be migrated using the Upgrade Assistant to be visible in Kibana 7.0.
**** App Search moved to Enterprise Search in 7.7.0 onwards.
***** ES-Hadoop must be equal to or greater than the Elasticsearch version being used.

Compatibility with Elasticsearch (2.x)

** Beats to Logstash has a separate compatibility chart

Compatibility with Logstash

* 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.
** Prior to version 7.4, Functionbeat is only compatible with Elasticsearch as an output destination. Logstash and other outputs are not supported. Starting with version 7.4, Functionbeat supports Elasticsearch and Logstash outputs.
