Auth The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability Generally available since 6.1 This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

Start a 30-day trial, which gives access to all subscription features.

Note

You are allowed to start a trial only if your cluster has not already activated a trial for the current major product version. For example, if you have already activated a trial for v8.0, you cannot start a new trial until v9.0. You can, however, request an extended trial at https://www.elastic.co/trialextension.

To check the status of your trial, use the get trial status API.
