Self-managed
Generally available
If you've installed the Elastic Stack on your own self-managed infrastructure, once you're prepared to upgrade, you'll need to upgrade each of your Elastic components individually.
It's important that you upgrade your components in this order:
If you're using Logstash and the logstash-filter-elastic_integration plugin to extend Elastic integrations, upgrade Logstash (or the logstash-filter-elastic_integration plugin specifically) before you upgrade Kibana.
The Elasticsearch → Logstash → Kibana installation order for this specific plugin ensures the best experience with Elastic Agent-managed pipelines, and embeds functionality from a version of Elasticsearch Ingest Node that is compatible with the plugin version (major.minor).
