The cluster license (Platinum) expires on 2026-03-15, with 14 days remaining. The expiry date is within the configured warning threshold.
AutoOps shows different recommendations depending on how their conditions match your deployment or cluster.
License renewal
Condition: Shown when this insight is active.
Install a renewed license using Kibana License Management or the Elasticsearch update license API (PUT /_license). The update takes effect without restarting nodes. If you do not have a license file, contact Elastic to renew or obtain a replacement. See the Manage your license guide for step-by-step instructions.
Gold, Platinum, Enterprise, and trial licenses have a fixed expiry date. When a license expires, Elasticsearch reverts to Basic, and paid features (security, monitoring, alerting, and others) stop working until a valid license is installed.
Elasticsearch logs warnings starting 30 days before expiry. This insight surfaces the same signal in AutoOps for Cloud Connected self-managed clusters, giving you a consolidated view alongside your other cluster health signals.
