Elasticsearch version 8.0.0-rc2
Also see Breaking changes in 8.0.
-
Do not upgrade production clusters to Elasticsearch 8.0.0-rc2. Elasticsearch 8.0.0-rc2 is
a pre-release of Elasticsearch 8.0 and is intended for testing purposes only.
Upgrades from pre-release builds are not supported and could result in errors or
data loss. If you upgrade from a released version, such as 7.16, to a
pre-release version for testing, discard the contents of the cluster when you are
done. Do not attempt to upgrade to the final 8.0 release.
-
If you installed Elasticsearch from an archive on an aarch64 platform like Linux ARM or macOS M1, the
elastic user password and Kibana enrollment token are not generated
automatically when starting your node for the first time.
After the node starts, generate the elastic password with the
bin/elasticsearch-reset-password tool:
bin/elasticsearch-reset-password -u elastic
Then, create an enrollment token for Kibana with the
bin/elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token tool:
bin/elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token -s kibana
