Hello!

There's a new feature on version 6.5 that I would like to start using but wanted to do a little more research before updating.

What is the best way to upgrade from versions 6.3 to 6.5 on Kibana, Elastic Seach and Logstash?

Also, does filebeat need to be updated on the nodes or master?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

The best way is to read the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/upgrading-elastic-stack.html) first. Make sure to take note of any breaking changes between versions that may affect you.
