Hi all I have a question before upgrading elastic to 8.x Do i have to upgrade all logstash and filebeat node to version 8.x or it can be keep at version 7.17 Since there is a lot of logstash and filebeat node in my system so upgrading them will take a lot of time which i'm not sure i have. If i dont have to update then will the be any issue can be cause by logstash in the version 7.17 to elastic 8.x Thanks for your time ---

[Support Matrix | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility) is the definitive answer for anything around this topic. But yes, Elasticsearch 8.0 and 8.1 will support Logstash 7.17. ---
