Hi  
I have a cluster with version 7.6.2  
I want to upgrade the cluster with rpm package and just want to know, If I upgrade Elasticsearch and Kibana to 7.15.2 , after upgrading, all of my watcher work as same as the current version or not?  
Should I concern about something after the upgrading?

Thank you

Watcher is still fully supported in 7.15.2. And as far as I know There are no breaking changes but you should read the release notes.

And of course best practice to test your release in a dev environment before upgrading production
