We have a older cluster running in ES version 2.6. Can I send the monitoring data of this cluster to a newer version ES cluster, that is running 6.2 and used as monitoring cluster?

If yes, does the dashboards and other work seamless?

Need info urgently.

Thanks for help.

Read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part.

Putting `(Urgent)` in the title is useless.  
And I don't think this is more urgent than a cluster which is down...

Anyway. No you can't do that.  
BTW Elasticsearch 2.6 does not exist. I supposed you meant 2.4.6?

Thanks David. It can be inferred from elasic compatibility article. Regardless, thought of checking as the monitoring data is getting stored in a indice.

BTW . .removed (URGENT) 🙂
