I'd say that at least you should consider upgrading once a year or something like this. But if you can upgrade more frequently that could be a good thing to always benefit from the latest improvements. If you are a lucky user of [Elastic Cloud Enterprise](https://www.elastic.co/products/ece) or [Elasticsearch Service](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service), then it's "just" a few click in the interface to upgrade elasticsearch and Kibana. ---
