Hello,

I am not sure how searchguard works.

These are upgrade docs: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/upgrading-elastic-stack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/current/upgrading-elastic-stack.html)

We also need to generate passwords: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-passwords.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-passwords.html)

Please note searchguard is a commercial independent plugin and we don't support it.

Thanks,  
Bhavya
