Hi all,

Does anyone know if Search Guard security plugin is compatible with Elasticsearch 1.7.5? I Haven't been able to find the answer in the documentation.

Thank you for your time,  
Joey

You may have better luck asking on the search guard forums. As a reminder, the official Elastic security plugin is Shield (the functionality of which has been rolled into X-Pack in newer versions). Also, 1.7.5 is a rather old release: you should likely look into updating regardless.

No, the 1.x line of [Search Guard](https://floragunn.com/) has been discontinued with the arrival of Search Guard 2.x last year. The code for 1.x can still be found in our [attic repository](https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard-attic), but the code is unmaintained and must not be used in production. Please upgrade to a newer, supported version of Elasticsearch/Search Guard. Supported versions are listed in our [version matrix](https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard/wiki).
