The upgrading of the Elastic Core on premise environment (Kibana, Logstash and Elastic Cluster) from 7.17.28 to 8.17, any recommendations?

The upgrading of the Elastic Core on premise environment (Kibana, Logstash and Elastic Cluster with 3 nodes) from 7.17.28 to 8.17, any recommendations?

I would recommend going to 8.18 instead of 8.17. The official upgrade documentation contains a lot of guidance and recommendations. Is there anything missing there?

Many thanks Christian for your recommendation, I`m wondering the Upgrade Assistant tells me that I should go up to 8.0.1, is it advisable to go up to 8.18 directly from 7.17.28? I must consider something in particular with the security layer, with the current digital certificates, I will need to regenerate these certificates for version 8.*

Once you have addressed all potential issue identified by the migration assistant in 7.17 I believe you should go directly to 8.18. When I have upgraded I have never gone via 8.0 (apart from when that was the latest version).

Great Christian ..I will work on issues identified, thanks
