Hi,
We are currently running a single instance of version 5.1.2 of elastic stack (ES, LS, Kibana, filebeat, metricbeat).
Is it save to upgrade directly 5.1.2 to 6.0.0? Or do I need to go via 5.latest?
Migrating kibana index manually (with the commands found in documentation is no problem). Don't know, what the upgrade help in 5.latest helps in additional).
Thanks, Andreas
