Upgrading to 5.0 Logstash - large number of beats to upgrade

djohnson · October 27, 2016, 5:31pm

I'm planning the upgrade of my production system to 5.0. If I upgrade logstash before I upgrade my *beats, will logstash continue to receive logs as I upgrade each beat?

Yes.
But you need to make sure you apply the Beats 5.X templates before

Thanks, so just so I'm clear upgrade beats and then logstash?

It doesn't really matter!

So I'm not sure I understand, no matter what I upgrade first logs will still ship? Or is Beats 1.3 not compatible with Logstash 5.0?

So decided to create a test environment and can confirm that Logstash 5.0 will still receive beats from Beats 1.3
