Is there any reason to believe the latest version isn't compatible?

thanks for replying, its very critical for me.

Actually we proposed that we will install ELK 5.6 as a service on Windows but when i checked https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#/matrix_os URL , windows 10 is not mentioned in it.

So i got confused whether ELK can be installed as a service on windows 10.
If yes then kindly advice the ELK version.

Thanks

Kindly confirm ELK 5.6 or latest version(ELK 6) can be installed as windows service in windows 10.

Please reply.

Thanks

You're right, Windows 10 isn't listed in the matrix. I'm surprised. Anyway, I don't know anything about the actual compatibility and whether any problems should be expected.

For reasons already stated I can't do that.

Install Elastic Stack 6.0. It'll only take a small amount of time.
Test it.
If it's not working, go to 5.6.x.

OK I will try installing ELK 5.6 /6.0 on windows 10 as a service.

If you have any supporting link or document for installing ELK on windows 10 as a service. Kindly provide the same.

Thanks

Elastic has an service installer inside bin folder of the Windows package.
For Kibana and Logstash I'm using Windows Service Wrapper.
Beats, I'm using filebeat, has also a service installer on the root of the package.

Please confirm if you have tested installing ELK 5.6/6 on windows 10

Thanks

I'm running Windows server 2012 R2.

I don't see why it should not run on W10. But I didn't test it.
