Hi, We have AWS Elasticsearch service with version 7.4 We want to make it centralized Elasticsearch. We have one standalone ELK stack (version: 7.6.2) with filebeat, metricbeat configured. We are planning to point the Logstash (version:7.6.2) of that stadalone ELK stack to the AWS Elasticsearch (version: 7.4) Will that version mismatch between Logstash (7.6.2) & Elasticsearch (7.4) create any problem/ will it work properly? And also the same mismatch between Metricbeat (7.6.2) and Elasticsearch (7.4). Will it create any problem/ will it work properly? (Here we will point metricbeat directly to Elasticsearch) Thanks. ---

You need to use the same version everywhere. BTW did you look at [Cloud by Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/cloud), also available if needed from [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK) ? Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to **all features** , all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas, Maps UI, Alerting and built-in solutions named [Observability](https://www.elastic.co/observability), [Security](https://www.elastic.co/security), [Enterprise Search](https://www.elastic.co/enterprise-search) and what is coming next 🙂 ... ---

The [support matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility) seems to indicate this should be fine, but AWS runs a fork of Elasticsearch with their own security plugin so there are no guarantees. ---
