Elasticsearch version 1.3 is not compatible with Kibana 4 #108

Closed dexxtreme closed 9 years ago

dexxtreme commented 9 years ago

The default version for Elasticsearch is currently set to 1.3.4, and the default version for Kibana (kibana_lwrp) is 4.0.0-beta3. Kibana 4 does not support Elasticsearch lower than version 1.4. Unless you override the version, you are presented with the following error:

Kibana: This version of Kibana requires Elasticsearch 1.4.0 or higher on all nodes. I found the following incompatible nodes in your cluster: Elasticsearch 1.3.4 @ inet/xx.xx.xx.xx:9300

The default needs to be updated: https://github.com/rackspace-cookbooks/elkstack/blob/master/attributes/elasticsearch.rb#L3

Kibana 4 has some bugs currently that also need to be fixed (RE: they changed some option names, but didn't update their code -- can't find the bug for this currently), so I think at this point we're recommending people pin back elkstack to before the current major version. We also discovered in testing https://github.com/rackspace-cookbooks/elkstack/pull/104 that Elasticsearch 1.4.x has a data issue where data isn't flowing (tests fail when they try to search for a log line).
