Breaking Changesedit

APM Server is built on top of libbeat. As such, any breaking change in libbeat is also considered to be a breaking change in APM Server.

There are no breaking changes in APM Server.

7.5edit

The following breaking changes have been introduced in 7.5:

Introduced dedicated apm-server.ilm.setup.* flags. This means you can now customize ILM behavior from within the APM Server configuration. As a side effect, setup.template.* settings will be ignored for ILM related templates per event type. See set up ILM for more information.
By default, ILM policies will not longer be versioned. All event types will switch to the new default policy: rollover after 30 days or when reaching a size 50gb. See default policy for more information.
To make use of all the new features introduced in 7.5, you must ensure you are using version 7.5+ of APM Server and version 7.5+ of Kibana.
