Version removed from default ILM policy name
editTo prevent custom ILM policies from breaking during upgrades, the default ILM policy name no longer includes the Beats version.
If you want to include the version, use the setup.ilm.policy_name
configuration setting. For example:
setup.ilm.policy_name: "%{[agent.name]}-%{[agent.version]}"
Two Beat instances can no longer share the same data path
editTo prevent accidental overwriting of internal state, two instances of the
same Beat running on the same host can no longer share the same data path.
To customize the data path for a Beat, use the path.data
configuration
setting. For example:
path.data: ${path.home}/data-instance1
