Breaking changes

Coming in 9.0.0.

We strive to maintain backward compatibility between minor versions (8.x to 8.y, for example) so that you can upgrade without changing any configuration files. On occasion, we are forced to break compatibility within a given major release to ensure correctness of operation.

This section covers the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating to Logstash 9.0.0 and later.

Migrating directly between non-consecutive major versions (7.x to 9.x) is not recommended. We suggest that you upgrade to the last release in the 8.x series before you upgrade to 9.0.

Check out our Release Notes for additional release information.
