Version 6.3 is out and it includes a lot cool new features.
The best feature is that Elastic is more open than ever. In fact it is more linked to X Pack but the annoying things with X-Pack are gone (Licence, trial and so on) So that’s a very nice move from them for those who wants to use the free licence. It is possible to use directly the images from Elastic without having to ask for a licence or to modify the parameters in order to make the pay options disappear.
Of course there are still some annoying stuffs with the plugins. Every version Kibana version breaks a few stuff but at least, it is never a full rewrite of the plugin.
As for the other versions, the easiest way to check the stack is to simply execute the following docker-compose.yml file.
Docker Compose File for the stack 6.3
Services:
- Cerebro on port 9000 to check the status of elastic search nodes
- Grafana on port 3000
- Elastic Search on port 9200
- Kibana on port 5601 My Kibana version simply already includes the Traffic Light panel. It is possible to use the image “docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.3.0” in order to get a standard installation. Note that starting Kibana can take a few minutes so be patient.
