::::{dropdown} Upgrading Kibana from 8.18.x to 9.0.2 fails due to a configuration conflict in the kibana.yml file

Applies to: {{stack}} 9.0.2

Details

Upgrading {{kib}} from version 8.18.x to 9.0.2 fails due to a configuration conflict if xpack.alerting.cancelAlertsOnRuleTimeout is set to false in the kibana.yml file. {{kib}} fails to boot and shows a fatal error message in the {{kib}} logs that's similar to the following:

FATAL Error: Rule type "transform_health" cannot have both cancelAlertsOnRuleTimeout set to false and autoRecoverAlerts set to true.

This failure occurs when the xpack.alerting.cancelAlertsOnRuleTimeout setting is set to false, which is incompatible with the default configuration of an internal setting (autoRecoverAlerts) in 9.0.2.

Action

To temporarily resolve the issue and allow the upgrade to proceed, follow these steps:

  1. Remove the xpack.alerting.cancelAlertsOnRuleTimeout: false setting from the kibana.yml file.
  2. Restart {{kib}} to apply the changes.

Resolved

This was resolved in {{stack}} 9.0.3.

Applies to: {{stack}} 9.0.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2

Details Errors occur when rules run during an active maintenance window that has filters and a matching rule category.

Workaround Remove any filters added to the active maintenance window.

Resolved

This was resolved in {{stack}} 9.0.3.

::::{dropdown} Issue with follower indices during upgrade :name: ua-follower-indices

Applies to: {{stack}} 9.0.0

Details

In Upgrade Assistant, follower indices may be identified to be reindexed. However, this is not a valid migration path and will result in an error. Instead, the recommendation is to mark as read-only and unfollow the leader index. Cross-cluster replication on that index will not be possible.

Find additional information in the upgrade documentation.

::::{dropdown} Unexpected deprecation warnings for APM indices during upgrade :name: known-issue-apm-upgrade-on-ech

Applies to: {{stack}} 9.0.0

Details

When upgrading an {{ech}} deployment to {{stack}} 9.0.0, you may see deprecation warnings for APM indices, even if you are not using APM.

If your deployment ever ran on {{stack}} 7.x, these APM indices have been created automatically at that time, even if you didn't use APM. In this case, these indices exist and are empty.

Action

To proceed with the upgrade to 9.0.0, you must resolve all deprecation notices for indices beginning with the name apm-7 by selecting Mark as read-only for each of them.

::::{dropdown} Upgrade Assistant - Rollup jobs need to be stopped before rollup indices are reindexed :name: known-issue-211850

Applies to: {{stack}} 9.0.0

Details

Rollup indices, like all indices, created in 7.x or earlier need to be reindexed in preparation for migration to 9.0. However, in addition to the normal reindex process the rollup job also needs to be accounted for.

Action

Stop the rollup job before reindexing begins otherwise there may be a gap in rollup data. You can restart the job can after reindexing is complete.

This needs to be performed manually until addressed in the upgrade assistant code.

View #211850.
