Breaking changes

edit

Breaking changes can prevent your application from optimal operation and performance. Before you upgrade, review the breaking changes, then mitigate the impact to your application.

Remove Elastic Agent routes and related services from Kibana and implement them in Fleet Server

Details
Elastic Agents now use the Fleet Server to enroll agents, get agent policies, collect status information, and more. For more information, refer to #97206.

Impact
To run and manage Elastic Agents, use the Fleet Server instead of Kibana. For more information, refer to Fleet Server.

Invalidate API keys for existing agents

Details
The existing agents in Kibana are not migrated as part of the migration to Fleet. For more information, refer to #95789.

Impact
The existing agent API keys are invalidated and display as Inactive on the Agents page.

Known issues

edit
fleet_enroll role and user no longer needed and should be removed

Details

The fleet_enroll role and user are no longer needed for central management of Elastic Agents in Kibana.

Impact
If the role and user were set up in a previous release, remove them now to avoid them being orphaned in the cluster. #98745

Elastic Agents unenrolling from a self-managed Fleet Server hang at "Updating" and API keys are not invalidated

Details

In Kibana, when you unenroll an Elastic Agent from a self-managed Fleet Server, the status may hang at "Updating". This problem only occurs with Elastic Agents connecting to a Fleet Server started with a service token.

Impact
You must do a force unenroll to remove the Elastic Agent and invalidate the API keys, or unenrollment hangs indefinitely. #380
