Zabbix 4.0 / Elastic Search
Hi
We are using Zabbix since 1.6 and now 3.0 (because it's LTS) and are thinking about switching to 4.0 as soon as it is available and working fine.
Because we have a large historical database in MySQL we are exploring the possibilities to use Elastic Search for historical data.
Now I've seen at https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...c_search_setup that Elastic Search support is experimental
In addition this experimental support is limited to version 5.0.x to 6.1.x but the current version is 6.3.2.
Now my questions:
1. Is the experimental support limited to 4.0.0.alpha9 pre-release or in general for 4.0.x ?
2. How about using newer versions than 6.1.x - any experiences, yet ?
3. Does the migration from 3.0 to 4.0 migrate the non-historic data, if finished. the zabbix server starts working and the historical data is migrated in the background ?
I've checked the documentation but there is unsufficient information about this topic.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment :-)
