Operate 8.0.1 not supporting Elasticsearch 8.1.3?

We are about to migrate our ELK to 8.1.3 and I was checking if the latest Zeebe and Operate versions do deal with it properly.

Zeebe started fine and the exporter did create the indexes as usual.

Operate did also start, created the below indexes

  • operate-batch-operation-1.0.0_
  • operate-decision-instance-1.0.0_
  • operate-event-1.0.0_
  • operate-flownode-instance-1.3.0_
  • operate-incident-1.3.0_
  • operate-list-view-1.3.0_
  • operate-operation-1.0.0_
  • operate-sequence-flow-1.0.0_
  • operate-variable-1.1.0_

but then the log shows lots of errors and the data from Zeebe is not imported. The referred index was not created.

Any idea?

Defining the index aliases with {“is_write_index”:null} seems not to work with ES 8.1.
Created those indexes manually, but then Operate complained during creation of documents in brixdev-operate-migration-steps-repository-1.1.0_ that it is “unable to parse response body”. It retried many times, the POD was even killed by K8s couple of times, then it “gave up” and Operate started.
Please check what you can do to make Operate work w/o manual interactions with Elastic 8.1

Hello!

Did you found out the problem? I faced with the same problem

Hi @Dias_Alpysbayev, unfortunately not, I’m still waiting for this.

Afaik Camunda Platform doesn’t support Elastic 8.x

Oh… So, I cannot launch it by docker? Do you know any alternatives except cloud?

You can use Elastic 7.x this should work. Did you tried that ?

Indeed it works with Elastic 7.x. But since we want to upgrade our ES cluster to 8.x this incompatibility blocks us from doing so.

Maybe @felix-mueller can share some information about plans when we will support elastic 8.x :slight_smile:

Any update on ES 8 support @felix-mueller ?

guess by now it does support ES >= 8.8
