Stash Elasticsearch Addon

Stash 0.9.0+ supports extending its functionality through addons. Stash Elasticsearch addon enables Stash to backup and restore Elasticsearch databases.

This guide will give you an overview of which Elasticsearch versions are supported and how the docs are organized.

Available Elasticsearch Addon Versions

Stash has the following addon versions for Elasticsearch:

• 5.6.4-v32
• 6.2.4-v32
• 6.3.0-v32
• 6.4.0-v32
• 6.5.3-v32
• 6.8.0-v32
• 7.14.0-v18
• 7.2.0-v32
• 7.3.2-v32
• 8.2.0-v15

Here, the addon follows M.M.P versioning scheme where M.M.P (Major.Minor.Patch) represents the respective database version.

Addon Version Compatibility

Any addon with matching major version with the database version should be able to take backup of that database. For example, Elasticsearch addon with version 7.x.x should be able take backup of any Elasticsearch of 7.x.x series. However, this might not be true for some versions. In that case, we will have separate addon for that version.
