Upgrade Elastic Cloud Log Deployments [v8.17.x]

DRI: @knottos

Elasticsearch version 8.17.3 has recently been released.

Deployments to upgrade:

  • gitlab-logs-nonprod (8.12.1)
  • gitlab-logs-prod (8.12.1)
  • monitoring-cluster (8.12.1)

Our account manager over at Elastic reached out: It would be great to catch-up as we launched Elastic 8.15 which features our new LogsDB index profile to save costs on logging.

We should schedule time for an upgrade - for the benefits of maintaining the latest version, but also to benefit from any recent costing/feature additions.

Elastic Release Notes

Ideally we'd like to upgrade straight from 8.12.1 to 8.17.3, this is possible if we dont have any breaking changes to our workflows as detailed in #3763 (comment 2382965302).

  • 8.13.x
  • 8.14.x
  • 8.15.x
  • 8.16.x

We will upgrade the monitoring cluster deployment first, followed by nonprod and then finally the production cluster.
