Compatibility issues with Elasticsearch update

Dear TheHive and Cortex users,

If you are running TheHive v3.5.0 and / or Cortex v3.1.0, the underlying database is Elasticsearch v7.x.

Elastic recently released two new versions: v7.11.0 and v7.11.1. After some initial feedback and investigations, we found that the new releases introduce changes that break the compatibility with our products – TheHive 3.5.0 and Cortex 3.1.0.

Therefore, please DO NOT upgrade your current database to Elasticsearch v7.11.x as no rollback is possible. Elasticsearch v7.11.x breaks the installation process as well as the update process.

If you are in the process of installing or updating to Cortex v3.1.0 or TheHive v3.5.0, you need to specify the exact working version of Elasticsearch to use:

  • For Debian packages: “apt install elasticsearch=7.10.2”
  • FOR RPM packages: “yum install elasticsearch-7.10.2-1”

We are currently running deeper investigations and are planning to release updated versions as soon as possible for Cortex v3.1.0 and for TheHive 3.5.0.

We will keep you informed, stay tuned!
