Migration guide

From Wazuh 4.0.0 to Wazuh 4.2.7, the default Wazuh installation included the Wazuh server and Open Distro for Elasticsearch, a project that is now archived and has been succeeded by OpenSearch. This guide includes instructions to migrate from Open Distro for Elasticsearch to the Wazuh indexer and Wazuh dashboard, the new components introduced in Wazuh 4.3.0.

• Migrating to the Wazuh indexer: Follow this section to migrate from Open Distro for Elasticsearch 1.13 to the Wazuh indexer. This new component consists of a distribution of Opensearch with additional tools that Wazuh has created to assist with the installation and configuration of the search engine.

• Migrating to the Wazuh dashboard: This section will guide you through the migration from Open Distro for Elasticsearch Kibana 1.13 to the Wazuh dashboard. This new web interface for the Wazuh platform is a customized OpenSearch Dashboards distribution that includes different sections, visualizations and tools to manage the Wazuh indexer information and the Wazuh Server.
