API Gateway, Elasticsearch, Kibana Compatibility Matrix
As stated earlier, API Gateway uses Elasticseach as its primary data storage. The compatible Elasticsearch versions for the API Gateway versions depend on the API Gateway data type.
API Gateway data can be broadly classified into following four types:
*Core data. This type includes APIs, Applications, Policies, Plans, Packages, Administration Settings, Security Configurations (Keystores/Trustores) & Tokens (OAuth/API Keys).
*Transaction data. This type includes the runtime transactions events and metrics data.
*Application logs
*Audit logs
The table below lists the Elasticsearch versions and corresponding Kibana versions that support the storage of core data and transaction data of the available API Gateway versions:
