API Gateway, Elasticsearch, and Kibana Compatibility Matrix
As stated earlier, webMethods API Gateway uses Elasticsearch as its primary data storage. The compatible Elasticsearch versions for the API Gateway versions depend on the webMethods API Gateway data type.
webMethods 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) and Tokens (OAuth/API Keys).
- Transaction data. This type includes the runtime transactions events and metrics data.
- Application logs
- Audit logs
Note: The support for API Data Store (embedded Elasticsearch) is deprecated and will be
removed in future releases. To address security vulnerabilities and simplify upgrades, configuring
an Elasticsearch is now the only supported approach.
The table below lists the Elasticsearch versions and the corresponding Kibana versions that support the storage of core data and transaction data of the available webMethods API Gateway versions:
| webMethods API Gateway | Compatible Elasticsearch versions (Core data level) |
Compatible Elasticsearch versions (Transaction data level) |
Compatible Kibana version |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11.1 | 8.12.2 | 8.12.2 | 8.12.2 |
