If you run 9.4.3 or an earlier 9.4 build, plan an upgrade to 9.4.4. Review the release notes for each product you use before you change anything, then upgrade those products to 9.4.4. Treat 9.4.4 as the preferred 9.4 version for new installs as well.
Check that every Elastic Stack product you run is on 9.4.4 after the upgrade, not left on 9.4.3. Use the release notes to confirm the fixes that matter for your setup are in this build. If something still looks wrong, recheck product versions and the release notes for that product before you assume the upgrade finished cleanly.
