Version 9.4.4 of the Elastic Stack was released today, according to the Elastic Blog. Elastic recommends upgrading to this latest version and prefers 9.4.4 over previous versions, including 9.4.3. For details of the issues that have been fixed and a full list of changes for each product in this version, refer to the release notes.

To install or upgrade, plan a move from your current Elastic Stack deployment to 9.4.4, treating 9.4.4 as the recommended target instead of remaining on 9.4.3 or other prior versions. Use the product-specific guidance and change list in the 9.4.4 release notes so each component in the stack is updated in line with what this release documents. After the upgrade path is clear from those notes, apply the update across your Elastic Stack products so the whole stack runs 9.4.4.

Before you finish, confirm you are not staying on 9.4.3 when 9.4.4 is available, since Elastic recommends 9.4.4 over that prior version. Check the release notes for the fixed issues and the full list of product changes so you know what this version alters in your environment. After install or upgrade, verify that your stack components report version 9.4.4 and that the changes described for each product in the release notes match what you expect in operation.
