Opensearch dashboard compatibility with server

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser): 2.8 , 2.14

we are on Opensearch 2.8 and ran into some regression issues introduced by Opensearch versions 2.11.1 which are fixed in later version 2.14
but there are still some issues with dashboards which are not fixed.

if we upgrade server to 2.14 and keep dashboards on 2.8 is there risk ?

Describe the issue:

we are on Opensearch 2.8 and want to move to 2.14 to get support for flat fields.
but 2.14 dashboard has regression

os dashbaord 2.14 has issue [BUG] Wrong deserialization method is chosen in a mixed cluster of <2.11 and 2.11 nodes when PA is enabled · Issue #3771 · opensearch-project/security · GitHub
but got recently fixed in 2.15

we are considering following options

  • moving server to 2.14 and keep dashboard to 2.8
  • move server to 2.14 and cherry pick fix for dashboards from 2.15

Hi @sudssf2014 ,

I think, that the safest option is to use the same major and minor version of OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards.
