Upgrade etcd from 3.4 to 3.5 |
6650 |
Processes, checklists, and notes on upgrading etcd from 3.4 to 3.5 |
In the general case, upgrading from etcd 3.4 to 3.5 can be a zero-downtime, rolling upgrade:
- one by one, stop the etcd v3.4 processes and replace them with etcd v3.5 processes
- after running all v3.5 processes, new features in v3.5 are available to the cluster
Before starting an upgrade, read through the rest of this guide to prepare.
NOTE: When migrating from v2 with no v3 data, etcd server v3.2+ panics when etcd restores from existing snapshots but no v3 ETCD_DATA_DIR/member/snap/db
file. This happens when the server had migrated from v2 with no previous v3 data. This also prevents accidental v3 data loss (e.g. db
file might have been moved). etcd requires that post v3 migration can only happen with v3 data. Do not upgrade to newer v3 versions until v3.0 server contains v3 data.
NOTE: If your cluster enables auth, rolling upgrade from 3.4 or older version isn't supported because 3.5 changes a format of WAL entries related to auth.
Highlighted breaking changes in 3.5.
v3.5 promoted etcd_debugging_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes
Prometheus metrics to etcd_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes
, in order to encourage etcd storage monitoring. And v3.5 completely deprecates etcd_debugging_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes
.
-etcd_debugging_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes
+etcd_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes
Note that etcd_debugging_*
namespace metrics have been marked as experimental. As we improve monitoring guide, we may promote more metrics.
v3.5 promoted etcd_debugging_mvcc_put_total
Prometheus metrics to etcd_mvcc_put_total
, in order to encourage etcd storage monitoring. And v3.5 completely deprecates etcd_debugging_mvcc_put_total
.
-etcd_debugging_mvcc_put_total
+etcd_mvcc_put_total
Note that etcd_debugging_*
namespace metrics have been marked as experimental. As we improve monitoring guide, we may promote more metrics.
v3.5 promoted etcd_debugging_mvcc_delete_total
Prometheus metrics to etcd_mvcc_delete_total
, in order to encourage etcd storage monitoring. And v3.5 completely deprecates etcd_debugging_mvcc_delete_total
.
-etcd_debugging_mvcc_delete_total
+etcd_mvcc_delete_total
Note that etcd_debugging_*
namespace metrics have been marked as experimental. As we improve monitoring guide, we may promote more metrics.
v3.5 promoted etcd_debugging_mvcc_txn_total
Prometheus metrics to etcd_mvcc_txn_total
, in order to encourage etcd storage monitoring. And v3.5 completely deprecates etcd_debugging_mvcc_txn_total
.
-etcd_debugging_mvcc_txn_total
+etcd_mvcc_txn_total
Note that etcd_debugging_*
namespace metrics have been marked as experimental. As we improve monitoring guide, we may promote more metrics.
v3.5 promoted etcd_debugging_mvcc_range_total
Prometheus metrics to etcd_mvcc_range_total
, in order to encourage etcd storage monitoring. And v3.5 completely deprecates etcd_debugging_mvcc_range_total
.
-etcd_debugging_mvcc_range_total
+etcd_mvcc_range_total
Note that etcd_debugging_*
namespace metrics have been marked as experimental. As we improve monitoring guide, we may promote more metrics.
v3.4 defaults to --logger=zap
in order to support multiple log outputs and structured logging.
etcd --logger=capnslog
has been deprecated in v3.5, and now --logger=zap
is the default.
-etcd --logger=capnslog
+etcd --logger=zap --log-outputs=stderr
+# to write logs to stderr and a.log file at the same time
+etcd --logger=zap --log-outputs=stderr,a.log
v3.4 adds etcd --logger=zap
support for structured logging and multiple log outputs. Main motivation is to promote automated etcd monitoring, rather than looking back server logs when it starts breaking. Future development will make etcd log as few as possible, and make etcd easier to monitor with metrics and alerts. etcd --logger=capnslog
will be deprecated in v3.5.
v3.4 renamed etcd --log-output
to --log-outputs
to support multiple log outputs.
etcd --log-output
has been deprecated in v3.5.
-etcd --log-output=stderr
+etcd --log-outputs=stderr
etcd --debug
flag has been deprecated.
-etcd --debug
+etcd --log-level debug
etcd --log-package-levels
flag for capnslog
has been deprecated.
Now, etcd --logger=zap
is the default.
-etcd --log-package-levels 'etcdmain=CRITICAL,etcdserver=DEBUG'
+etcd --logger=zap --log-outputs=stderr
/config/local/log
endpoint is being deprecated in v3.5, as is etcd --log-package-levels
flag.

To upgrade an existing etcd deployment to 3.5, the running cluster must be 3.4 or greater. If it's before 3.4, please upgrade to 3.4 before upgrading to 3.5.
Also, to ensure a smooth rolling upgrade, the running cluster must be healthy. Check the health of the cluster by using the etcdctl endpoint health
command before proceeding.
Before upgrading etcd, always test the services relying on etcd in a staging environment before deploying the upgrade to the production environment.
Before beginning, download the snapshot backup. Should something go wrong with the upgrade, it is possible to use this backup to downgrade back to existing etcd version. Please note that the snapshot
command only backs up the v3 data. For v2 data, see backing up v2 datastore.
While upgrading, an etcd cluster supports mixed versions of etcd members, and operates with the protocol of the lowest common version. The cluster is only considered upgraded once all of its members are upgraded to version 3.5. Internally, etcd members negotiate with each other to determine the overall cluster version, which controls the reported version and the supported features.
Note: If the cluster only has v3 data and no v2 data, it is not subject to this limitation.
If the cluster is serving a v2 data set larger than 50MB, each newly upgraded member may take up to two minutes to catch up with the existing cluster. Check the size of a recent snapshot to estimate the total data size. In other words, it is safest to wait for 2 minutes between upgrading each member.
For a much larger total data size, 100MB or more , this one-time process might take even more time. Administrators of very large etcd clusters of this magnitude can feel free to contact the etcd team before upgrading, and we'll be happy to provide advice on the procedure.
If all members have been upgraded to v3.5, the cluster will be upgraded to v3.5, and downgrade from this completed state is not possible. If any single member is still v3.4, however, the cluster and its operations remains "v3.4", and it is possible from this mixed cluster state to return to using a v3.4 etcd binary on all members.
Please download the snapshot backup to make downgrading the cluster possible even after it has been completely upgraded.
This example shows how to upgrade a 3-member v3.4 etcd cluster running on a local machine.
Is the cluster healthy and running v3.4.x?
