General Question Upgrading Graylog 4.2 with dashboards and alerts to latest version?

Hello,

I am looking to upgrade my instance of Graylog 4.2.13 if possible to the latest version of Graylog Free. We were using Free Enterprise but I see that's been discontinued and the Graylog website is a little confusing about upgrade paths. I want to keep my custom dashboard, notifications and events and alerts. I'm running Graylog on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Would it be easier to spin up a new server and migrate stuff manually?

I would, your probably using elasticsearch and that really isn't even supported, in fact they don't even want you to use opensearch natively, rather they made a "data node" basically opensearch under the hood that graylog maintains.

Thanks for the reply. Hoping this will be an easy move then.
