Deprecated features
This section lists the configuration flags which have been deprecated, removed or replaced in Memgraph, and the versions where the changes happened. For privileges, see Removed privileges.
Removing a flag is a three-part process:
- From the Deprecated in version, the flag still works, but it is announced as going away.
- From the Ignored from version, Memgraph accepts the flag, but the flag has no effect.
- From the Rejected from version, Memgraph does not recognise the flag and fails to start if the flag is specified.
Currently deprecated
| Feature | Deprecated in | Ignored from | Rejected from | Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
JSON value of --metrics-format | 3.11 | Not yet | Not yet | --metrics-format=OpenMetrics. JSON still works, but the default changed to OpenMetrics in 3.13, so pass --metrics-format=JSON to keep it. See Migrating from JSON to OpenMetrics. |

Removed privileges
| Privilege | Rejected from | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
COORDINATOR | 3.13 | None |
COORDINATOR never gated any operation. From 3.13, GRANT, DENY and
REVOKE statements that name it fail with a syntax
error, so remove them. A grant made before
3.13 is never checked. Access to high availability coordinators is controlled
by separate, coordinator-only privileges; see coordinator
authentication.
