Deprecated features

This section lists the configuration flags which have been deprecated, removed or replaced in Memgraph, and the versions where the changes happened.

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

JSON value of --metrics-format3.11Not yetNot 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.
