Hi, I am upgrading to Version 5.4 from Version 5.0 After upgrade process, the elastic refuses to start, giving the following message: bootstrap checks failed system call filters failed to install; check the logs and fix your configuration or disable system call filters at your own risk I know it can be ignored by settings. How can I solve it and supply the required packages ? Thanks, Ori ---

Thanks, I have already read it. Is it possible to install the missing packages ? Ori ---

I don't know. I guess it depends on the OS and its version. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/system-call-filter-check.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/system-call-filter-check.html) suggests that you can at your own risk bypass it for OS which does not support this. ---

I want the exact opposite, I want to install the needed packages. How do I do that ? Thanks, Ori ---

You shouldn't need packages, just make the config changes the bootstrap needs. ---

Thanks. Found: > I am on RHEL 6, so all I need to do is to Disable it. Ori ---
