hello, After investigation we found that elastic was on 7.17 version and after rebooting the server he downgraded on 7.10 version. I don't know how that happen but when i tap the yum history command i see that someone performed a downgrading that maybe didnt took effect on 2022 and after that i rebooted the server that took effect and make the elastic service failed. ```auto ID | Command line | Date and time | Action(s) | Altered ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18 | update elasticsearch | 2023-01-31 18:48 | Upgrade | 1 EE 17 | install --enablerepo=elasticsearch elasticsearch-7.10.2-1 | 2022-09-16 16:43 | Downgrade | 1 EE ``` ---
