I am very new to Elastic Search. I was curious if ES service can periodically check for the latest version such as 1.1.3 and update nodes one at a time silently? I am in the process of writing PowerShell script to do this but thought ES might have solution for this already. thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

No it doesn't. You could do it with puppet/chef.

If you haven't already, see: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. In general, I would advise against doing automated updating unless you have a significantly large cluster size. Mostly because nothing is guaranteed version to version and there might be caveats for new releases you might not be aware of before your cluster has already started the process. It would be very simple for something to go wrong that might affect data integrity and/or cluster stability. If you must proceed down this route, create a small staging/test cluster w/ data and test the upgrade there first. Hopefully you're using VMs so you can snapshot and observe your upgrade's behavior before affecting production systems. Note: If you were thinking of updating a node in-place, you should instead try symlinking the production ES service so you can then (1) download the new version, (2) stop shard allocation and ES, (3) update/change the symlink, and (4) restart ES. Also covered in the link above. On Monday, August 11, 2014 1:39:24 PM UTC-5, [kti...@hotmail.com](mailto:kti...@hotmail.com) wrote: > I am very new to Elastic Search.
