Hello. I have 1 ELK Cluster that has Kibana 4.5.1 that I would like to upgrade to the latest 4.5.x train so I can use maps. I also have another ELK Cluster that has Kibana 4.5.2 that again would like to upgrade to the latest 4.5 train (again for maps). Do I just stop the service, install the new file and then start again or better to uninstall the existing version? Thanks. ---

Did you use the repos? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/setup-repositories.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/setup-repositories.html) ---

HI Yes for both I used Repos. The Ubuntu box I used APT-GET and installed from the URL The Oracle box I downloaded and ran it locally (yum localinstall). ---

Just update the repos and do the usual yum update stuff and you should be good! ---

On these Systems I have Marvel and Sense plugins also installed.. Do I need remove and re-install them? In saying that with regards to Marvel if I update the kibana plugin should I then remove and re-install the elasticsearch plugin as well? ---

Done. The Oracle box was a troublesome becauase it has no direct Internet so I had to d/load the RPM and use yum localinstall to run it. Kibana would not start no matter what I did so I uninstalled Kibana and then again installed and after a reboot it worked. The Ubuntu box which has direct Internet access went through like a breeze... no problem I have not updated the plugins though, but they are all working as normal. ---
