Hi there, first of all thank you very much for your great support @jasontedor. As mentioned here: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/28538](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/28538) I'm creating an explicit thread asking how to downgrade ES on a debian system where ES was initally installed and upgraded to 6.2 using apt-get. Please tell me what other information you need in detail. Thanks, André ---

For Debian with `apt-get` you can specify the version: `$ sudo apt-get install elasticsearch=6.1.3` This will in-place install Elasticsearch 6.1.3 over your 6.2.0 installation. You can then upgrade again after you address the plugin issue that got you here in the first place. ---

wow, that was surprisingly easy! Took me 20seconds to install 6.1.3, remove x-pack and reinstall 6.2 ELK up and running again Hopefully the multiple pipelines feature is working now! Thanks jason! ---

To downgrade on rpm based systems I had to do: ``` sudo yum downgrade elasticsearch-6.1.3-1 sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove x-pack sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install x-pack sudo systemctl start elasticsearch ``` After which things normalize...
