Hi,
I have installed on Ubuntu 14.04.4. I've configured Kibana 4.4.1 to work with Elastic Search and installed:
Marvel, Sense and TimeLion.
How do I upgrade from Kibana 4.4.1 to 4.5?
Many thanks.
How did you install 4.4.1? If you used a repo then just use the relevant system tools to upgrade.
Otherwise unzip 4.5 the tar.gz/zip and use that.
To install I did:
sudo apt-get -y install kibana
I edited my kibana.yml and installed various plugins (TimeLion, AppSense) and I don't want them to be dropped. I also installed a license certificate.
I'm a repo newbie - how do I upgrade without losing all my current config? To be safe I want to backup my config files. Where are they located?
Many thanks.
Debian/Ubuntu will ask you if you want to keep a config that is not default.
Otherwise it's under /opt/kibana/config/.

sudo apt-get -y install kibana
- forgive my stupid question - I type this again to start the upgrade?
Yes, that will work

This upgrade has the following problems
- https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6730
- Requires ES 2.3
- Requires Marvel 2.3.2
I recommend users to image their system before upgrading.
