Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to install the beats of a specific version from the repository?  
I have tried:  
wget -qO - [https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch](https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch) | sudo apt-key add -  
echo "deb [https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/apt](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/apt) stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-5.x.list  
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install filebeat=5.0.2

But then I get the reply:  
E: Version '5.0.2' for 'filebeat' was not found

I do not always want the latest. I want to upgrade in a controlled manner.

Do you have another track than "stable main" with all 5.x versions?

Br Mathias

This is currently a known issue with our packages, the release process removed the older 5.X packages and we're working to fix it 🙂
