after I update elasticearch from 6.0 to 6.0.1, elasticsearch.service won't start anymore and I'm getting errors in my error log:

You need to uninstall ingest-geoip, and then install it on 6.0.1 again.

@jasontedor
Thanks, I uninstalled `ingest-geoip`, perform update to elastic stack to 6.0.1 and then installed it back!
Everything worked as it should!
