I am currently upgrading from the highest available version, v 8.19.3, to v 8.19.8. I successfully completed the process on two of the three servers in the cluster, but now I am having problems with the one that acts as the masternode. When I stop the Elasticsearch service from monitoring, it still appears as online, and errors begin to appear from Kibana. I would appreciate it if you could share a command to run from devtools to remove it from the executables as a master node while I manage to update it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/2/622cd7f13c224e3cc0cde462b0fcc7263e678b6e.png) ---

Commands on Kibana DevTools will be sent to the nodes configured in `kibana.yml`. Which nodes are configured in Kibana? ---

It should try the other nodes. But just to confirm, you have just one node as master? If so your cluster will not be available until the node is up again.
