Hi,  
I currently have the Kibana version 4.4.1. I noticed that a new version has been released that fixes the tile map visualization (4.5.3). I want to upgrade to that while still keeping the dashboards and indexes. What are the steps to upgrade?  
I could not find anything in the docs.

I used the yum command to install the rpm package..Does the upgrade follows the same process?
