There's really nothing special to it. If you've installed Logstash via a package manager (RPM or APT) just upgrade the package. If you've downloaded the tarball, download a fresh tarball. I'm not sure what you're asking.

Sorry, that kind of hand holding is more than I have time for. Maybe someone else can help you.
