Dear team, I want to upgrade my ES cluster to a newer version. This is the version I`m using: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/9/097659f6e9a66ebcca07b204a6d8919c16730dac.png) According to the bellow page: > **[Rolling upgrades | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.15\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rolling-upgrades.html)** I just want to know can I upgrade my cluster with `Rolling Upgrade` ? Or which way should I consider to upgrade my cluster and have the service up simultaneously...? I have a cluster with 4nodes of ES data and 1node of Kibana instance. I've already checked this page: > **[Migrating your Elasticsearch data | Elasticsearch Service Documentation |...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-migrate-data.html)** I need a vision of what should I do Thanks ---

Just one another question: How can I run newer version on a node which older version is running? my Elasticsearch runs on a CentOS with SysV. I got the new version of Elasticsearch.tar and extracted it in `/home/my_user` directory and changed the `elasticsearch.yml` to older version's config specifics. Disabled shard allocation and also did "sync flush" then stopped older version: ` service elasticsearch stop` Now I want to run the newer version with the same config file... What should I do? How can I run new Elasticsearch? This is `elasticsearch.yml` of my newer version: (same as the older one) ```auto cluster.name: logServer node.name: elk2 node.master: true node.data: true path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch network.host: 0.0.0.0 transport.host: 172.22.34.37 http.port: 9200 discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["172.22.34.36" , "172.22.34.37"] ``` ---

You need to run the binary directly - [Install Elasticsearch from archive on Linux or MacOS | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.15/targz.html#targz-running) ---

Thank you so much And last thing, is it ok to upgrade ES 7.6.2 directly to 7.15.2 ? Or should I upgrade to the latest version with specific step? ---

> [@Farid\_N](#): > > e ES 7.6.2 directly to 7.15.2 ? elasticsearch might not be a problem. but kibana config has change a bit. but it won't be too much hassle. just turn to log file of kibana and it will tell you why it failed. ---
