Upgrading Using Package Managers
This procedure uses package managers to upgrade Logstash.
- Shut down your Logstash pipeline, including any inputs that send events to Logstash.
- Using the directions in the Installing from Package Repositories section, update your repositorylinks to point to the 7.x repositories.
- Run the
apt-get upgrade logstash
or yum update logstash
command as appropriate for your operating system.
- Test your configuration file with the
logstash --config.test_and_exit -f <configuration-file>
command. Configuration options forsome Logstash plugins have changed in the 7.x release.
- Restart your Logstash pipeline after you have updated your configuration file.
