Upgrade stops running service

[hundredacres]

Kibana version: 5.1.2

Elasticsearch version: 5.1.2

Server OS version: CentOS release 6.8

Browser version: n/a

Browser OS version: n/a

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): Yum

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:

Yum update breaks a running service. The preinstall script stops the service, but the postinstall script doesn't start it up again. Either you stop managing the service, or you start it up again after upgrade.

Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant):

/var/log/messages:Jan 13 04:06:36 is04 /etc/init.d/kibana: Attempting 'stop' on kibana
/var/log/messages:Jan 13 04:06:36 is04 /etc/init.d/kibana: Killing kibana (pid 14082) with SIGTERM
/var/log/messages:Jan 13 04:06:36 is04 /etc/init.d/kibana: Waiting kibana (pid 14082) to die...
/var/log/messages:Jan 13 04:06:36 is04 /etc/init.d/kibana: kibana stopped.

/var/log/messages:Jan 13 04:06:51 is04 /etc/init.d/kibana: Attempting 'stop' on kibana

My engineer had to manually start the process here -

/var/log/messages:Jan 13 04:23:08 is04 /etc/init.d/kibana: kibana is not running
/var/log/messages:Jan 13 04:23:14 is04 /etc/init.d/kibana: Attempting 'start' on kibana
/var/log/messages:Jan 13 04:23:14 is04 /etc/init.d/kibana: kibana started

The same happens on Ubuntu using the PPA provided packages. Is there a chance to get this fixed?

[Rittsel]

This is still the case upgrading from 5.4.3 to 5.5 with RPM (yum on CentOS 7) with elastic repositories.

I think this is mislabelled. It is not an enhancement request. It is a bug that really needs fixing.

Happened again today when upgrading to 5.5.1.

@jbudz could you check the labelling on this issue. I don't think "enhancement" is the correct label here.

This is also present in the Debian package when upgrading to 5.6.1 from the Elastic APT repo. Running Ubuntu 16.04

I am experiencing this on 7.17:

Scriptlet output:
1 Using bundled JDK: /usr/share/logstash/jdk
2 Using provided startup.options file: /etc/logstash/startup.options
3 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.
4 /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/pleaserun-0.0.32/lib/pleaserun/platform/base.rb:112: warning: constant ::Fixnum is deprecated
5 Successfully created system startup script for Logstash
6 Stopping kibana service...Stopping kibana (via systemctl): [ OK ]
7 OK
8 Created elasticsearch keystore in /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.keystore

Note that step 6 stops kibana rather than restarts it, and there is no later start of the service to compensate.
