Description

Please add the ability to mark the ELK install packages as "on hold" in the packet manager during the installation process.

It would be very useful to have the packages on hold (e.g. apt-mark hold elasticsearch) so you don´t have to take care about the packages when installing updates on the host system.
At the moment it could happen that you´re accidentally updating a ELK component during a "normal" update install on the host system.

Research direction

Start by tracing the collection's installation process and the package-management tasks for the ELK components. Determine where packages are installed, then verify that the requested packages are marked on hold during installation and remain protected during a normal host update.
