Hi Rangarasan, please make sure that you delete the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/graylog.postrm before you update. There was an error in older versions of the appliances that first uninstalled everything and than installed the new version which means that the data was gone. This is fixed in newer versions of the appliance.
