Hello @jenkinscommunity, I know upgrading jenkins just by replacing .war file is bypassing configuration process and wont be work perfectly in some cases.  
One of my colleague done the same, he messed jenkins service using .war file and its throwing failed error always. I am sharing logs. and Using **RHL-7**

I don’t want to go with latest version 2.401 LTS right now using

```auto
*#yum update jenkins*

```
