I'm upgrading from ES and Kibana 2.3 to 6.1, and can't seem to submit index-pattern, visualizations, dashboard etc to the ".kibana" index.
This is how i was submitting them in ES 2.3
```auto
curl -vvv -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT -d@/kibana-objects/index-pattern/logs-\*.json "elasticsearch:9200/.kibana/index-pattern/logs-*?pretty
```
Same for visualizations and dashboard.
Now in 6.1, when I try to do this I get this response:
```auto
{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason" : "Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [index-pattern, doc]"
}
],
"type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason" : "Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [index-pattern, doc]"
},
"status" : 400
}
```
How can i submit default index pattern for kibana in 6.1 ?

Hi Hazim,
We have removed types from 6.0. You need to upgrade to 5.6 first - migrate your .kibana index and then upgrade to 6.1.

Here is a blogpost for explaining Kibana's upgrade to 6.0:

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Im doing a clean setup just wanted to use my old files i.e. index patterns visualizations etc. or wanted to convert them to 6.1 format.
Would i still need to upgrade to 5.6 first?

Yep 🙂 5.6 is mandatory to upgrade to 6.x.
