Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Kibana 7.13.3
ElasticSearch 7.13.3
After a kibana upgrade , I cannot restart the server.
The webpage stay on "Kibana server is not ready yet" .
My /var/log/kibana.log has :
```auto

Can you share what version you're upgrading from? Has elasticsearch been upgrade and can you confirm the cluster is accessible using the credentials in kibana.yml?
