@santhosh_kumar2 I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. Could you let me know what version you're running and how you are running Kibana please?

@santhosh_kumar2 thank you for the version number. If you're running locally off of a build, could you try bootstrapping again?  
You might need to clean up old packages, so try running:  
`yarn kbn clean`  
followed by:  
`yarn kbn bootstrap`
