Hey everyone, I have ELK stack version 6.1.1 installed with corresponding x-pack plugin, but there is no Upgrade Assistant in Kibana\>Management. The only thing I see is license management under elasticsearch and kibana options. I have the basic license activated. Are there any settings in yml files I'm missing? Thanks! ---

There is no such an assistant in 6.x series as 7.x has not been released. The upgrade assistant is available in 5.6. ---

Thanks. I was worried I set it up the wrong way. 🙂 ---
