Hi all,  
I want to connect my elastic search 7.11.0 with the recent contribution code. In this code, the version is mentioned 8.0.0. I want to know where I have to edit the versions and the steps to edit other required codes so that I will be able to connect.  
Thank you.

There should be no need to edit the code for that - the config flag `elasticsearch.ignoreVersionMismatch: true` controls this.

The code is located here [kibana/ensure\_es\_version.ts at 4584a8b570402aa07832cf3e5b520e5d2cfa7166 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/4584a8b570402aa07832cf3e5b520e5d2cfa7166/src/core/server/elasticsearch/version_check/ensure_es_version.ts#L60) if you are interested
