Hi @sunil_patel, It looks like upgrade from 2.x to 5.x is supported, but not 2.x to 6.x. See: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/breaking-changes.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/breaking-changes.html) [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/breaking-changes.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/breaking-changes.html) Thanks, Liza ---

Appreciate you time.. Can please do more it clear as... I was meant ES should be as on version 2 , but only kibana needs to upgrade , so kibana 5.x is compatible with that old version of ES2.x or not ---

Sure @sunil_patel, here is our support matrix, it looks like it is not compatible to do Kibana 5.x with ES 2.x. [https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix\_compatibility](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility) Thanks, Liza ---
