Elasticsearch plugin is red in Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi Team,

I'm getting "Elasticsearch plugin is red error" and "[illegal_argument_exception] Rejecting mapping update to [.kibana] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [index-pattern, config]", while accessingKibana first time.

I have created single standalone cluster for Elastic search.

please see below Kibana logs (these are the few lines from log).

I'm very new to Elasticsearch and Kibana and configuring them first time. Please help me to know if there is something that I missed in my configuration.

Thanks for your help.

I'm running this on Ubuntu localhost.

Elasticsearch:

{

"cluster_name" : "My Cluster",
"cluster_uuid" : "KaGSko1qSj6JvKSwShSHew",

"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Kibana:

I see that you are using Kibana 5.6.0 against ES 6.0 . You will not be able to create Kibana indices as stated in the error message against ES 6.0 . I would recommend you to upgrade Kibana to 6.0 as well.

You should be able to create then seamlessly.Do let us know if you face any issues further..
