Elasticsearch plugin is red in Kibana

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.

Hello,

What version of ES, Kibana are you using. Can you please elaborate o the environment - OS, proxy etc ? .

Thanks

I'm running this on Ubuntu localhost.

Elasticsearch:

{
"name" : "My_Node-1",
"cluster_name" : "My Cluster",
"cluster_uuid" : "KaGSko1qSj6JvKSwShSHew",
"version" : {
"number" : "6.0.0",
"build_hash" : "8f0685b",
"build_date" : "2017-11-10T18:41:22.859Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "7.0.1",
"minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Kibana:

$ sudo bin/kibana --version
5.6.0

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..
