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). # ================= {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-11-20T12:42:56Z","tags":["info","elasticsearch"],"pid":15210,"typeName":"index-pattern","typeMapping":{"properties":{"fieldFormatMap":{"type":"text"},"fields":{"type":"text"},"intervalName":{"type":"keyword"},"notExpandable":{"type":"boolean"},"sourceFilters":{"type":"text"},"timeFieldName":{"type":"keyword"},"title":{"type":"text"}}},"message":"Adding mappings to kibana index for SavedObject type "index-pattern""} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-11-20T12:42:59Z","tags":["info","elasticsearch"],"pid":15210,"typeName":"index-pattern","typeMapping":{"properties":{"fieldFormatMap":{"type":"text"},"fields":{"type":"text"},"intervalName":{"type":"keyword"},"notExpandable":{"type":"boolean"},"sourceFilters":{"type":"text"},"timeFieldName":{"type":"keyword"},"title":{"type":"text"}}},"message":"Adding mappings to kibana index for SavedObject type "index-pattern""} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-11-20T12:43:01Z","tags":["info","elasticsearch"],"pid":15210,"typeName":"index-pattern","typeMapping":{"properties":{"fieldFormatMap":{"type":"text"},"fields":{"type":"text"},"intervalName":{"type":"keyword"},"notExpandable":{"type":"boolean"},"sourceFilters":{"type":"text"},"timeFieldName":{"type":"keyword"},"title":{"type":"text"}}},"message":"Adding mappings to kibana index for SavedObject type "index-pattern""} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-11-20T12:43:04Z","tags":["info","elasticsearch"],"pid":15210,"typeName":"index-pattern","typeMapping":{"properties":{"fieldFormatMap":{"type":"text"},"fields":{"type":"text"},"intervalName":{"type":"keyword"},"notExpandable":{"type":"boolean"},"sourceFilters":{"type":"text"},"timeFieldName":{"type":"keyword"},"title":{"type":"text"}}},"message":"Adding mappings to kibana index for SavedObject type "index-pattern""} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-11-20T12:43:06Z","tags":["info","elasticsearch"],"pid":15210,"typeName":"index-pattern","typeMapping":{"properties":{"fieldFormatMap":{"type":"text"},"fields":{"type":"text"},"intervalName":{"type":"keyword"},"notExpandable":{"type":"boolean"},"sourceFilters":{"type":"text"},"timeFieldName":{"type":"keyword"},"title":{"type":"text"}}},"message":"Adding mappings to kibana index for SavedObject type "index-pattern""} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-11-20T12:43:09Z","tags":["info","elasticsearch"],"pid":15210,"typeName":"index-pattern","typeMapping":{"properties":{"fieldFormatMap":{"type":"text"},"fields":{"type":"text"},"intervalName":{"type":"keyword"},"notExpandable":{"type":"boolean"},"sourceFilters":{"type":"text"},"timeFieldName":{"type":"keyword"},"title":{"type":"text"}}},"message":"Adding mappings to kibana index for SavedObject type "index-pattern""} I'm very new to Elasticsearch and Kibana and configuring them first time.

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](http://seamlessly.Do) let us know if you face any issues further.. Thanks Rashmi ---
