As an update: I have found out that I get these kinds of errors if I have the following setting in my `elasticsearch.yml`: > xpack.monitoring.enabled: true If I have it set to `false`, then everything starts just fine. So this leads me to believe that the issue is related to X-pack and monitoring. There's this other setting related to watches: > xpack.watcher.enabled: true This also throws an exception, but at least it doesn't flood the logs like the monitoring errors. Example: > [2018-06-15T15:03:50,773][ERROR][o.e.x.w.WatcherService] [elastic-host] couldn't load watch [ofkoEHUfTyOxi1yJz8Ylfg\_kibana\_version\_mismatch], ignoring it... >
