Fatal Error: "trying to auto create mapping, but dynamic mapping is disabled"

Elastic Stack Kibana

I tried searching for the error but couldn't find one similar. I'm using Kibana 4.1 and the elastic search server I'm trying to connect to is 1.7.5 . The full error is below

Kibana: Request to Elasticsearch failed: "TypeMissingException[[.kibana] type[[config, 
trying to auto create mapping, but dynamic mapping is disabled]] missing]"

Hi Patrick,

From the logs it looks like the mapping doesn't exist. How was it installed? Is this a fresh install ?
Can you plz explain how you got to that scenario. More information would be helpful

Thanks

I'm not sure how the elastic search server was installed. It was setup before I was hired on. I installed Kibana by downloading version 4.1.1 from the elastic website (fresh install). I'm on a macbook pro running siera and access elastic search server through a vpn. I'm able to query elastic search through normal requests and through elasticsearch-dsl python api. Are there any commands I can run or things I can do to give you more info?
