Hi Team

Got stuck in Kibana Saved object migration error. Getting following error while starting Kibana insance:

> log [15:32:53.967] [info][savedobjects-service] Waiting until all Elasticsearch nodes are compatible with Kibana before starting saved objects migrations...

Even if I remove **.kibana\_1** and **.kibana\_task\_manager\_1** and restart Kibana, error remains same. Actually Kibana itself first creates these 2 indices on startup and then immediately showing that these 2 indices are already exist and throws above error.

I am using docker based elasticsearch cluster with example docker-compose.yml on [this documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html).  
Due to this, I am not able to start Kiabana instance. Please suggest solution to this.

Regards

Hi @maadhav! Sounds like you're trying to upgrade your version of Kibana. Is that right? What versions are you going from and to?

You might be able to find an answer to your question in our troubleshooting guide: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/upgrade-migrations.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/upgrade-migrations.html)

Hi myasonik

Thanks for the reply. I tried to update Kibana 7.6.2 to 7.7.0. and then I moved back to 7.6.2.
