After installing the elasticcloud heroku add-on, on the overview page is a link the to kopf dashboard. Opening Kopf it starts spamming the error: "This version of kopf is not compatible with your ES version".
There was [another post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/this-version-of-kopf-is-not-compatible-with-your-es-version/67251/2) about this error, but it was closed and ended with the suggestion: "The warning pops up on every UI update, so adjusting the refresh threshold value in Kopf." But I'm not sure what that means, or how i can update it since I didnt install Kopf, just using the heroku add-on.
Thanks,
Bryan

I would also like some assistance with this - seeing the same thing. The answer in the other post wasn't really helpful/clear.

Kopf is not compatible with ES 5.X.

Mark, Thanks for the reply!
Do you know why is it included with the heroku add-on if it's not compatible? What are the recommended alternatives and does the heroku add-on provide them?
Thanks,
Bryan

I dunno sorry, we don't manage heroku.

Mark, Is there another location to get support for the add-on? The add-on domain is [https://cloud-heroku.elastic.co/](https://cloud-heroku.elastic.co/) and all support links go to [elastic.co](http://elastic.co), so I assume someone at elasitc is aware of it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Oh right, try posting something over in the Cloud category?
However you can use KB + Console.
