Can you help me to migrate .kibana index which are already exist in 6.8 and I want to migrate it to 7.10 manually ?

Anyone's help will be really appreciated. Let me know If you need any further details.

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you want to avoid doing this with Upgrade Assistant? It should save you a lot of time.

If it's for licensing reasons (Upgrade Assistant are under the free Basic & Trial licenses), you can still install the default distribution of 6.8 to use Upgrade Assistant to upgrade to the OSS distribution.

If you are trying to upgrade manually, I'd still recommend at least looking at the Upgrade Assistant so you can review the checklist of index issues that need attention. If you don't want to use Kibana, you could also get the deprecations directly from Elasticsearch (GET /_xpack/migration/deprecations), which is what the Upgrade Assistant reads from.
