I tried all the methods described in the homepage of bigdesk to connect to es 6.2, but all failed,  
it says does not support new versions, so is there any way to connect to new version of es with bigdesk,  
thanks a lot!

No there is not.

You will need to use another tools like the [built-in monitoring](https://www.elastic.co/products/stack/monitoring) or [cerebro](https://github.com/lmenezes/cerebro).

Hi,

as an author of Bigdesk I would suggest you to have a look at [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) and have your ES cluster crape it using one of available exporters options, like [elasticsearch-prometheus-exporter plugin](https://github.com/vvanholl/elasticsearch-prometheus-exporter/) for example.

Regards,  
Lukáš
