Kibana UI pops up with the following error

child "elasticsearch" fails because [child "indices" fails because ["indices" at position 0 fails because ["allow\_restricted\_indices" is not allowed], "indices" at position 1 fails because ["allow\_restricted\_indices" is not allowed]]]

Is this the full message ? You mentioned you get this in the UI but this looks more like a settings validation error. Do you have an `elasticsearch.indices.allow_restricted_indices` setting in your kibana.yml ?

Which Kibana version and Elasticsearch version are you using ?

I don't see that in kibana.yml  
ES version 6.8.1  
kibana 6.4.3
