Hi there 🙂, using Knapsack I'm trying to import a Kibana 4.0 index. After importing and starting Kibana 4.3.1 I get the following error Message while opening Kibana in the browser: "[document\_already\_exists\_exception] [config][4.3.1]: document already exists, with: {"shard":"0","index":".kibana"}" Stopping Kibana and "curl -XDELETE localhost:9200/.kibana/config/4.3.1" does not help, Kibana still shows the error above. Any ideas how I get this working? Is there an upgrade path to follow? Elasticsearch version is 2.1.1 Thanks and Cheers, Markus ---

I recently saw this. Went through [this](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5519) and waited for my refresh interval to pass (was set at 120s for me) and the issue went away. (after the DELETE). Not sure if I have the correlation right, just sharing incase. Hope this helps. Thanks ---
