Hi @vijayakrishna.rg

Could you describe the steps you took to install x-pack? In 6.8 it is supported to have x-pack installed already if you are using the default distribution channels (docker container or website [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana) ). If that works for your setup, could you try to use the default distribution?
