Hi.
I did just upgrade my ELK stack to this version. The indices are still there, AFAICS:
```auto
GET /.kibana-6/_search?size=50| jq '.hits.hits[] | ._id'
"search:efc86390-6df2-11e7-ab05-31526f6beede"
"config:5.2.2"
"config:5.3.0"
"config:5.4.3"
"config:5.5.0"
"config:5.3.1"
"config:5.3.2"
"index-pattern:csp-report-*"
"visualization:474099b0-7075-11e7-8ed3-f9622eeed60d"
"search:807890e0-a430-11e7-b5ea-e5995dcb34f8"
"config:5.5.1"
"config:5.5.2"
"visualization:aa362f40-a431-11e7-b5ea-e5995dcb34f8"
"dashboard:793265c0-7075-11e7-8ed3-f9622eeed60d"
"url:ad847824e1be3952b074d33b7f776fdd"
"config:5.6.2"
"config:6.0.0"
"config:6.0.1"
"config:6.1.3"
"search:99d8fab0-02aa-11e8-b97f-c53644903342"
"search:bd042780-0cff-11e8-90e9-0534e8464955"
"index-pattern:access-*"
"index-pattern:logstash-*"
```
But Kibana just tells me "Index Patterns: In order to visualize and explore data in Kibana, you'll need to create an index pattern to retrieve data from Elasticsearch.".
There are no index patterns, but under `Management > Saved Objects` I can find one dashboard, four searches and two visualizations...
What gives? 😕
Thanks!

I could solve this myself, the only thing Kibana wanted was to mark one of the index patterns as default which caused it to add a`config:6.2.4` document to the `.kibana-6` index.
