I'm new to this world but have followed the instructions for getting Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana running. Elasticsearch appears to be running properly: ``` { "name" : "Tether", "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch", "version" : { "number" : "2.0.0-rc1", "build_hash" : "4757962b01a4d837af282f90df9e1fbdb68b524e", "build_timestamp" : "2015-10-01T10:06:08Z", "build_snapshot" : false, "lucene_version" : "5.2.1" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } ``` I haven't been able to access Kibana at localhost:5601 though, I get an ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED. When I run kibana.bat I get a search\_parse\_exception error: ``` C:\Users\bgow\Documents\MIMIC\III\ElasticSearch\kibana-4.1.2-windows\bin>kibana. bat {"name":"Kibana","hostname":"28544pc","pid":7224,"level":30,"msg":"Found kibana index","time":"2015-10-15T19:45:16.690Z","v":0} {"name":"Kibana","hostname":"28544pc","pid":7224,"level":50,"err":{"message":{"r oot_cause":[{"type":"search_parse_exception","reason":"No mapping found for [bui ldNum] in order to sort on"}],"type":"search_phase_execution_exception","reason" :"all shards failed","phase":"query","grouped":true,"failed_shards":[{"shard":0, "index":".kibana","node":"X16Xrp5cT3-2OU-af8FaPA","reason":{"type":"search_parse _exception","reason":"No mapping found for [buildNum] in order to sort on"}}]}," name":"Error","stack":"Error: [object Object]\n at respond (C:\\Users\\bgow\\ Documents\\MIMIC\\III\\ElasticSearch\\kibana-4.1.2-windows\\src\\node_modules\\e lasticsearch\\src\\lib\\transport.js:235:15)\n at checkRespForFailure (C:\\Us ers\\bgow\\Documents\\MIMIC\\III\\ElasticSearch\\kibana-4.1.2-windows\\src\\node _modules\\elasticsearch\\src\\lib\\transport.js:203:7)\n at HttpConnector.

I believe you are using incompatible versions or Elasticsearch and Kibana. Elasticsearch 2.0.0-rc1 requires [Kibana 4.2.0 beta2](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana) or later. ---

Thank you for the quick reply. You are correct, using Kibana 4.2.0.beta2 resolved this issue. Kibana is now running! ---
