Hi,
We are running version 2.x of ElasticSearch in our production environment.
We are currently in the process of migrating everything to version 6.2+.
Meanwhile, we have an urgent need to perform live queries against our ES 2.x in production.
So the question: may I install the last version of Kibana in prod and will this version be able to interact with ES 2.x ?
Many thanks

No, that is not possible. Kibana 6.x is not compatible with Elasticsearch 2.x. See the [support matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility) for further details.

Ok, that's what I suspected.
Then, which version of Kibana should I download and install to work with version ES 2.x ?
