If you are looking to upgrade, you should follow this order: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/6.0/upgrading-elastic-stack.html#upgrade-order-elastic-stack](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/6.0/upgrading-elastic-stack.html#upgrade-order-elastic-stack)

During the upgrade, Kibana 5.6 will support ES 6.0 to aide in a rolling-upgrade.
