Kibana 7.4.2 upgrade is not starting

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Just tried to upgrade elasticsearch and kibana from 6.8.5 to 7.4.2.
elasticsearch seems to be running (based on output from curl)

curl -X GET "localhost:9200"
{
"name" : "sjc1upp-logc01",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"cluster_uuid" : "na",
"version" : {
"number" : "7.4.2",
"build_flavor" : "default",
"build_type" : "deb",
"build_hash" : "2f90bbf7b93631e52bafb59b3b049cb44ec25e96",
"build_date" : "2019-10-28T20:40:44.881551Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "8.2.0",
"minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "6.8.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

but kibana seems to be in a loop with the following errors:

turns out the older elasticsearch.yml and kibana.yml files had issues..!

I applied the followin as per https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/36079
and fixed my problems! thx

Elasticsearch v7.4.1:

sudo vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

  • node.name: node-1
  • discovery.seed_hosts: ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
  • cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["node-1"]

Kibana v7.4.1:
