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: (log output) Nov 27 13:46:51 sjc1upp-logc01 systemd[1]: Started Kibana.

all good now ... 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](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: `sudo vi /etc/kibana/kibana.yml` - elasticsearch.hosts: ["[http://host-external:9200](http://host-external:9200)"] ---
