I tried to bring up the Kibana GUI. IP:5601 this error appeared:
This version of Kibana requires Elasticsearch ^2.2.0 on all nodes. I found the following incompatible nodes in your cluster: Elasticsearch v1.3.9 @ inet[localhost/127.0.0.1:9200] (172.22.xx.xx)
I have installed kibana-4.4 and elasticsearch-2.2
Thanks

Could you navigate to `127.0.0.1:9200` in your browser and paste the output here? I don't think we've had reports of Kibana incorrectly identifying Elasticsearch versions in the past.

Are you using an old version of Logstash with the transport protocol?

Where is your elasticsearch instance running? I thought it was local based on the error in the original post. What happens if you try to to load the url configured in kibana.yml as the elasticsearch host in your web browser? You should get a status page including the elasticsearch version number when sending a simple GET request to ES.

The elasticsearch is running on the master server.
I tried opening the GUI 127.0.0.0:9200 and localhost:9200 and 172.22.17.62:9200

Here is the kibana.yml file, is there anything incorrect in the file?

Could you post that config to a gist or a pastebin so it's easier to read (or at least wrap it in preformatted text tags using the `` icon in the comment editor?
It looks like you need update
`elasticsearch.url: "http://localhost:9200"`
If elasticsearch isn't running at localhost:9200, you need to update that config option to whatever address elasticsearch is running at.

There's your problem, you're running a very old version of Elasticsearch.

What I did is remove the old version of elasticsearch and resinstalled the new version using yum.
Now I am not able to start elasticsearch. Here is the error:

The problem with the elasticsearch was permissions to create a node. I fixed that.
Elasticsearch started properly. I was able to bring up the Kibana GUI when I reinstalled the newer version of elasticsearch. Thank you all for your help.

i have 5.1.2 version of ES but i'm still getting the same error.
This version of Kibana requires Elasticsearch ^2.3.0 on all nodes. I found the following incompatible nodes in your cluster: Elasticsearch v5.1.2 @ undefined (10.10.10.72)

Hello,
I am getting the same error.
When I go to [http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/) , here's what I get :
```
{
"name" : "K0r0l9M",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"cluster_uuid" : "-Uqd4hpPTpyvHBM9Y0hUlw",
"version" : {
"number" : "5.3.0",
"build_hash" : "3adb13b",
"build_date" : "2017-03-23T03:31:50.652Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "6.4.1"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
```
Yet, when I go to Kibana, here's what it shows :
> plugin:elasticsearch : This version of Kibana requires Elasticsearch ^2.2.0 on all nodes. I found the following incompatible nodes in your cluster: Elasticsearch v5.3.0 @ undefined (127.0.0.1)
I have both Elasticsearch and Kibana on v5.3, why am I getting this error on Kibana ?
