I recently re-installed my ELK stack to a cloud server instead of a local box, and I am running into a slew of issues with Kibana.

Everything is set up correctly, my indexes ARE being created from Elasticsearch(you can see them with the `http://<ip-of-ELK>:9200/_cat/indices?v` command. Kibana _is_ an index that shows up.

Here is what happened the first time that I got to Kibana:

1. The normal page showed up to type in an index to represent
2. I type in filebeat-\* , and then hit create
3. Server error, Kibana was not started properly
4. I do the `systemctl reset-failed kibana` and `systemctl restart kibana` on my server, because I didn't see anything in my error log for Kibana.

Running ELK 5.2  
CentOS 7 is the host system

@Ben_Hoffman,

yikes, that looks nasty.

First question: are you doing an upgrade from an earlier version? Or did you just did a reinstall on a different box?

@thomasneirynck

Reinstall on a different box.

I deleted the .kibana inced and got some things back, but then as soon as I type in the mapping pattern it says that it fails.
