Kibana not started

Elastic Stack Kibana

I recently upgraded elk from 7.7.0 to 7.8.0
The elasticsearch is working fine but when I try to start kibana it shows following error. Please help
FATAL Error: [config validation of [xpack.reporting].enabled]: definition for this key is missing

I try to check the status of kibana and found following status
[root@localhost covid]# systemctl status kibana

We are seeing the same issue. Installed via docker containers.

We had the following config in our kibana config file:

xpack.reporting.enabled: true

Commenting out / removing this and restarting Kibana got the instance running again.

This might be a documentation issue in 7.8 perhaps?

@tsullivan @joelgriffith Has this option changed in 7.8 and there are perhaps some documentation missnig for it?

Update: There seem to be an issue for that logged already, that you can follow: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/69621

I commented on the issue that this was an overlooked bug that came about from Kibana Platform migration. Sorry about that!

Commenting out #xpack.reporting.enabled: false and restarting kibana resolve the issue.
Thanks for the help
