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? > > > Kibana version: 7.8.0 > Elasticsearch version: 7.8.0 > Server OS version: Archlinux > Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): Arch AUR package > Describe the... ---

@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](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 ---
