Kibana not starting after 7.6 Upgrade

Hello, I just did an upgrade from Kibana 7.3 to 7.6. After installing with the RPM and using the same kibana.yml file I had before, I tried to start the service and after 3 restarts I got the following error

journalctl -fu kibana.service

I've been looking to the Fatal Error but can't find anything that helps.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you may need to reset the task manager index. You can do this by executing this curl against your Elasticsearch cluster: curl http://myelasticsearch.com:9200/.kibana_task_manager -XDELETE

Thanks josh, I already did this on my two elasticsearch nodes and I am still having the same problem

I don't even have a kibana_task_manager any more:

What logs are you getting when you start Kibana?

Hey Josh, don't know what I did different but it came up. Thanks for the help
