Please note that 6.5 has been [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) for some time now. You should be using 7.10.1 as the current latest release.

Ok but what about the Kibana logs?

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/7.10/upgrading-elastic-stack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/7.10/upgrading-elastic-stack.html) is the best place for that 🙂
