Hey, recently upgraded to kibana 5.1.1 on centos 7.2. Server is working fine, i go to localhost:5601 and the new (pinker) kibana loads good but everything is blank like in the printscreen: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/5/5dd8290f4f97cd2af60ebee1c1878527217c4045.png) Even if i click on the other buttons, everything stays the same, except for timelion which seems to work properly. Anyone knows whats wrong with this? ---

Does the browser developer tools provide any additional information? Any error messages? ---

yeah but i dont really know what to do with it ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/4/4a000027b98ecc1ace9f609ec41c993ca2507c0e.png) Obviously kibana is running. And about the "indexPattern's configured pattern does not match any indices", shouldnt kibana create a new index in ES? ---

Yes, kibana does create a `.kibana` index, but it doesn't look like that is the cause of the error. It appears that there is a problem with an existing index pattern in kibana. I was able to recreate this situation by forcing a bad `index-pattern` record into my `.kibana` index. What is the nature of your upgrade? Are there existing visualizations/etc that you want to preserve from the previous version? Do you still have elasticsearch indexes that would match the index-pattern `'tracy-*'`? ---

Filebeat, Logstash and ElasticSearch automatically upgraded so Kibana stopped working, thats why i upgraded to a newer version compatible with the others. I dont need to preserve any visualization, i just use Kibana to check the stream of data that goes into Elasticsearch. No i dont have ES indexes that match the pattern tracy-\* ---

I deleted the .kibana index and restarted kibana and now it works. Maybe the old .kibana index is not compatible with the new one? ---

If you don't care about any of the existing data in kibana, you can delete your `.kibana` index, and it will be recreated when you restart kibana. ---

Ha. You beat me to it. It was incompatible because your default index pattern was pointing to indices that no longer exist. ---
