KIbana Upgrade failure

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I'm trying to upgrade a 5.4 cluster to 7.3.

  • I first upgraded to 5.6.16 to get access to the Upgrade UI in Kibana

  • That worked fine, and I was able to run the Reindex helper tasks and see the indices status change in the Cluster Upgrade view

  • Then I installed 6.8 but Kibana gives an error on start-up of;

    log [14:12:05.882] [error][status][plugin:spaces@6.8.0] Status changed from yellow to red - Index .kibana belongs to a version of Kibana that cannot be automatically migrated. Reset it or use the X-Pack upgrade assistant.
    log [14:12:05.884] [fatal][root] { Error: Index .kibana belongs to a version of Kibana that cannot be automatically migrated. Reset it or use the X-Pack upgrade assistant.

Any ideas ?

Hi there! This occurs because the .kibana index wasn't migrated to 6.x before upgrading Kibana to 6.8. There are some solutions here: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/14934#issuecomment-344298224. The second option would be the easiest solution (manually migrating the index per https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.0/migrating-6.0-index.html).
